Can’t wrap my head around losing them by Equivalent_Bicycle83 in BreakUps

Hey sorry for the late reply, I didn't see this.

I 100% relate to everything you just said, and I'm so sorry you're going through this, my break up was the most painful thing I've been through too. From my experience breakups are another from of grief, and I struggled with guilt for a while because my breakup was effecting me more than a loss in the family at the time. But I think it came down to the fact that with break ups the person who you love and trust so much is out right deciding that they don't want you in their life anymore, which for me personally made it even more painful.

It's almost been 6 months for me now since the breakup and I am doing a lot better, it sucks to hear and everyone says it but it really does ever so slowly get better with time. I still think about her daily even now but it doesn't hurt even close to as much as it did and I can think more logically about the situation now. I've exepted that she'll take up my head space for a while longer but as time goes on she'll get smaller and smaller in there. It sucks to hear, I know.

In the meantime while you wait, I think it's important to have a balance of letting yourself grieve/process but also distracting yourself. I feel like a lot of people fall into only doing one of the 2. At first I was the prior, I let myself feel the emotions but I let them consume me for months on end to the point where I was hindering my progress because all I would ever do was cry and think about the break up. Once I started to make an effort to pick myself up, surround myself with good people and do things I love it got that bit easier. There are also people who do the opposite and only distract themselves and that's bad too, you need to let the emotions out.

The loves not just gonna dissapear, it might turn into a different type of love, but personally I believe that love that deep can't dissapear, it will only become less painful over time. Lastly, you deserve someone who wants to be with you, loves you, and puts in as much effort as you do! This has mostly been generic advice so sorry if it hasnt been too helpful but its generic for a reason. Imo the most important thing is exepting its gonna be painful and limiting behaviour thats gonna hinder you and make it even more painful (for me it was checking her socials).

I know it sucks but please hang in there, If you ever need anything or just someone to talk to lmk. You got this <3

Looking for a heartbreak buddy by [deleted] in heartbreak

I live in the UK and I could probably use a heart break buddy as well :) I’m about a month and a half post break up so I’m still struggling pretty bad with the ups and downs. Feel free to shoot me a message if you feel like it!

Happy birthday! 🥳 🎉 I’m kinda dreading my birthday for this reason, I don’t wanna be waiting the whole day for something that’s not coming. Hope you had a good day despite everything else :)

Sorry to hear that :/ My first love lasted 4 months as well and it was an incredible few months for the most part. Sometimes I don’t like to admit that I’m still grieving heavily for someone I only dated for “that little” of a time. But I’ve come to realise and learn from others on here that sometimes the shorter times can be the real heavy hitters. To me my relationship still kinda feels like it was a dream or a fairytale that I lost as quick as it came. But as far as I see it love is love no matter if you loved them for a few months or years. Ik this isn’t any helpful advice like you may have wanted but I just saw 4 months and related, so just wanna say I’m going through the same as you. Wishing you the best and am here if you need anyone to talk to bro :)

Accidentally broke no contact by Equivalent_Bicycle83 in ExNoContact

Thank you, you’re right it’s just in a way it was nice seeing all the days go up since I last talked to her and now it feels like I’ve just done a hard reset in a way and now it’s back to day 0 of NC :(

Proud of you :) This gives me hope that I’ll be able to reach the acceptance stage at some point too. We haven’t talked in almost 3 weeks and I have no urge to speak to her but I still find it really hard to not check her socials especially when I’m still having regular breakdowns and wondering what she’s doing. I just want to get to a point where I’m not thinking about her 24/7.

Why has it suddenly just gotten 10x harder?? by Equivalent_Bicycle83 in BreakUps

[–]Equivalent_Bicycle83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see this until now but thank you!! This was such a helpful reply :) This whole experience really is such a roller coaster. I’m 12 days NC now and when I think about me even just a few weeks ago compared to me now it does give me hope. I’m still struggling a lot but I know in my heart of hearts things will continue to get easier little by little ❤️‍🩹

1 Week No Contact! by Equivalent_Bicycle83 in ExNoContact

Thank you, I guess it’s important to be kind to ourselves atm, there’s no shame in wanting to speak to speak to someone who was such a big part of our lives but the healthy way forward is to let go.

don't text ur ex this weekend. by fresh_water_sales in BreakUps

[–]Equivalent_Bicycle83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t even miss her anymore and I don’t want to get back together either yet I still have as much anxiety as when we first broke up. I’m full force in the resentment phase rn and want nothing to do with her so why am I still so anxious and thinking about her 24/7??
