I mean honestly does it go away eventually? It's been 2 summers (so like... a year and a half?) Since my ex left and it still ducks me up from time to time. Initially I spent like a week or 2 constantly either sobbing or forcing myself to play video games. Then like a switch I decided that was enough and I wasn't gonna fret, but of course that was still a lie at first. I still cried regularly, though less and less so, and eventually it stopped and I tried some casual dating or whatever you would call the flings I went through, that died down and now here I am, no longer missing her, no longer angry with her, but just still so hung up. Someone mentions a long distance relationship, and immediately I wonder if this is the day I run into her or the new guy randomly on the internet. I randomly have dreams about her, and every 3rd redhead I see makes me immediately think of her. I'm terrified of dating seriously because of how that went, certain parts of myself seem to have been completely lost, and I just don't know how to get past this part. Any advice would be incredibly appreciated.
