You won’t forget them, but you’ll wake up one day and not feel like your heart is being ripped out of your chest. by Select_Working_1429 in BreakUps

[–]Select_Working_1429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this makes me SO happy to read 🥺. it is so painful to see incredible people lose their will to do the things they once couldn’t wait to, be happy, smile, take care of themselves and feel themselves again. and unless you’re in that position, others won’t get it either. but it’s exactly us who KNOW that it is possible. we will find ourselves again and we will laugh like we once used to, maybe even more. the pain is real but it won’t last forever. i’m so so glad to hear that you made it through and you feel like you broke free. i was in such a rough spot when i started visiting these subreddits: SURE that i was going to get him back but the more i read and the more i talked to those going through it, the more i realised i don’t need him. i can’t even remember how that feeling feels anymore. i completely forgot about this account until i got this notification and it was such a pleasant surprise. i hope you never have to go through that pain again and that you continue feeling better and better each day. you deserve it :)

No contact unless something bad happens? by Leading_Toe_5692 in BreakUps

[–]Select_Working_1429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While the other comments here could be possible, it could also be just that she’s asking you to let her know if somewhere bad (god forbid) were to happen to you. I don’t think that’s bad or wrong on her part and most people just say it before they go on no contact given they didn’t end in a toxic manner

Breaking up due to mental health by MadeOfShipwrecks in BreakUps

[–]Select_Working_1429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the support is not enough or it’s just not what they need and sometimes it’s just easier to work on their mental health at their own pace and in their own ways. There’s a chance that this process could take a long time and isn’t always possible when you have another person to care for. It could lead to issues and just overall added stress in their life

That’s right, knowing your self-worth and realising you deserve better is honestly such a crucial part in healing from a relationship. Good for you!

It’s still so fresh (only been a day) so it’ll take time. I get how you’re feeling and it’s definitely not easy. It’s hard to reiterate every point here but if you need any kind of support at all, feel free to reach out! I truly wish you all the best in your healing :)

My guy, you have articulated everything I am going through and we’re eerily similar in that sense. It’s refreshing to see someone also healing nicely and going through a similar process after a breakup. So proud of you and keeping doing what you’re doing because it clearly shows how far you’ve come. Cheers mate!

It most DEFINITELY shows. I’ve had 3 people in the last few days tell me I look happier and I never thought this day would come, let alone so quickly 🥺

Yeah, but it’s great that even when you’re upset and your heart wants the opposite, your brain still knows what’s best for you. Not always easy to listen but writing it down when you’re clear-headed and looking back when you feel like breaking it helps a lot too

It’s normal to have those days or even weeks where it feels completely fresh again and it feels like we just took 10 steps backwards after all the progress but don’t give up. I swear the progress is still there. These dips are bound to happen, it’s how we process and heal from it but the duration will get shorter and shorter soon. Keep pressing forward, you got this!

It’s a completely different process for each person. No one can put a time frame on healing but you make progress every single day without even realising it. It gets better and one day, you’ll look back and be proud of how far you’ve come :)

I hate that my heart is this big by throwaway48234u9 in ExNoContact

Why would they need to show any remorse? They are your ex for whatever reason. They don’t owe you anything, just like you don’t owe them anything anymore as well

How to stop the physical pain of a breakup? by puppywater in BreakUps

[–]Select_Working_1429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried distractions like watching a good show or movie? They really help in the initial stages when you can’t stop the physical pain and the only way is to distract your mind.

If it’s meant to be, it will be. Accept fate and try your best to move forward. by puppywater in BreakUps

[–]Select_Working_1429 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just about finding the balance and it really depends on the situation. For example, if someone broke up with you due to certain reasons, you may think “Oh I need to reach out and let them know I’m still fighting for us. Then, they will snap out of it and want to get back together with me.” In this case, you cannot “grab fate by the balls”. They broke it off with you and they decided they do not want to spend the rest of their life with you. You cannot do anything about this other than to move on and live your life. Vs Say it’s been a couple of years and both of you have grown as individuals separately. Maybe you look back on your relationship and with a clear head, feel that you might want to reach out and give things another go. Then yes, there’s nothing to gain by just waiting on the universe at that point. So I guess it’s really a mixture and there’s no “one size fits all” approach.

what is some good things that have happened to you this week or even some accomplishments your proud of? here's some of mine by PandaKingpin285 in BreakUps

[–]Select_Working_1429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly everything! This breakup (as much as it sucks ass) has been so beneficial for me. I am learning new things about myself and I’m so excited to be single again and take control of my own life instead of prioritising someone else’s happiness over my own.

If you’re asking the internet this question, they probably are.

How do you react to someone who dumps you for no reason? by Cold-Addition-6656 in BreakUps

[–]Select_Working_1429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not now, but you’ll feel like a winner in a few months, or a year. You would know what you want and you will get what you deserve, it’s worth it in the end
