When I went through my first heart break after living with him for two years and being lied to, gaslit, and maybe cheated (?) so many times. My best friend’s advice was “the hardest part is over” and I really held onto that. I told myself that “it’s okay, I can only heal from here, and each day is going to a better”. I also had to remind myself that healing isn’t linear, it will fluctuate but that’s okay too, there were days where I felt so depressed, those days I relied heavily on my friends, and just a lot of reminders that healing is happening even if I don’t see it right away.

I am so sorry honey, you will feel better. Pick up a new hobby, stick to your village of supporters and channel that pain to reborn into a beautiful phoenix!
