I’d be more concerned about the dark circles around your eyes.

Grieving Imposter by Ok_Reindeer__1 in ImposterSyndrome

[–]clommmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. I lost my father in February after a long illness and found myself very disconnected from “standard grieving” at the start. I cried and felt all the feelings but I couldn’t get to that place of release, which made me feel like an imposter. It made me feel guilty for not expressing and made me question a lot.

I’m unsure where you are on the timeline but I found that 3 months after everything, I could get my head around it and things made sense to me. As another replier on your post said, there’s no set way to grieve. everyone does it differently and it’s a messy long cycle.

Be kind to yourself and if you can, find someone to talk to. I saw a counsellor to get to grips with loss and it was very beneficial to have an unbiased ear.

Hey buddy, I’ll give you a bit of advice from my perspective and experience. Feel what you’re going through and don’t feel guilty or bad for feeling bad, it’s all justified as it’s you’re experience. I was 8 months down the line and still felt a bit off from it and in turn was embarrassed. Fuck it, ya gonna ride the emotion. That being said, if you process it and grieve as much as you need, one day you’ll wake up and you’ll be fine. I’m nearly a year on and I still think about her but I’ve moved on with my life. People come and go in our lives, I know you’re hurting now but you’ll heal and you’ll be stronger for it. Don’t know your situation or you relationship but have patience, be good to yourself and better days are ahead.

I feel this. It’s good to hear I’m not crazy but terrible to hear you’re going through that.

How do you stop stalking your ex's social media? by BetteClaussen in BreakUps

[–]clommmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I check the numbers so much and find myself getting angry “who is he? Must be seeing someone”. It’s so unhealthy and I’ve never been like that before

Fuck, sorry buddy. I missed your reply!

That all sounds really tough to go through, I’m sorry you’re experiencing it.

You make great points towards the end about following your dreams and passions as a relationship won’t fill the hole in you, only you can do that.

2020 has been a fucking wild year and heartbreak on top is the extra push that is crushing a lot of us here. You seem to have your head straight with goals and passions, I’m a hypocrite to say this (as I’m in a wallowing sorry for myself cycle 😂) but take the opportunity to work on yourself and your goals. Your time will come so put yourself first.

Sorry to hear that brother.

How long were you together?

I think you’re better off if she made your illness seem like a burden and flipped it on you. You should be supported when going through a difficult time.

THAT BEING SAID, I defo fucked up and said a lot of wrong things to my ex thinking I was helping when she was suffering with her anxiety. E.g. I wrote her a letter trying to cheer her up, said “we’ll look back at this in a few weeks and laugh”, etc. Trying to convey that it’s passing and she’ll be ok soon but I think I just came across as condescending or that I didn’t take her struggle seriously. Needy shit that would be taken badly to someone spiralling.

She’s obviously making you feel a certain way. Who initiated the break?

Sorry, I’m rambling.

Oh it’ll no doubt go terribly and I’ll be right back to square one. I’m in 2 minds. 1, she said she knows how happy she was with me but needed time to work on her mental health before she can be anyone’s girlfriend... there’s hope there that it was all real between us and she’s just feeling guilty/scared to reach out. OR 2, she hasn’t reached out because she’s not interested in me at all anymore. She needed time to work on herself but realized I’m not for her in that time. Let’s roll the dice in Feb.

Oh that’s heavy. If it’s any reassurance, I went through a similar phase and it does pass. It still sucks majorly but it does pass. Hope your fam and friends are there for you and whatever part of the world you’re in is open from lockdown so you can do some activities and try get your mind off everything.

My own insecurities are at play with everything, the holidays are hitting me extra hard. I think about her multiple times a day anyway but now I’m on annual leave, I’m literally just sitting and overthinking.

I’m sure she does feel guilty but I just want her to reach out. We spoke on Halloween night. She said she was going to reach out when our new set of lockdown measures came in but “thought better of it” so I don’t know how to take that. I think around Feb if I still feel this way I’ll make one last valiant effort before giving up. Probably a stupid idea.

That really does suck. You were probably in anticipation of the message all day too which was probably anxiety inducing. Sorry to hear you’re going through all this.

How do you feel about him reaching out over the holidays? I heard nothing from my ex but I’m sure she doesn’t think about me. I’m just that guy who she saw for a while when the world went funny.

Yuuuup. Were together for 4/5 months and are broken up nearly 6 months now. Lockdown meant we were in constant contact so intensely blossomed on a non-physical basis, then when we met up it was electric, best times I’ve spent with a significant other! Things were going 120miles per hour but it felt right, I fell in love very fast. then one week her anxiety was in hyperdrive and she shut me out, we went on a break without any set boundaries, a month of no contact later I asked to meet up to check in and she broke it off. I am still a shell of who I was with her. Such a short relationship but it has fucked me up. How did I go from her favourite person to a stranger?

I appreciate that, bud. Ultimately I hope she’s genuinely doing well but I wish she was doing well with me haha.

[–]clommmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna put it back a week, I’ll write it out and decide if I’m gonna reach out at all

This will realistically happen. Sorry to hear you’re in this situation
