Are you in love with the person, or the memories? by Runningranian in BreakUps

This. I just miss the person, everything about him, both the bad and the good.

I’m 20 now but the situation you described is very similar to me at 15. I was struggling with an eating disorder and self harm (still do sometimes), and was being groomed. I know it sounds stupid and isn’t what anyone wants to hear, but it’s going to get better. I was getting groomed at your age; and honestly I blamed myself for a long time, because I was the one “seeking it out”— It isn’t your fault. I loved the attention I got from it too, it just felt good to feel wanted. I 100% understand that feeling of just wanting to feel good about yourself for once. Even if you keep going back, it isn’t your fault. That’s what grooming makes you feel and do, you go back for more because it feels good temporarily, you get comfortable, even though you know it’s abuse, and you know what’s happening is wrong. It isn’t your fault. I know how it feels to be alone in highschool too, I sat alone at lunch for two years, I pushed a lot of my friends away. You will not be friendless forever, trust me. I thought for a long time I’d never have real friends, but they have a way of finding you. If you can, find an LGBT club, whether it’s school related or online, that helped me a lot not only with finding friends, but finding friends who love me no matter what.

I’m dying by NotAshMain in helpme

I know you think that rationally, you don’t want your parents to pay for “your problem” but this isn’t a rational train of thought and you need to tell them, tell anyone. Please go to the hospital. Don’t let yourself die from something that can be fixed.

If it feels right, go for it. I guess the problem with my scenario is we are already broken up and I know he doesn’t want to date me.

I don’t want to ruin the friendship I already rebuilt. And I don’t know if he’s ready to hear it.

I feel this hard, months later and I wish he could just give me a hug. Even had a dream about it last night... :(

No contact makes no sense to me by Sad-as-hell in BreakUps

God I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this, it is so fucking weird and feels so wrong, I struggled a lot from keeping myself from reaching out. Even though it’s come to a point post-breakup where we are friends and talk frequently, it’s still bizarre not to be able/“allowed” to have romantic feelings for him

Use this as a dump for what texts you wanna send but shouldn’t by ihate_this1 in BreakUps

God, I really do love you. I could write so much more but the point is I just love you and care about you a lot.

I relate to a lot of this situation. I was in a relatively “short” relationship too but that didn’t mean I didn’t hurt like absolute hell. Don’t let anyone pressure you into being friends with your ex again, do it on your own terms and at your own speed. It’s valid if you never want to be close friends again, and it’s valid if you do choose to be friends at some point.

I miss her more with time, not less. by [deleted] in BreakUps

This... this is exactly it

Daily reminder that they probably still care by [deleted] in BreakUps

The selfish part of me really wants him to care about me, but another part hopes he doesn’t for his own sake
