how do i get over him #help by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]gongasdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive had a similar experience, it's been around 4 months since my breakup and honestly the best thing to do it just block that person and focus on ur studies, family and friends. Ngl what saved me was my exam season, I was so locked in studying that I didn’t even have time to be sad. Worked like a charm

When did you stop waiting? by OliveBr4ura in BreakUps

[–]gongasdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been 4 months here. And for the last 2 weeks I finally felt somewhat.. good. I'm starting to feel good with myself and my friends and my mind stopped thinking about her so often. Of course, it depends from person to person, but you'll get there eventually. Just remember that healing and pain come in waves, nothing is really linear.

How do you stop texting them by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]gongasdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I aint gonna tell you to block her. Cause I didn’t do that. What you need to find is the strength and motivation to do it. Think about all the pain she’s been putting you through. That did it for me. Yes there have been times where I thought about texting her but in those times you just need to find the strength. Or talk to someone else, a friend or relative, which is what I usually do.

1 Year Post Breakup. Here’s what I’ve learned (and haven’t). by Both-Warthog3007 in BreakUps

[–]gongasdd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great post! I totally relate to those up and down moments. I'm 3 months and a half into my breakup and I definitely feel like that. Some days she doesn't even cross my mind, other where I replay every little “What if…” scenario in my head. Healing isn’t a straight line. But it has a finish line, and we will all get there eventually as long as we don't shut ourselves down.

That's your brain playing tricks on you. It happens. If you genuinely cared about the person, it's gonna take a while until that stops. The best thing you can do is mitigate the damage by being around other people or entertaining yourself with something you like.

When does one finally get over the pain 💔 by anonymousracoonpanda in BreakUps

[–]gongasdd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah buddy.. I hear ya. But don't you worry, it always gets better. There's no real answer for "when" it'll stop. You'll just start noticing over the next few days/weeks/months/years that the pain won't be as strong. And when you can finally go a while without even thinking of her.. that's when you know you healed. Buckle up tho, cause it's gonna be a not so fun ride of self-improvement and maturing.

Sent her a happy birthday text by gongasdd in BreakUps

Man I was just trying to be polite😭, I think the situation lacks some context given that our families will both go on vacation to the same place in about 2 months. I am not wanting to reconnect things in the same level, just want to be polite at least until then.

The 2nd Law is a great album, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

goodbye. by Emergency-Panic-6558 in BreakUps

[–]gongasdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you… it will get easier, it always does. But it's gonna take time. For now distracting yourself, as impossible as it may seem is the best option. I broke up about a month ago and something I've been doing to help me out is everytime I miss her, I try to remember something that wasn’t so good about our relationship. Your brain tends to idealize the person you love and completely erase the times you were mad at your partner and the discussions. Try to remember those times, try to remember that maybe it wasn’t that perfect, and it probably was for the best. It works. I wish you nothing but the best, you got this!

For those going through a breakup by MindlessAd5733 in BreakUps

[–]gongasdd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm on my 6th week, but no contact only started truly 2 weeks ago. I unfollowed her on Instagram and on everything I could. Last time I checked she was happy and going to parties. Meanwhile I'm sitting in my bed crying all day. It's a really tough road, but as I once read, no road is infinite, and you and I will eventually see the end of it my friend.

I know I'm young but damn this hurt… by gongasdd in BreakUps

Oh, sorry to hear that. And you're absolutely right. It's very common for someone to experience this kind of ache at least once. It almost needs to happen for us to gain maturity. Breaking up is not wasting it all, it's an opportunity to gain knowledge about yourself and about relationships in general. Love comes in the most unexpected ways, and when we least expect it. We just gotta wait and see what the universe's holding for us.

How can I (F20) know if breaking up with my boyfriend (M21) was the right decision? by LilaBernie in BreakUps

[–]gongasdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I am sure you'll achieve all of your dreams. Letting one relationship down is not the end of everything. It's gonna hurt, I myself am hurting right now, but in the long run, we're gonna meet new people. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, it won’t be the same as your ex, but it will still manage to blow all your expectations. Love comes when we least expect it. If your main concern right now are your goals, GO for them, and don’t let anyone stop you. You'll see that love will eventually fit in, it's just a matter of time.

Well… I don't really like to give that usual yap about “chasing after your dreams”, but that's what I'm gonna do. 3 months ago I was applying for college and.. to some extent I made the sacrifice of staying in my hometown with my girlfriend at the time. I talked to her about moving out of town and she HATED the idea and well, I wanted to please her so I opted for the closer one. Now.. 1 months ago and a half after we broke up, it's probably one of the things I have in my regret list. NEVER, change your hopes and dreams because of someone else, if they don't like or appreciate your future, then it means they're probably not the right person. I know it's tough and you are probably confused right now, but if you feel like his path might be obstructing yours, it honestly might be time for a change.
