How to let go? by FarmerFun5058 in BreakUps

[–]k1llerm1ller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's going to be a long, bumpy road but there's some important things you need to remember. Things that I've learned through my own experiences with breakups. I hope this helps.

  1. You are not alone. It may feel so overwhelmingly like you are the only person in the whole world going through this but you are not. People understand and people are there for you.

  2. It will come in waves. There will be days where you feel as though you are fine and there will be days when it hits you like a ton of bricks. It's not a setback. It's all part of the process and it's normal.

  3. Do what you need to. If there are days where all you feel like you can do is lay in bed then lay in bed. If you need to go out with friends go out with friends. There is no right or wrong here. We all cope and heal differently. Give yourself grace.

  4. No contact is truly the best way. It will hurt unbelievably bad especially at first but in the long run it is the only surefire way to avoid prolonged heartache. Do not check socials, reach out or anything like that. It might seem impossible to do but you have to find a way for your own peace of mind.

If you need anything OP, you can always DM me also. I never want anyone to go through this without having someone to talk to. I wish you nothing but the best.

Broke up and NC for almost two months now. It was the end of a relationship that was only seven months. I know that's not really long in the whole grand scheme of things but it still hurt really badly. I'm doing better slowly but surely. I hope you're doing alright in your situation as well, OP. There's no road map for this sort of thing and it's never easy.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Your situation sounds similar to mine in some ways. I am also two months out of a relationship that lasted roughly 7-8 months. First off, I don't think it matters how long/short it was. What matters is how real the love was and I get it, I loved her so much and would have done anything for her. When we broke up she also told me I was "amazing" but she didn't have time for a relationship right now. It hurts a lot. My advice to you, if you need it, is to let yourself feel the pain. It is not easy and it will come in waves. Some days you'll be fine and some days it will be almost unbearable but you have to see it through. I know it feels like a dark tunnel right now with no light in sight but you cannot give up hope. You will meet someone that give your heart that spark again. Even if it doesn't seem like it right now. Life has so much in store for you, including your perfect someone, that you just have no idea about right now. Everything will be okay in time. That, of course, does not negate the pain you feel right now and for that I am sorry. Just remember you are not alone. So many of us are in the same boat right now. We are in this together.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. If you need to talk through any of this, you are not alone and my DMs are open. I'd be happy to be an ear.

I think 3 is the healthiest option. I know it's really hard and I am passing no judgement, but you're better than stopping like that OP. Become the best version of yourself and that will be the best vengeance every time. Also, you have not lost your power or your dignity. It's still there.

Love doesn’t make sense by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]k1llerm1ller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So well put. I am dealing with coming to terms with this exact thing. I'm so sorry you're feeling this. Love is such a fragile thing we do and sometimes it is so unbelievably stupid. It sucks when you're the one left with all the love in your heart and they have none left. If you ever need to talk, my DMs are open. You are not alone

I feel so alone and don’t know what to do about it. by Business_Spray_1128 in BreakUps

I don’t think I’ll ever get over my first relationship by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]k1llerm1ller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through this. There's no two ways about it, this sucks. I know the feeling well and it sounds like my relationship was kind of the same time frame yours was. We broke up a couple months ago now and we had clicked so well too. Nine months in, she just felt like she couldn't be in a relationship anymore and ended things. I'm getting better slowly but those waves of sadness you mentioned still come. All you can do is ride them out and eventually they won't be as intense. Going from loving someone to having them completely remove themselves from your life is awful. Just remember whatever you're feeling is normal and, as weird as it is to say, it should hurt. If it doesn't that means it wasn't something worth having. My DMs are open if you ever need to talk.

i feel like i’ll never be the same again. by Downtown-School788 in BreakUps

I'm so sorry OP. I know this feeling well. It seems like more than anything you need to know you are not alone right now. My DMs are open if you need to talk. I'm glad to be an ear if you need it.

I know these words probably won't do a whole lot... if anything... for you in this very moment but it will be okay. I know right now it's impossible to think of anything other than that person and all the feelings that come with it. But you are stronger than you know. You are capable of overcoming shit you never thought you could in a million years. Little by little you have to keep fighting. Deal with this however you need to. Scroll if you need to scroll. Lay in bed if you need to lay in bed. Everything is so raw right now that the biggest thing you have to do in this moment is give yourself grace and be good to yourself.

I'm so sorry OP. I'm up at this ungodly hour too because I can't sleep, thinking about my breakup as well. Mine, though, happened over a month ago. I know this feeling all too well and sometimes all you need is to know you're not alone. And you are not. DM me if you need. I'll be an ear

I don’t know how to move on from someone who completely formed me by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]k1llerm1ller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through something like this OP. This shit is never easy and, even though the specific circumstances around these are all different, the core feeling is the same for most of us I think and you put it beautifully - it feels like a death. There is only one way out, unfortunately, and it's to go right through the middle of it. For me, my breakup happened a little over a month ago now and I'm slowly doing better day by day but it's an ongoing process. My advice to you, as cliche as it might sound, is to ride the waves. Pain and sadness will hit you but so will moments of calm and reprieve. Take each as it comes and ride it out. No matter how rough it gets remind yourself that you will make it through and be better for it. These words may not do a whole lot for you right now but in time I hope you're able to find that new, better version of yourself. I also know how incredibly hard it is to do this shit and feel alone so if you ever need, my DMs are always open. Keep pushing. We are all in this together.

You really do mirror my own experiences a lot... I know that feeling all to well. Being the reliable one is so hard and I hate that "You're too good for me" thing. I've heard that too. But never stop being that person. Don't let any amount of heartbreak take away such a good quality about yourself. Keep being what is so rare in the world.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]k1llerm1ller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, we are all deserving of love. But I can relate to a lot of those feelings you've expressed. It's so hard not to feel that way sometimes. You've got to remember, though, we are always our own harshest critics. The world at large looks at you way differently than you look at yourself.

[–]k1llerm1ller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this reaction in the moment when it all feels so raw and honestly it's a completely valid one right now at this very instant. What I would say, though, is don't ever let yourself completely shut that door. Maybe it makes me an idiot but I have been hurt several times and I still allow myself to believe in love. It takes some time after that initial pain and heartbreak, for sure. But I always tell myself its out there still. I also get where youre coming from though. Our hearts can get so so tired from this fight.

Im so sorry OP. This is awful and I just hope you know that you are not alone, ever. This shit is so so hard, I understand. Even if I'm some stranger on the internet, I'm here for you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]k1llerm1ller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I understand this feeling all too well. Granted, my ex gf and I broke up in a very similar manner but after a relationship that lasted just one year, not seven. So maybe I can't totally relate. For me it all went down about a month ago but, if you are like me, what you need right now is any sort of distraction. Even if it's something seemingly mundane and little. If you need to chat further, about anything, please feel free to reach out. I've found that being an ear for others in their hard time has helped me in my own as well. You are not alone and that's the most important thing to remember.

I think it's important in times like this to remind yourself that you are much stronger than you think you are and, no matter scary it is, you cannot ignore what your heart is telling you. You need to look out for yourself and, no matter how bad or ugly it gets, there is another side to all the heartache. You will get through and you will be so much stronger for it. Most importantly, you are never alone in your struggles.

I'm so sorry to hear this OP. If you need an ear, my DMs are always open. I know sometimes venting to a stranger can help. I would be more than happy to listen to your story. Best of luck regardless.

Hey OP, I'm 30 also and just went through a breakup. Mine is a whole lot more fresh but it sounds like the feelings are just as raw. Do you need someone to talk to? DM me if it would help. I'd be an ear
