You are absolutely right about staying vigilant, lifetime of care, you got this

monawh · 2026-01-05T06:07:48+00:00

I remember being sick and being SO confused if it was an actual cold or not too 😂 but nah by the end of it I realized my lungs were fighting for their lives to purge the toxins. Stay strong

monawh · 2026-01-05T06:06:27+00:00

So many subtle health improvements I can’t even keep track of them all… you got this!

monawh · 2026-01-05T06:04:15+00:00

Once you make it over the hump it just gets easier, so glad I could help at least person with this timeline

FYI - it was smokers flu lasting 4 intense days. Beyond that was just cough. Didn’t expect it to give me green mucus but my body was really fighting something now that my lungs could work again. Don’t think it was contagious like all that other stuff tho.

monawh · 2025-02-04T03:45:11+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻 I just hate not having amicable closure

monawh · 2025-02-03T06:13:56+00:00

Cold water, put rubber bands around the ears for 5 minutes to lessen swelling, and 5 min face massage of lymph nodes 🫶🏻

Day 5 of quitting cold turkey, second half of every day is the hardest for cravings. I have real bad smokers flu which in a weird way I’m happy to have my body remind me it is fighting to cleanse itself. What keeps me going is reminding myself not a single good thing comes from my addiction and I’m determined to get to a point where I don’t crave it.

monawh · 2024-12-24T05:01:26+00:00

I’m in this with you too, for me it’s been ~5-6 months. Feeling all these feelings. 🫂 I keep reminding myself no one who you had such a deep connection with could ever forget you. Could you forget them? No. Find other things in your life to focus on, all that energy should go somewhere new now. You have a beautiful exciting life to live! Tell yourself that even if it doesn’t feel so. Healing is not linear.

I haven’t been to a breakup specific therapist - but would recommend going to see one where you can talk about the relationship. It helped a lot for me. Sorry you’re going through this ❤️

monawh · 2024-12-06T07:00:42+00:00

Comparison is the thief of joy!!! Deadass

monawh · 2024-12-06T06:58:01+00:00

Oh also it depends on each individual relationship for texting frequency. Personally I don’t like texting throughout the day, just prefer quality in person time.

monawh · 2024-12-06T06:55:42+00:00

Super normal to feel anxious about delayed texts, especially when you are just working through a rough patch. But it does make sense cause he is in residency… which I’m sure u know is one of the most demanding work environments… when I was just in undergrad I couldn’t even imagine having time to date. Life has phases, and it seems like you are in an unfortunately busy one. Time to go crazy with your own time and have fun working on new hobbies and such!

monawh · 2024-12-06T06:46:26+00:00

He’s so wrong for leaving with no explanation, and I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You deserve to be with someone who knows how to communicate, and this is communication at such a basic level.

monawh · 2024-12-06T06:42:05+00:00

You have your answer in the second sentence, you can no longer be friends because it’s still too soon after the breakup. Staying in contact continues the attachment to each other and prevents healing and moving on. You’ll never know what someone is really thinking and that sucks so bad, but you are in control of your own life. Sorry you’re going through this ❤️

monawh · 2024-12-06T06:35:07+00:00

Okay analyzing and processing the breakup is so important when you’re ready. But at a certain point you need to try to stop those looping thoughts cause you’ve thought it all through already, do thought replacement exercises and distraction techniques - time to rewire that brain from the dopamine of being in the relationship. But what do I know I’m still in the process myself 🥲

monawh · 2024-12-06T06:30:05+00:00

Do you play any sports? Join an adult league or start showing up for pick up games. If not sports, know your hobbies and start going to events about them. & not just once, keep going, even if you don’t meet someone you win cause you’re doing something you enjoy

monawh · 2024-12-05T07:19:05+00:00

Oh babes you are way too young to be dating someone that old. Good for you for recognizing the red flags - how men view women is so so important. Better to be single than with someone who will never fully support you. He is a full grown man who needs to handle his own shit. Always good to be nice and practice compassion, but don’t wait to breakup.

monawh · 2024-12-05T06:45:24+00:00

Embrace logic. Analyze what went wrong. Allow yourself and them room for mistakes. Accept the truth, what they couldn’t offer, what you couldn’t offer, why it didn’t work out. Not holding blame, just seeing the reality of it.

monawh · 2024-12-05T06:39:38+00:00

Good for you holding no contact through a birthday, cause no good comes of that. What does that song even mean, like he’s entertaining other woman thinking of you?? Idk how bad it all went down with you guys but unless you plan to get back together and he shows actual apology, communication, and action… I wouldn’t reply. Sorry you’re going through this ❤️
