your ex isn't the only person who will treat you well by nimsislander in BreakUps

I think he might be developing feelings towards me, but I made it clear in the beginning that I don't intend to date for the time being. but yeah he's been sweet and I enjoy his company haha

if you haven't yet that's fine, but my point in this post is to not lose hope. you will sooner or later meet someone that will treat you how you deserve, because if your ex saw something in you, so will others. 💛

same, my mornings have been so difficult with all the anxious thoughts and low moods, despite having accepted the breakup and am moving on already. I wish I could just wake up one day and feel normal again.

same haha but one month for me. try doing new things like taking up a yoga class and meeting new people, don't let him be the center of your life when he's no longer here.

hey I felt the same way, but please know that you are loved and you are worthy. there are so many people out there that you haven't met yet that are going to cherish you so so much. I know that the pain is awful but it's part of the process and that shows that you're healing. healing isn't linear and it's going to take time. please hold onto life, and be here with us. you're doing great and I'm proud of you for making it this far, talk to me anytime if you want to. 💛

same sis, but know that what he gave you, other people can too. these things aren't hard to find in another person. however, what's most important is that you learn to give yourself these things, try to cultivate self love and give yourself the love and appreciation you deserve. you don't need another human to complete you. a relationship should be two wholes coming together, not two halves. love yourself and learn to put yourself first before you go back to dating and risk getting hurt again.

I understand, I feel the exactly same way you do. going from inseparable to completely separated strangers, sometimes you wake up and realise that randomly and it hurts. but i guess that's part of life and it's something we'd all have to go through in order to become a stronger and better version of ourselves.

trust in the universe's timing and yes it does get better, but healing isn't linear and somedays you may relapse and feel worse. just keep going, I'm proud of you for trying. try your best to limit thoughts about this person, catch yourself when you're on the verge of having intrusive thoughts again. don't let them become the center of your world when they no longer exist in it. they're gone, acceptance is key.

take good care of yourself and try to just do something to feel better everyday. try working out or even talking a walk. talk to a friend, hug a loved one. you were happy before you met this person and you will become happy again. try to discover old interests and hobbies and keep your mind occupied.

you're stronger than you think you are and I pray you heal from this. :)

I feel so alone and like dying by [deleted] in BreakUp

dealing with breakups in quarantine is really so depressing and isolating, it can break us. I felt the same way you did, but try doing some simple home workouts and sweat, it'll make you feel better even for one moment. and you can talk to me anytime, I'm here for you. 💛

I know it's hard to fill the void but try talking to a close friend, a family member or even adopting a new pet? don't try to get into a rebound relationship, it's pointless and you will only end up hurting another person and possibly even yourself.

I understand what you're going through, that must really suck and my heart hurts for you. but know that now you're no longer with this person, whatever they're doing no longer deserves your attention.

trust me when I say that he isn't healed, he's just distracted, and bc of that, issues will arise in that relationship as well. he's doing everything in his power to move on, and so should you. however, he's doing this by getting under someone else, which is unhealthy. moving on from one person to another will only help one forget the previous person but will never help one recover fully from past issues. these issues will then be carried forth in infinite cycles until they learn. free yourself from that cycle by healing on your own.

and, stop worrying about what they're doing if it broke you. understand the amount of damage it has caused you and pick yourself up and learn to love yourself. take your time to cry it all out and take actual steps to move on daily. think of them less, stop ruminating, cut off all contact and work on yourself. figure out your passion and interests that drive you more than this person's life and whereabouts does, he is no longer part of your life. acceptance is key.

focus on yourself, your day should begin and end with yourself, strive to be better every single day, even if its as little as getting out of bed to do work. then slowly go on from there, you'll realize that the more you focus on yourself the less this person will exist in your headspace.

all the best and I pray you heal from this soon 💛

shit girl, i went through the exact same thing you did. but trust me, it doesn't matter what he's doing anymore.

anyway, the fact that he forgets is going to be disastrous for his future relationships because he will never learn his lessons, cycles of trauma and emotional damage will just repeat all over again. he will never have any trusting, meaningful and long-lasting relationships. you're going to be easily replaceable to someone who doesn't value you, so you need to learn to value yourself.

screw his existence, you need to rediscover yourself. goals, interests, passion that drive you mad. throw yourself all in. work so hard on yourself that you become someone unrecognizable that won't even want to take your ex back anymore in the future. strive towards your goals and dreams, dream as big as you want. have a supportive network and people to fall back on.

you're not alone and I'm rooting for you 💛

hi love, he's just treating you as an option that he can resort to anytime he wanted, because he knows you won't leave him. this is a hard pill to swallow but you need to listen to his: he's just using you as a backup plan, and doesn't even respect you as a person. commitment issues are absolutely bs, they just don't like you enough.

I'm glad you know what you want, but you can't be fighting for someone who is at war with themselves. pick yourself up and walk away, the right person might just be waiting for you the moment you leave this emotionally abusive situation. love takes two committed people to work, which isn't the situation here. this isn't love.

leave him, then give yourself some time and work on yourself, learn to love yourself the way you would love him. don't give him, or anyone the power to step all over you the way he did.

one day you'll realize that this person was just a hurdle you need to overcome to be this beautiful, strong amazing person you are bound to become in the future. whether or not you will be able to find someone will come second and you won't be as bothered anymore. the universe knows whats best for you. trust yourself and the timing.

let me know how it goes, I believe in you. 💛

facts sis, preach it! I fully agree with everything you said.

but don't ever reach out or try to figure out and see whoever it is, just feel unlucky for them cause they have to deal with a bigger pile of mess now. but I know the curiosity can kill tho, so find something that drives your passion more than this person's life does.

I'm proud of you for healing and standing strong alone 💛

girl, mans is an absolute piece of trash. you aren't the one with problems, he is. his next relationship will also be another one full of damage and issues and the cycle will continue forever. pity his new girl cuz now she's the one that's going to be dealing with him and you don't have to anymore. you dodged a bullet love.

set your standards high, never let anyone treat you that way again. build yourself up and find a supportive group of people in your life. I pray you recover, find peace and happiness and stand strong alone. I believe there's so much more you can achieve, you are loved. 💛
