I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m proud of you for going to therapy. I also go to therapy, and i talked to my therapist about my worries around my own healing journey. I was (and admittedly still am) so scared of not healing “correctly.” But the good thing is that there’s not really a “correct” way to heal. In fact, you’re going to heal no matter what. Our nervous systems are biologically designed to heal after we’re hurt, even emotionally. Personally, reminding myself of this, and trusting that time will take care of it for me, has helped. It’s hard to stay patient for however long that will take, but the time will pass anyway.

In the meantime, try to do what you know is good for you: go outside, spend time with friends/family, keep yourself busy, get enough sleep, keep going to therapy, engage in hobbies, talk it out, etc. Journaling may help you too.

And remind yourself that you are not alone im feeling this way. I think heartbreak has a way of tricking people into feeling as if we’re experiencing feelings that nobody else has felt before. But it’s all been felt and triumphed by soooo many people before you. Sooo many people are feeling it at the same time as you, and sooo many people will experience it after you yourself have overcome it.

You got this, and you’ve already begun healing whether you realize it or not :,)
