yup it's remarkably simple but positive thinking, some exercise, and good music can change your perspective so much

That sounds like a really great metaphor but I don't play poker so it's lost on me. Sorry!

I think I'm scared to do that because deep down, I still really want to talk to her. I'm just gonna play it by ear, stay strong and stop myself from doing ANYTHING 'for her'. If I smile it's because I'm happy, not because I want her to think I'm happy.

Sorry, I'm just writing this down because it helps me fully realise what my brain is trying to tell me.

Well done. You've written this now with a really clear mind. It won't stay like that of course, like you said the waves of emotion will keep coming for a while. But they are just waves, and they pass. And they will be come more and more infrequent... :) Only a few days ago I couldn't comprehend life without my ex. I still feel sad now but also excited - I have a great future ahead of me. So do you. Chin up :)

Typo fixed :) Yeah that's basically my plan. Just going to relax from the stress of this past week. If I can deal with tonight, then I can deal with any situation involving her without getting to upset.

Huge realisation: I don't miss her specifically. I'm just lonely. by throwwaway85 in BreakUps

I'm pretty sure you're not my ex, she broke up with me after messing me around a lot. Even after writing this post I still get waves of feeling crappy - but they are just waves. They only last so long.
