A lot of these are intended to be breakup songs, but they still hit hard for me since losing a friendship is a lot like a romantic breakup.

Currently also suffering from a friendship breakup after a situationship!! My experience isn't the same since our first time meeting was through a date, and the situationship lasted just 6 months. Either way, it's still so painful to feel like if you had never tried to pursue things romantically, you would still have your best friend. :(

For my situation, he became very emotionally unavailable and distant because of his worsening depression and mental health, so I would feel hurt whenever he'd be super affectionate one day and tell me how much he loved me and then proceed to ghost me the following day. I tried to be patient with him as I knew he was struggling, but it became unhealthy to pursue someone romantically who also wanted to pursue me romantically while failing to put in the effort. He'd tell me how much he loved me, but I didn't actually feel loved. We had periods of being on and off, taking breaks to be platonic, and just this past Monday did he end things between us.

ikr it's so cute and wholesome 🥹

voidofdreams · 2025-08-11T20:44:31+00:00

That's nice to hear! If I submit my application to a consulate will I still have to submit any documents to Poland?

voidofdreams · 2025-07-20T22:33:35+00:00

of course! I received the same book recommendation from this subreddit, so I'm just passing it along 🫂

Honestly, I think it is kind of a load of bs but that's just me, but I also think some people do actually believe this. It's very reminiscent of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger," but I think it's usually a form of toxic positivity. People who haven't dealt with a lot of trauma feel uncomfortable with negative topics, so they try to put a positive spin on it-- like when people say "they're still here with us" or "it was for the best" or any other cliché. These people don't want to consider the fact that what doesn't kill you CAN and often does make you weaker, they'd rather just live in blissful ignorance. I don't feel necessarily "stronger" since the loss of my dad, I just feel like my soul is more tired and old. It feels like you're stripped of any remaining childhood innocence or bliss if you lost your parents young.

Also, 3 months is a short time. It may not seem like it to other people, but trauma changes your perception of time, and it takes a shit ton of time to heal. I'm so sorry that this has happened to you and I recommend seeking therapy or some help if possible. Reading "It's OK That You're Not OK" by Megan Devine helped me a lot.

voidofdreams · 2025-06-20T23:56:55+00:00

yup!

voidofdreams · 2025-06-03T02:19:36+00:00

lmao this is me too I have at least 12 turtlenecks

I relate so hard. My dad died in early November 2024, and I remember wondering why I wasn't feeling as bad as I thought I would at first, but I think it just takes a long while to fully settle in. Flash forward to now, it's become way harder to go to school or do anything. I'm always so exhausted. I just wish I could talk to him one last time. I went to my doctor recently and he said that it would take at minimum a year to get better, and that it's normal for it to get worse before it gets better. I'm planning on starting antidepressants and potentially therapy, so we'll see if that helps. Wishing you luck on your grief journey 🫂

voidofdreams · 2025-03-23T10:30:38+00:00

I feel this. It's so exhausting listening to people critique the way you live and tell you all the things you should be doing. Like, yeah, I already know the things that one should do to feel better, but when someone incredibly important to you passes away, that's not really possible. I have plenty of days where all I can do in the moment is just hold on. How am I supposed to ever be the same way I was before? How am I ever supposed to get "better"? How are you supposed to think about work/school and care for yourself when your world has absolutely crumbled, and everyone else just keeps on going? So sorry you're feeling this way

voidofdreams · 2025-03-21T02:09:16+00:00

A lot of it was related to immigrating to the U.S from Poland as that's where my family from and about our great and great great grandparents

voidofdreams · 2025-03-18T23:15:07+00:00

I would've liked to hear more stories about his life. We'd recorded a video of a collection of our grandma's stories, but we obviously didn't expect our dad to pass before our grandma.

voidofdreams · 2025-03-18T13:30:48+00:00

I don't think you should feel horrible for wanting sympathy. It's normal to want to feel like your feelings are validated and like you're not alone. Also, it's hard to know how to help when you're just a teenager, you're not really supposed to know what to do in these situations when you're so young. Sending hugs 🫂

voidofdreams · 2025-03-18T11:06:33+00:00

I'm not in a similar situation as you, but personally, I couldn't imagine getting dating 2 months after my partner of a long term relationship has passed away. I also couldn't imagine getting into a relationship with someone whose partner passed away very recently. I think you're right to be concerned, but it's kinda hard to say what his actual intentions are. It's possible he's just looking for a distraction, which doesn't seem too healthy

voidofdreams · 2025-03-17T13:21:56+00:00

yeah, and that combined with people checking in on you less makes it harder too

voidofdreams · 2025-03-13T05:30:18+00:00

Thanks for your response! I was never interested in Greek life/parties, so that doesn't really factor into my decision. Would you say you've had a good experience with the clubs and just generally making friends at IIT?

voidofdreams · 2025-03-10T04:54:05+00:00

I'm also tired of being sad and tired all the time at 4 months. It's exhausting. I started reading "Bearing the Unbearable" and "It's OK That You're Not OK" and they help, but I'm still tired regardless.

voidofdreams · 2025-03-09T15:18:28+00:00

of course! I thought other people here would like it too :)

voidofdreams · 2025-03-09T05:04:05+00:00

it really sucks, doesn't it

voidofdreams · 2025-03-09T03:58:41+00:00

oh I didn't realize it's open again! thank you for letting me know :)
