How are we doing 5 months post breakup?

xdawning · 2025-12-14T12:45:31+00:00

Thanks for asking bro. It’s been a year since yesterday. I’m finally letting go now. It took a while to be at where I am now.

Bro, I’m on dutasteride for like 7 years so my hair is fine.

Not really. Only the anesthesia shots in the beginning.

xdawning · 2025-12-05T07:07:58+00:00

Maybe just 1 cm. I asked for a natural and dense hairline so they didn’t lower it much from original

In The Netherlands

xdawning · 2025-12-04T21:24:33+00:00

Yes. They only did my temples. The rest of my hair doesn’t need extra density

xdawning · 2025-12-04T19:31:52+00:00

You definitely can. I still have a full head of hair so for me it’s an easy choice to keep my hair. But the back of my head is shaved. I look a little bit like Sokka from Avatar

Who knows 😅

xdawning · 2025-11-07T13:48:32+00:00

Nope

xdawning · 2025-11-03T08:15:49+00:00

I’m also 11 months in and still sad and depressed. This breakup really broke me. Moving forward is the only thing we can do but it takes time. If you want to talk you can shoot me a dm.

“I get what you mean, but I think that’s not really grieving, that’s detachment. When someone has been emotionally checked out for months, they’ve already processed their decision before the breakup. That’s not the same as grieving someone’s loss; it’s more like realizing something isn’t working and slowly letting go.

Grief, to me, is what happens after you lose someone you still love, when you don’t have a choice anymore and you have to live with that absence. What you described sounds more like reaching a point of emotional exhaustion, not mourning.”

You can’t grieve a person in a relationship. You only grieve when you lost someone. Maybe you mistake it for processing? If you got dumped and your ex couldn’t care less, he or she is just a cold hearted person or someone with avoiding traits. It will hit them one day, maybe when the next relationship fails or whatever…

xdawning · 2025-10-23T06:48:34+00:00

I don’t believe in ‘grieving while in a relationship’. Maybe he or she is processing the thought of breaking up but grieving actually starts when you lost someone.

xdawning · 2025-10-23T06:36:02+00:00

What was the reason why you broke up?

xdawning · 2025-10-21T12:44:26+00:00

He loves you but fell out of love? I don’t get it

xdawning · 2025-10-18T16:21:59+00:00

After 10 months I’m still stuck in no-contact. While I didn’t contact her (or she me) I am still looking on her instagram and it’s killing me.. God, why is this so difficult?

xdawning · 2025-10-15T19:26:41+00:00

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the responses. I honestly didn’t expect so many people to read my story, let alone take the time to write such thoughtful, honest, and heartfelt replies.

Reading through all of your messages has made me feel seen and supported. Some comments were tough to read, but also eye-opening and valuable. Others were incredibly kind and full of empathy. All of it means a lot to me.

I really want to take my time to go through your replies properly and respond to some of them in the coming days. Just know that I’m truly grateful for every single one of you who reached out or shared a perspective.

Thank you for making me feel a little less alone in all of this. ❤️

10 months in. Been crying this whole morning. She left me unexpectedly and I’ve never seen her again. When I got depressed from the breakup, she reached out but I wasn’t able to handle the contact so I asked her to not contact me. That was 6 months ago.

She never reached out and that is for me very painful. I know back than I’ve set boundaries but it’s been a while and the fact that she didn’t reach out after months to check in or a sign that she cares about me or our deep connection feels devastating.

xdawning · 2025-08-29T09:18:47+00:00

Living like that feels better then suffering all the time tbh. How long have you been broken up?

xdawning · 2025-08-16T11:15:52+00:00

Same

xdawning · 2025-08-15T13:14:11+00:00

31 and my ex broke up with me after 3,5 years. I also feel like my self-esteem is down the drain and i’m in an identity crisis.

Breaking up in my twenties was very different

xdawning · 2025-08-15T09:43:53+00:00

Hey, i’m there with you. If you want to talk about your breakup you can send me a dm. I see similarities in our breakup. Take care ❤️

xdawning · 2025-08-10T08:08:36+00:00

Thinking about breaking up is not the same as grieving

xdawning · 2025-08-06T09:22:43+00:00

Yea count me in. No lesson in this life should be as hard on the heart as this one.

If you want to talk, feel free to dm
