Dealing with heartbreak

Dealing with heartbreak

It has been a year since I lost a person in my life who meant a lot to me.

Over the course of 2 years I developed strong feelings for someone, whom I felt I had a real emotional connection with. I was struggling with life, and they really cared for me and helped brighten my mood. I developed feelings for them, and wanted to prove I was worthy, and not a waste of time. I thought my feelings didn’t exist anymore, but their caring manner and a bright smile gave me a warm feeling, and I started to feel better and more confident in myself. Then they suddenly left me, and I question my feelings and if they were real. I have missed her every day for a year, and the thoughts that she didn’t feel for me really hurts. I have been in a dark place, and now realise I need to find myself. The fact that I now feel such pain is really hard to deal with though and I can’t get over it.

Lol, I contacted the person last night and said I'm not going to go see Jonah.. not now. @Rockdog . Maybe in the future. I think I need to psych myself up to go there.

Yes, it'll be a nice experience, but I'm not sure I'm ready to live in that environment... I think I need to focus on managing better camping first, before I go and live in a village who live off the land... I wouldn't even know how to survive!

Hi @tyme

I don’t know much about Tonga. Is it living off the land? That is fair enough. I wouldn’t want to do that either. I thought it was just a nice tropical island like Fiji.

I was thinking hotels. Lol. Maybe down the track. I joked that one when things worked out we were running off to Jamaica. You will make our tropical wedding?

Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Even if I was in Tonga, there's no point just staying in the hotel. I'd want to see what life is for them. But at this stage, I don't think i'm ready for 95% humidity day in and day out... @Rockdog

I'm such a princess lol....

Speaking of Jonah, my brother-in-law went in the water at the beach. His 3 year old was crying and screaming from the shore that she didn't want her dad in the water. When I asked why, she said she didn't want a whale to swallow him like Jonah lol (the Bible Story)...

Kids are funny.

So with work, what are you doing now?

Hi @tyme

that is so cute, and really lovely. Those are heartwarming moments as a dad.

I am not doing anything just yet. One of the guys from work said he could get me an interview at another office. It would be doing the same thing, but will see if I can do that for a while because the the counselling course doesn’t start until July. I wouldn’t do as many hours as I was though.

Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Would you really want to do that? @Rockdog Go back into the same ****?

This was your opportunity out!

Did you finish that law degree? Is there anything you can do along those lines?

In response to: Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Hi @tyme

you are right. It was my way out and I hated it. I still need to finish off my law studies. I am planning to do that as well.

I also was considering buying a lawn mowing round. It is just a big investment, and I would need to buy a ute. Not sure what you think, but it would be drifting off track from my plans.
It is a pretty stressful time because I don’t want to go backwards.

Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Hi @tyme

I won’t be going back into the work I just escaped. I will be moving forward. Just don’t know what. I’m pretty worried.
Things will work out though right?

In response to: Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Agreed @Rockdog .

Don't go backwards.

There's no reverse gear in this matter.

You're out of it for a reason....

Things are moving ahead. Another counselling course is through AIPC

https://www.aipc.net.au/

It's fully online.

Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Hi @tyme,

thank you for the link. I will check it out.


Things are moving forward for a reason.

Hopefully for things to work out.


I am still so far behind someone so rich

and successful. This feels stressful at

the moment, but you do think it will work

out? I know I ask all the time, but having

your encouragement always helps get

me through these tough times when I

lose all my confidence. I always hang

out for your messages. Thank you .

Hope everything is going well with you?

Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Rich @Rockdog ? I don't think she'd be rich lol...

Maybe 'successful' in the eyes of the world, but I don't think she's satisfied with life.

Just keep pressing on and going forward.
