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.

100%, with EVERY setback and fall, I ended up being stronger. I'm not just saying this. It's true. Without each fall, I'd never come to the point of understanding anyone - not even you.

I no longer see the setbacks as evidence of my failure, but rather, a reminder of the strength I've developed in knowing how to get up again. @Rockdog

And yes, getting up was hard sometimes, and I needed help - but that's okay.

I certainly would NOT be the person I am today without all the pain I've endured.

Life is truly amazing. I never thought I'd be able to say this.

I used to cry and cry at my 'failed' life. Yet now I know all things work together for the best.

Sitting with you.

Thanks @tyme ,

I had a bad one, and yes just want to give up and cry. Will try to get back up, but last time I was i the same situation I had her support. Now I don’t and think the dream might be over now. Thanks for helping me keep the hope alive, but I am so far from being who I need to be that I think it might be dead.

Hey @Rockdog ,

Do you really think this? So there's no more hope?

Hi @tyme,

No I will never give up hope. I’m just feeling down. And my new doctor says she probably just had empathy and wanted to help you but that I might have misread the situation because I was clinging onto her. I do still believe it deep down in my heart, but my own sadness gets in the way. I shouldn’t be putting out the negative energy or maybe it will derail things. If she runs into me at the moment she would see a total mess. Why would someone so beautiful be interested in me? I didn’t misread things did I? I mean we both got into trouble so it wasn’t just me.

Precisely @Rockdog . Everyone knew about it. So it can't have been a misunderstanding.

Thanks @tyme ,

so hold on and it will happen?

Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Yes @Rockdog dear.

But you need to believe it too. You can't live off my beliefs... it has to be a reality to you.

Re: Dealing with heartbreak

Hi @tyme,

I know I’m a broken record but I do get lost and need reassurance because of the way things ended, and what other people say. I then think maybe she didn’t feel the same way. Then it wouldn’t matter what I think and it drives me crazy. I also sometimes get so down on myself that I can’t see anything in my life working out. I then sort of give up. It is really funny you just said it needs to be a reality to me, because I was just watching an inspirational speech by Steve Jobs today where he said you need to follow what is in your heart. As soon as he said it I felt it. Then you said that so maybe that is a sign. I know if I didn’t have her in my heart I would have let it go long ago. Anyway I hope you are well and i’m so greatful to have you on my side. Take care

@Rockdog ,

Fear causes us to behave in ways we normally wouldn't.

As I've said in the past, if I only spoke to you for 30 mins, I'd tell you to move on...but because I've heard so much more, it's just too true not to be. It can't be denied. Actions speak louder than words..

But yes, you must believe. No one else can do the believing for you.

Thanks @tyme,

i’m pretty sure with what happened to her now she has gotten into trouble as well. So that probably does explain it. It did hurt. You know the whole story and it is like I think so but then others doubt it. Let’s just don’t stop believing. I just need to improve. Take care
