Hey @unicornponypop9, thank you for sharing your experiences with the Forums!
Sounds like you are going through a tough time at the moment with your breakup. You are demonstrating your resilience by reaching out to your peers, as it's not easy to be vulnerable.
I have had my own challenging breakups in the past, so I can relate to how you are feeling at the moment. I'm curious about what you do to cope with how you are feeling about your ex-partner? I know from my own experiences that distraction worked well for me and finding things to take my mind off them.
I encourage to continue to reach out to the community and explore this with your peers!
Take care
RiverSeal

Hey @unicornponypop9 ,
Thank you for sharing. Seeing you broke up with your partner last July and you are still experiencing challenges related to the breakup, is it worth talking to a professional about it? They may be able to work on ways to move forward and look after yourself.
What are things you enjoy doing in your free time?
