My life has been turned on it’s head 🫠😭

My life has been turned on it’s head 🫠😭

Wow…

2 weeks post break up today

even tho I initiated it it was such a shock and I miss him

i feel so guilty for breaking his heart

he was a good guy and we ended on good terms which makes it harder

i partly feel like I’ve wasted the last 3 years on the relationship

im scared and nervous of the unknown and uncertainty

and I’m grieving deeply the loss of a vision of a shared life…

it sucks

and were officially no contact since Monday… til 1st Feb….

he wants to fight for me and wanted me to give him an answer if there was a chance after when we talk

i coukdnt really give him an answer

hes always been so certain about me I felt this pressure and anxiety and stress to have an immediate answer bc he wanted to get married

our convo 2 weeks ago started w me saying I can’t marry u…

god this sucks

im hoping it gets better..

To add another layer I’ve recently moved out from a very toxic / unhealthy home w my parents…

my house is a mess…

and I’ve recently returned from overseas and mourning the loss of that amazing season and friends

oh… and on top of that all, my grandma died!

no wonder I’m feeling the way I’m feeling! I’m trying to be more compassionate to myself and not critical and just allow myself to process and feel….

Hi @Oaktree and @Realness

thanks for thinking of me

yesterday was wayyyy better

today… so far ok. I guess healing and life isn’t linear but at least I’m making progress! And I want to celebrate progress not perfection

Hi @Fah ,

Just wanted there to be a message here waiting for you in case you need it.

No need to reply - only if it's helpful.

Re: My life has been turned on it’s head 🫠😭

hey @Fah, adjusting is never easy especially if big one like yours as first experiance

i saw @Oaktree tag i & @Realness i didnt get yours from earlier sorry i see it wasnt blue in your opost though which happened to me as well until i learned iys how you know notifications been sent.

Thank you @ oaktree & @realness for seeing good intent in my post to Fah as after sending it i had worried about speaking out of skool so was appreciated.

Your just lwanted a message here for fah to read post @realness is telling your care is genuine, you must be a nice soul i hope you know this.

being alones big adjustment @Fah harder for for first time but it has its positives it just takes time to learn something new. once you do though you wont remember how hard it is now.

inot knowing how to shop or cook i fund being single real hard at first,

for most parts like being single now though still cant cook & when i do feel idown remind nyself its a thought i found music is good to help me be sad if thats what i need for a bit and also help me get above it when sorrow is validated .

No one can say its always good same as people been together 30yrs wont say its always been good the key is to not let the sad times be so consuming that the good times @ opportunities go passed and get missed.

i reckon if your fur baby is house trained landlord will be fine however mental health for me unless i risked falls and things i wouldnt share personally, just me i maybe thimk is it necessary though and remember undiagnosed people experience same emotions after break ups so dont feel your struggles are from MH alone it can amplify them for sure with rumenation & catastrophic thinking and i do hope your ok and finding ways to make it work. radical acceptance is helpful once inderstood.

honestly being in a relationship for convenience is depriving you both of a life of love & replacing it with unnecessary heartache instead this i is a certainty unless done transparently.

what type of dog do you have? my best mates a long haired chiuaua. wasnt a choice thing just happened & now hes my rock.

sometimes we take people for granted and its in thier absence we realise.

the ol dunno what you got till its gone

make sure to know what your intentions are so you can make clear boundaries if you contact other person especially if their feelings are still strong

its ok to not love them, you dont want to destroy them either so if theres no hope let them know at the start, wjho knows could be a better situation for you if its done with insight and communication.

know your not alone even when brain wants ypiu to feel you are i there are people on here that care from understanding

hope your finding more good days and dont miss realness thoughtful message

Re: My life has been turned on it’s head 🫠😭

Thanks @Oaktree @Realness @REDLINEZ750

Saw my therapist for the first time since the breakup
She seemed surprised I’ve moved on so quickly (by prioritising friendships)

I do need to allow myself to grieve and process this relationship. But I’m tempted to sweep it under the rug, therapist said not to do that …

I’m feeling a lotttt better lately. Mentally and emotionally

Grateful for the support here 💛

@Oaktree @Realness@REDLINEZ750

honestly I just want to have sex or hookup. But I know I’ll regret it

there’s so many guys on reddit and stuff that wouldn’t want to hook up… but also guys I could just cuddle with… I’m tempted to reach out to a loooong lost ex lol for a cuddle but he ain’t shit

just being real. But probs won’t act on it cus it’s not healthy for me

Hi @Fah

So good to hear you're feeling much better and been able to prioritise friendships. Sounds like you impressed your therapist. Your strength and honesty shining through - the same strength and honesty that led to your decision.

Welcome @REDLINEZ750 , @Oaktree - thanks for your posts. Especially you @REDLINEZ750 - your posts are real.

Re: My life has been turned on it’s head 🫠😭

i can only speak for myself and every other bloke i know when i say the reality is even the best intentions go out the window 9 outta 10 times in a long hug situation @Fah but you know what dont sell yourself short and dont fall for a player when your single your the female your in charge mate.

Reddit i didnt know it was dating thing please make sure someone knows where your going and who with if thats the path you take after thinking about it,

people lie online and they can have bad intebtions behind all the right words.

its so good reading your having thoughts of what next not getting held still by shackles of yesterday.

therapist is always best person to listen too 😊

thank you for your responses @Realness @Fah @Oaktree

i saw your tag @Fah and hoped i wasnt misunderstood 😊
