5 years later: how i'm coping with the anniversary of a heartbreak

This week would have been our 5 year anniversary and I'm gonna be honest it's sending me spiraling.
I want so badly to check her socials but I know the only thing I'll find is something that's going to break me in ways I could never imagine.
I just miss having a person to do things with so much.

are you planning to do anything that day or are you just trying to get through it hour by hour right now?

I've got therapy and plan on spending the day with friends but for now it's going hour by hour.

don’t go looking for what you don’t want to find. you’ll just break your own heart. some days are going to be harder, especially around anniversaries. take the day to spoil yourself and focus on the positives in your life.

my ex and i had a 6 year anniversary date burned into my brain and when it came around the first time after the breakup i spiraled HARD. the silence on a day that used to mean everything… that part really hurts.
