It's been 8 months and i'm still grieving him

Author

we broke up for good about 8 months ago and i still don’t know how to move on. i keep wanting closure but i also know if i talk to him again i’ll probably get pulled right back in. i can’t seem to accept a future without him.
i feel like i’m grieving everything what we had what we were going to be even who i used to be. i feel like a shell of myself.
the depression has been really heavy. i’m in therapy and i know i’ve made progress but there isn’t a single day i don’t think about him or cry. honestly this breakup has been harder on me than my marriage ending.

i had to stop chasing closure because it kept reopening everything. staying no contact was the only thing that slowly gave me space to breathe again, even when it felt unbearable at first

hi do you feel like it’s him you miss, or the life and version of you that existed when you were with him?

my breakup wrecked me harder than anything before, even stuff that should’ve been “bigger.” i feeling like a ghost of myself too, like i left parts of me behind with him
