Why breaking up feels like a withdrawal

when the urge hits you hardest, what do you usually find yourself doing to cope with it?
i usually get sad and can feel myself wanting to message him….I’ve started doing devotions, making a beaded plant or just going outside
i used to say the same thing, it really felt like coming off something addictive, like my body kept craving someone who wasn’t good for me. those first days were the hardest but you realizing your strength right now is HUGE
same here! getting better every day!
Yes that exactly right...a day at a time.
One day at a time for sure! Everyone keep the faith. we got this!!!
You are so strong! I felt the same way when I left my ex 2 years ago. I had tried to leave countless times for years before that but kept going back. It really did feel like pure addiction. I'm proud of you!
I'm 7 hours with no contact from my partner of 7 years . he's a covert narcissist . he was the first love of my life and he literally abused me every single way somebody could abuse somebody . your post says exactly how I'm feeling . i don't know your situation but i can relate to your statement
I understand how you are feeling
I was with a much younger man for 6 years…20 year difference. 3 weeks ago he texted me saying his stuff was packed and he was leaving. I was devastated. I begged pleaded cried begging him to stay. He is a trauma bond for me. He continually belittled me told me I was dumb and then I wore a helmet. I’m smart enough to know him leaving was the best thing for me. I’d do anything to have him back…how ridiculous is that!!!
I want this poison to leave me
