Feeling lost after my breakup: seeking connection

Author

Hello, I prefer to remain anonymous. I'm from Colombia and I'm 22 years old.
I recently went through a breakup after a few years in a relationship. It's been difficult; I think about it a lot, I get depressed, nothing seems to make sense, and it irritates me to miss the person who has hurt me and continues to hurt me. I hope to find some relief or distraction by listening to others and being heard in return.

i get that stuck feeling, what helped me a bit was letting myself miss them without acting on it, like just sitting with it instead of texting or checking them

when you say nothing makes sense right now, is it more the loneliness or the way they treated you that keeps looping in your head

missing someone who kept hurting me too and feeling almost angry at myself for it. i used to think “why do i still want THIS?

Having to be the person that breaks it off because of how much they hurt is extremely saddening.

You still hold love for them and that's okay, but you have to realize that you deserve respect and kindness in return.

It will get easier

You're absolutely right. The truth is, since it's so recent, like with any loss or grief, I'm in denial, even though I know the decision I made was the best one. I'm still carrying the weight of everything that came with it.
