The struggle of going no contact after a breakup

Author

Yesterday was really hard. I cried and cried, my stomach was upset. Even to cool down while showering my emotions have piled up and I burst into crying. And I accidentally touch another gadget, and my hand just moved. My mind is kept wondering and kept asking for a relief. I stumbled upon her profile on TikTok, blocked from my brothers account. Thanks God that I blocked it, when I dediced to go No contact for me to heal and to move on. Only her profile is what I saw yesterday and I stop midway, I stop to go deep to check her profile. The fear crept in within me. The thoughts of maybe she is doing fine without me and with someone new. So I stop myself to open the wound again. And restart my No contact again. I hope this time I am strong to fight this urges and waves. I am not suppressing my emotions not to come out. I am only fighting the urges and waves. I am still healing the right way.

when you paused and pulled back from her profile, what did you feel more… fear of what you’d see or fear of losing her for real

i was treating those urges like waves, i didn’t fight the feeling but i refused the action. every time i didn’t check, i felt a tiny bit stronger.

Same here, even if still In love with her, I choose not to act. Controlling this urges and waves are part of healing. Even if it's so hard not see her, not to talk to her. For me , I am just scared of what I might see. I am not ready, I am still accepting it.

that moment you almost look and your whole body panics like you already know it’ll hurt. i used to spiral every time i checked, so the fact you STOPPED mid way… that’s not small.

so I am choosing my peace because I stopped myself ? I am still scared to see her happy and be with someone else, so instead of checking deeper , I stopped. I still want her but my heart and mind made me stop. I want to heal in a right they when I want to love again , I want to do it right. I mean I really gave a lot. Loving a fearful avoidant one is hard. So now I need to get out of the cycle I never created, I stepped myself on her pattern and cycle. I need to get myself out. So every small detail I saw about her , I need to restart my No contact. I was lucky that she is blocked, if not I may saw that make me spiral and will re open the wound.
