No contact is hard at first, I won’t lie.
I cried, I missed her, I kept wanting to check.
But every time I didn’t act on it, I felt a little stronger.
I realized it’s not about forgetting someone overnight.
It’s about choosing yourself, even when it hurts.
This is not short-term relief.
This is long-term healing.
I’m still in the process, but I know now—
no contact really works.

it’s been 9 days since I last contacted him which he made clear that it is done done. I am trying my hardest to accept it but he was my person so I don’t know how to.
sticking to no contact was the only thing that stopped me from reopening the wound over and over. it wasn’t pretty, i still cried a lot, but it gave me space to finally breathe without her in everything.
I feel the same.
i’m proud of you
thank you, no contact really helps
thanks for this
what was the moment where you almost broke no contact but didn’t?
I'm trying, but it's hard.
those first days of no contact felt like withdrawal for me, i kept reaching for my phone like muscle memory. every time i didn’t text, it hurt but also felt like i got a tiny piece of myself back.
Yeah, that's true, I feel exactly the same way—longing, sadness... It's normal in this situation, so I try to be patient with myself throughout the process and not be too hard on myself.
The lack of contact is hard but necessary to get back on track. It helps me to focus on positive things, even if it’s just a walk or reading five pages of a book... Everything will be okay; it just takes time and work on myself.
