Why are nights so hard after a breakup?

Author

Nights are the worst because when everything is quiet and still I'd usually talk and cuddle him even though we'd be on call to each other. I felt that closeness with him and I'm really missing that. I wish I had someone to talk to about random things in my day or share thoughts about anything. It feels so strange to talk to myself aloud so I don't really do that. At some points I just feel stuck in time trying to find ways to keep myself busy but I just become bored eventually. I just really don't know anymore.

i know this sounds small, but i stopped forcing myself to “stay busy” all the time because it just made me feel more exhausted and empty.

the nighttime silence after a breakup is BRUTAL. i used to fall asleep on call with my ex too, and when that suddenly disappeared it felt like my whole body noticed before my brain did. even dumb little things during the day felt lonely because he was the person i’d normally tell first

I completely understand that. I wait until my family goes to bed for the night and then I just stay up for hours crying and almost texting her. It feels like time stops at night and im just stuck remembering. if you need a friend to talk to, like guenuinly just hmu. I dont really have friends so I know how it feels to have no one to talk to.

you matter :)

I get the need of staying in the habit, for me finding a friend that I could share things I would usually share with my partner helped
