- I actually went to our parish priest for healing counseling 2 weeks ago. It helped a lot.
- I'm on my 2nd novena to pray for my ex's mental health. (I really couldn't do anything regarding him but to just focus on myself and only pray for him.) I've just started also a novena for my own mental wellness.

praying for my ex every single night even after we ended because loving someone doesn’t just switch off overnight. sometimes prayer was the only thing that made me feel less helpless
i think focusing on your own mental wellness too is HUGE. i spent so long only worrying about whether my ex was okay that i completely ignored how badly i was hurting. the moment i started putting even a little of that care back into myself, something slowly shifted.
when you pray for him now, does it still feel tied to hope that you’ll find your way back to each other someday, or is it starting to feel more like love from a distance?
I'm not hoping to get back anymore with him. it's just for him to realize that he needs to start his own pathness to wellness (praying for this sincerely tho I won't be there anymore to witness that if it happens)
