I almost broke no contact last night. a man approached me at my house late at night when I was trying to get out of my car. I was so scared I screamed at him because I was terrified. all I wanted to do was text them. They were the one person who made me feel safe. I didn’t text them but I really wanted to because they were my home. I don’t even know how I am going to do this without them

i’m glad you didn’t text in the middle of that fear, even though i KNOW how hard that was.
good job! reward yourself for being able to resist the urge to reach out, that is a win! each day you will get stronger. be kind to yourself
when something scary happens and your brain still goes straight to them, it makes the breakup feel fresh all over again. do you feel like you had other people you could lean on before the relationship too or did they become your whole safe place
after my breakup i had a panic attack in a parking lot and my first instinct was still him because he used to calm me down. losing the person who felt like safety is its own kind of grief
