I did it! I remember when going a day was more that I could do. Going not contact was the best decision I could have made for my mental health at this time. Does it still suck? Absolutely! Every day. But you know what? I'm getting a real chance to be with myself. To feel my feelings. it's hard as fuck but I'm worth weathering difficult things!

this made me smile a little because i remember celebrating my first full week of no contact like i’d climbed a mountain 😭 i used to check my phone every 5 minutes and now i can actually sit with myself without panicking.
I love this so much. I definitely relate. It was soooo hard at first, but i feel like this is the first time in my adult life that I'm really just being with myself without just jumping from one relationship to the next it feels good to get through the hard moments and realize is still haven't abandoned myself for the sweet distraction of that new relationship energy high. It's nice to remember that I like myself and that I'm pretty cool to be around.
staying no contact long enough to hear my own thoughts again changed everything for me. the pain was still there, but i stopped abandoning myself just because someone else did.
"I stopped abandoning myself just because someone else did" fuck yes
i’m proud of you for real. are there moments now where you catch yourself feeling peaceful for a second and realize you haven’t thought about them the entire time?
There are! Last week was really hard, I was really depressed but I feel like I'm learning to accept myself more wherever I'm at and slowly I'm pulling myself out of the depression and I think it's helping me to learn that I don't need someone else to validate me. I can be with my highs and lows and love myself through it
im proud of you!
thank you!
good for you!
thanks!
