How long should i wait for closure after a breakup?

Author

If you dont mind please read my other post about my situation. I'm just wondering.. I need closure of some kind. I'm assuming they've broken up with me completely. So.. If thats the case then I'd like to write a letter not for them but for me to get my own closure.

but I'm not sure how long to wait till send or deliver said letter/note.

to be honest i thought of doing this too. i didn't end up doing it because i knew he would just ghost me as per usual. even if i framed it like me getting things off my chest, i knew nothing i wrote out would reach him...the textbook definition of hearing not listening.

bro imma tell you like this. in a month your brain will purge itself of all the happy chemicals you were having with the feelings. it will mellow out. (it happened to me now) but it still hurts but I will tell you that pain and sadness is still there. I still feel myself thinking of her and having some pain in my chest but I no longer feel sad. but I know I still love her but I dont know if I can accept her back. but I know people on here are harsh and I am willing to listen to you vent bro if you need it. but bro something I can say is get a journal and write it out even write out your feelings write what you love about them and then take them off their pedestal you put them on and write about what's wrong with them. write why it could never work. most of the time we grieve what we thought of for the future we as humans tend to find patterns and dream a lot and it tends to hurt us. you are doing good my friend idk what happened but im proud of you

do you want to send the letter because you truly need closure, or because a small part of you still hopes they’ll respond and change everything?
