My girlfriend and I broke up 3.5 months ago after being together for 2.5 years and honestly the pain feels heavier with each passing week.
The hardest part is knowing I played a big role in losing her. I took her for granted made mistakes and hurt someone who genuinely loved me. She was my first real love the first person who made me feel truly seen and cared for. I'd been in relationships before but nothing compared to what we had.
I grew up with a lot of emotional baggage. My mom left when I was very young my home life was unstable I never had a close relationship with my dad and people I trusted often disappeared from my life. Over time I got used to being alone. Then she came along and showed me a kind of love I had never experienced before.
And I let it slip away.
Since the breakup I've hit some very dark places. There was a point where I didn't want to keep going. Thankfully I'm still here and I've been trying hard to change. I started therapy I run in the mornings go to the gym in the evenings try to socialize meet new people and stay busy. But no matter what I do the emptiness is still there.
The last couple of weeks have been especially difficult. I miss her constantly. I think about all the things I should have done differently and wish I had understood what I had before it was gone. I dream about her almost every night and waking up to reality hurts every single time. Sometimes I find myself crying out of nowhere during the day.
I feel overwhelmed by regret and guilt. I feel alone. It feels like I'm carrying the weight of losing the one person who made life feel safe and meaningful.

the emptiness will be gone my friend just keep going and do your routine like usual. If she knows that you care and that you are hating yourself becuase of breakup and she didnt get back with you or even try to fix things she is not the one. Our mind usually thinks that people we love are holding our whole world when that really isnt the truth. The truth is that you are holding your own world and that nobody can get in your way if you really want it. I dont have my person and i dont have anyone to love right now and i think its for the best for my mental healt cuz its really bad at the time. You people need to take a break,we all sometimes do.
. i’ve been where the regret becomes louder than the breakup itself. i lost someone i deeply loved because of my own mistakes too, and for months i kept replaying every moment wondering why i didn’t wake up sooner.
Sometimes, people come into our lives for a reason. To teach. To guide. To show paths. I've been in these shoes. And while it hurts now, and will for longer, one day you'll realize the soul journey you two had was for that time ans that time only. And there was a reason behind it all. And you'll find this feeling again with someone. Hopefully you'll have worked on yourself enough to not repeat the same mistakes.
Hang on, months 3 and 4 where worst for me as well, it'll calm down
it sounds like you are doing all the right things Getting in the right headspace is important. Time does make things easier. Just take each day at a time and if you keep working on yourself, you will encourage wonderful things back into your life.
