Why can't i stop missing him?

im really struggling. I have been feeling very down on myself and having very strong urges to reach out. I think im going to find a professional to talk to. This break up has really knocked my self esteem. Im doing all the things, but I just feel down.
I don't really want to work today, but im going to push myself. I miss him so much. This really sucks.

dragging myself through work after my breakup because staying home meant i'd just stare at my phone. i'm really glad you're looking for someone to talk to, i wish i'd done that sooner.

Thankfully my respect for myself has started screaming louder.

there something that happened recently that made you miss him even more, or is today just one of those days where it all hit at once?

I think just the longer time passes i realize he isn't coming back.

Im feeling the same to be honest. Im trying to be positive but I just feel shit about the future. She showed some very bad characterisitics recently and im trying to use that to feel better about moving on, but Im still grieving the old relationship I had with her. Im at work as well and on the drive here I just kept thinking to myself I really cant be bothered right now. I did a few online counselling sessions a few weeks ago when I was really in the dumps and it was okay I guess. Im getting more benefit on this platform though. I cant tell you if breaking no contact is the right play for you, but for me it definitely was not. There is nothing positive that she can bring into my life right now.Luckily its nearly the weekend and we have some extra time to ourselves. Hope you cheer up soon.

I find the weekends harder because we spent them together. I can keep busy with work during the week, but the weekends are a huge void I struggle to fill.

I'm so sorry your struggling. I am too. You will get through this. You will be happy again. I'm saying this to myself as I tell you... you are enough. more than enough for the right person. Professional help is a great idea I'm in therapy and it helps alot. but it's still one day at a time. celebrate the small wins. you got this ❤️

Yes, thankyou. I know the urges will pass. they have such strong pull though. I know reaching out will just set me back. because if he wanted to work through this he would have reached out.
