How i survived day 2 without him: a small victory

Author

day 2 of actual no contact its for sure this time because im not checking social media I still have him blocked and he is with another girl so it has been a lot hard this time around because I have not ties to him this time...but today I am going out with a friend we are just gonna do some shopping some lunch I cant afford and I shouldn't go but the alternative is sitting at home laying around and crying because I miss him...so im going and hopefully next week I wont have to talk myself into going and I wont think about him and I wont miss him but today im forcing myself because I just dont have the strength to do the alternative

what helped me was making ONE plan outside the house every day, even when i complained the whole way there. i didn't stop missing her overnight, but staying home always made it louder.

when you say there are no ties left to him now, does that make the grief feel heavier because there's nothing left to hold onto?

in a way I think it is a bit heavier but its the part of my brain that does not want to come to terms that we are over and there is no chance of getting back together as humans I think our egos love holding on to the fact that people love us even when we dont want them to. or at least mine does i don't want him but I also want him to still love me its crazy I know but thats the only conclusion I could come up with after sitting with these emotions and identifying why I was feeling this way.

i had my ex blocked too, and every part of me wanted to undo it. i'm really glad you're choosing lunch with a friend instead, even if your heart isn't fully there yet.

it was a really fun distraction I did catch myself thinking about him sometimes in between driving or standing in line but overall I had a great time

thanks it was nice I caught myself thinking about him in the moments when we were in line or in the car but it was a lot less this time
