Day 7: why am i stuck in this breakup cycle?

Author

I feel bad because what I am doing is that I'm just searching into avoidant attachment styles and everything
I am doom scrolling and doing anything else..I am not being productive..
also I'm gonna get my period so I don't feel productive at all

it's all so hard..The emotional burden of everything which happen came to me only and he is enjoying his life..I wanna escape too..I wonder when will that happen..

I keep thinking if he's gonna come back or what is going to happen in the future...

please suggest some things that I can do to move on...

you find yourself doom scrolling about avoidant attachment, are you usually looking for answers about why he left or hoping to find a sign that he’ll come back?

i spent hours reading about attachment styles and trying to decode every little thing my ex did, while my own life was sitting there waiting for me.

Hi Cookie
I always feel like a hypocrite responding on other people’s here because I’m struggling as much as anyone else- maybe even worse.
I’ll give it a shot though, maybe it’ll help you.
I’m also on day 7.
I try to like posts that aren’t about breakups or avoidants so that other things pop up on my FYP. I’ll like videos with pets in them, or comedians and videos with clips from shows I enjoyed like The Vampire Diaries or The Office. Periods are a really difficult time for me because emotionally I’m a wreck during mine; I have no idea how one copes with that aspect effectively but I keep telling myself (over and over and over) that I mustn’t make any hard decisions or be reckless because the worst of it will pass.
I’m hurting bad too. I hope you feel better soon.

I love this advice. I think the constant break up stuff that pops up on social media really isn't helpful. I started clicking not interested in it today to help clean up my feed. I think it just prolongs the pain.
