What 220 days of no contact taught me

Author

Today I reached 220 days of no contact.

Has it gotten better? Yes.

Do I still think about him every day? Yes... I do.

But it doesn't hurt the way it used to. There are only a few days left when a single song is enough to make me cry myself to sleep. And I know that, one day, even those days will disappear.

220 days is huge. i had to stop counting the days at some point and start noticing the little moments where i felt like myself again. those random songs losing their power over me was the biggest sign.

what do you think helped you get through these 220 days the most when the hard days showed up

Giving myself room to feel everything. I allowed myself to be sad, angry, and happy. I allowed myself to have good days, and I didn't judge myself when I slipped back into my darkest moments, as if nothing had changed since yesterday.

hitting those milestones after my breakup and still waking up thinking about him every morning. the fact that it hurt less was such a strange kind of healing.
