I’m missing my ex right now but I know how to separate feelings from fact. I miss her because I’m insecure about myself again and also haven’t been winning in life lately. Me and my sister also had a heart to heart about how we feel about our exes and i understood her and she helped me understand why my ex and I grew apart. I think the conversation brought up leftover pain from the initial feeling and healing process. Anyone have any tips or words of comfort?

the days when everything else in my life felt off were always the days i missed my ex the most. once i started getting little wins for myself again, that ache got a lot quieter.
i really like that you can tell the difference between what you're feeling
that conversation with your sister sounds like it opened something back up. do you think you're missing HER, or are you missing the version of yourself you were when you were together
I think I’m missing the validation I was getting from her honestly
it’s good that you know the source of your feelings. using logic like that helps to dull the pain for me (at least a little bit), and so does knowing that the recovery time tends to be quicker when feelings resurge after a period of no contact. I unfortunately don’t know any other way than through, but do know that there is a path forward. you’ve got this!
it sounds like you have a great support in your sister. I'm not sure if it helps, but i have really been trying to focus on putting fun things into my future to look forward to, and bring grateful for having the ability and opportunity to love someone. even if it did end in heart break . but honestly... im guessing we all feel like shit. lol. I wish I had a magic wand to heal everybody including you. 🫶
