I’m really struggling right now after being discarded and told he didn’t want any contact. The thought of having to face him at work feels almost impossible when I can barely function myself. I haven’t slept in two days, I’ve been staying in bed all day, and I haven’t eaten anything. I feel completely exhausted, overwhelmed, and trapped in this situation.

know this sounds small, but when i couldn’t eat or sleep, i stopped worrying about getting through the whole day and focused on the next tiny thing in front of me
this sounds so heavy, and i’m worried about how trapped you’re feeling. do you have someone you trust who could stay with you or help you get through tomorrow at work?
I don’t really have anyone I can lean on. I feel like I could break at any moment and don’t want anyone to see that
lying in bed after being discarded, too exhausted to eat or sleep, while knowing i’d have to see my ex again. that work situation can make the whole thing feel impossible
It really complicates things. I wish I could remove myself from this situation
I know it's hard to believe now, but in time, this will hurt less. Try to focus on self care right now. eat healthy, try going for a walk or getting a workout in if you can, go to bed early. if you aren't keeping a journal right now, you really should. I don't write everyday, just when I feel strong feelings or want to say something to my ex. I put it here instead. it sounds silly, but it is really quite cathartic.
Thank you for the support and advice 💟It has been hard for me to be alone with all the thoughts and feeling.
it’s going to be okay. I know it feels awful right now, but you will get through this. Please try to find one kind thing you can do to take care of yourself today. Eat your favorite food if you can, take a hot bath, light a candle, or call a friend, or journal how you’re feeeling. Right now it really hurts, but you will come to see that he is undeserving of you and your heart anyways. it will get better
Thank you ❤️ I really needed to hear this
it'll pass, it always passes. just stay strong, don't let this affect your work life. you'll regret it if you do
