I have been trying no contact since we separated 2 months ago…4 days is as long as I’ve made it..so please push through and use the others advice..walk away from your phone first thing..I have pushed him away by not being able to go the space and time he asked…now I’m afraid we are done for good…
i used to make the next 10 minutes my only goal when the anxiety got loud. i’d put my phone away, get outside, shower, cry, whatever got me through that little wave without contacting my ex.
when you say you can’t control your emotions rn, is it more the urge to contact them that’s hitting you, or the fear of actually losing them for good?
The urge to contact them. I really wanna have a conversation with them. Yk
day 4 was HARD for me too. i remember waking up with that horrible urge to reach out, then feeling proud of myself for every hour i got through without doing it. you’re doing better than you think.
You can be proud of you girl ! As the others said : feel your feelings is the most important. And the way you regulate them too: urge to check on their socials or to text/talk ? Then have a bath, a walk, a deep breath, move, sing, do whatever that would make you feel better. You don't need to know what their doing/thinking/feeling. The only thing that matters rn is YOU. We're all in this together. Keep it up ❤️
Thank you. I really needed to hear that.
I remember those first few days 😭 the anxiety can be crazy because your mind keeps telling you to just check on them or text them so you can feel better for a minute.But honestly, don't.Let yourself feel whatever comes up, even if you have to cry or distract yourself for a while.The feeling will pass. And trust me, making it to day 4 is something to be proud of ❤️
Just need to ride the waves and feel all the feelings. That way you're processing everything and not putting off the healing process. Be kind to yourself because this is really hard.
