Today was my first day back at work after taking a week off to grieve and try to process the breakup. I knew it would be hard, but I don’t think I realized just how hard. I barely managed to concentrate because my mind was constantly going back to him and all the memories of our life together. I held back tears at work more times than I can count.
When I finally came home, all the emotions I had been holding in completely crashed over me. I cried, felt overwhelmed, and missed him so badly. I had such a strong urge to reach out and ask him to come and hug me, because I just wanted that feeling of safety and comfort again. I held my phone so many times with that huge urge to tell him and beg him to comfort me, but somehow I resisted.
Today reminded me that healing isn’t linear. Some days I feel like I’m making progress, and other days the grief feels just as painful as the beginning. But I made it through my first day back at work without contacting him. And tonight, that’s enough…

my first day back at work after my breakup was brutal too, i spent hours pretending i was fine while my brain was somewhere else completely. getting through the day without texting him was a BIG win for me.
