Surviving 14 days after a breakup: i didn't think i'd make it

Author

I honestly didn't think I'd make it this far. The first few days were hard. I wanted to check, I wanted answers, and obviously I wanted to hear from them.
But somehow I made it to 14 days.
If you're on day 1, day 3, day 7 or you've had to start over,please don't think you're behind. There is no perfect way to do this.....Just get through today.
And if you mess up and start again,don't beat yourself up.Just start again.
I know it feels impossible at first, but trust me, the days really do start getting easier.

i had to restart no contact more than once, and i used to feel like i’d ruined all my progress whenever i did. eventually i realized i could just begin again without punishing myself for being human.

i love that you said “just get through today,” because that’s exactly what helped me when the urge to reach out was awful. do you feel even a little different now compared to day 1?

Yeah I'd say sometimes the urge rises but I try to keep myself busy and after some hours I get back to normal

counting the days after my breakup too, and every morning felt like a tiny victory. day 14 is HUGE when day 1 felt impossible, so i’m really glad you made it here.
