today would've been 5 months of dating with her and it hurts badly because just a few days ago (the 6th of October) marks 1 month since she broke up with me but it feels like it only happened a week ago. and to top the month off the 12th marks 1 year since I found out my childhood best friend passed away. safe to say this month is killing me. although Halloween will be fun but its still a very hard month for me.😢

October is hitting you with everything all at once. i had a month like that last year where my ex left right around the anniversary of losing my brother, and the weight of stacked grief makes you feel like you can barely breathe. it makes total sense why one month feels like one week, because your brain is just trying to survive all this loss at once.
when multiple heavy dates line up like this, i found it helped to treat the days like normal, boring Tuesdays instead of big monumental anniversaries. don't pressure yourself to honor or feel anything specific on the 12th, just focus on keeping your head above water and letting yourself enjoy Halloween without feeling guilty.
you doing anything special for Halloween to give yourself a real break from all this heavy stuff?
