We ended our relationship after three years of trying to work through long distance, stressful jobs, school, and family baggages/dramas. He's my first love, and it feels like a part of me died when I let him go. I know it's never easy, and moving on takes a while. . . but my heart is so heavy that I just want to rip it out and numb myself to this. But "pain demands to be felt".

I know how it feels to carry the weight of a breakup that feels like the end of the world. My first love and I broke up to trying to balance life’s chaos. It hurt so much but I’m slowly learning that the pain doesn’t last forever it just feels like it does right now.
I know how heavy your heart feels right now. When my first love and I ended things it felt like I couldn’t breathe. I wanted to num the pain so badly but I realized that feeling it was the only way to heal. It’s hard but you’ll get through this one day at a time.
Letting go of my first love felt like losing a piece of myself. We tried so hard to make it work but life kept getting in the way. It’s been month and some days the pain still hits me out of nowhere.
Hi My first love and I broke up trying to balance work and family drama. It felt like I was grieving a future we’d planned together. But slowly I’m learning that letting go doesn’t mean forgetting it means making space for something new.
Im sorry that happened but i relate 3 years, first love, and now it’s just... gone. It’s like a part of you dies but the rest of you still has to keep going. The weight in your chest, the urge to just feel nothing, I know that feeling way too well. But pain’s cruel like that. It won’t let you go without bleeding first. tc be strong
Thank you...I don't know where to start but I'm taking it day by day
im sorry that happened please keep the faith and be strong ...yo will come out of this... time will heal till then just pray if you like doing that and yeah pain will need to be felt.
I will...thank you
Pain demands to be felt and yes thats the only way through. sorry all thats happening with you. i can tell you this about LDRs they are somehow the ones where you need the most amount of faith and patience and everything is centered around trust so when u put that in over the years they are the toughest to get over because physically that person was never there even then ...then how do u let go fully you know...there is no marker...only a silent phone and everytime the phone pings you hope its them and its not and that is hard. so wishing u strength ive been through one and i dunno what else to tell you except to be strong. tc
Yes, I've invested so much in this relationship. The constant waiting and believing...the hope. I felt so crushed. I don't know how to fully let go. I don't know how to believe again, but I know that it'll be okay someday. I want to desperately believe that I'll be okay. That one day I'll stop waiting for the text that will never come.
