It's weird how our breakup made me feel motivated to work on myself, picking up more hours at work, studying, working out...and then crashing the moment I hit the bed. The constant what ifs, questioning my worth, wanting to numb myself, but failing, crying myself to sleep. It's a weird rollercoaster of emotions.

The fact that you’re pushing yourself to grow even through the pain says so much about your resilience

It’s such a hard balance trying to move forward while still feeling the weight of the past. Be proud of the progress you’re making even on the tough days.

You’re doing so much and that’s incredible. It’s okay to cry and feel the pain it’s all part of the process.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s a rollercoaster for sure but every step you’re taking to better yourself is a step toward healing.

It’s such a tough journey but the fact that you’re working on yourself shows so much strength. Healing isn’t linear and it’s okay to have those moments of crashing.

Breakups can be so emotionally draining but it’s amazing that you’re channeling some of that energy into self improvement. Be gentle with yourself it’s okay to feel everything you’re feeling.

It still feels like there's a hole in my heart. I'm proud of myself, but you're right about wanting to share that with someone
