when you wake up like that, do you usually reach for your phone or try to distract yourself? or do you just lay there and let it hit?
some days I can breath through it and tell myself im okay, other days I cant and try to use my phone. The worst is when I fall back asleep and have these really vivid anxious dreams
i usually grab some water and move my body a bit, even just stretching. not cuz it “fixes” it, but it makes me feel like i’m back in my body instead of stuck in my head. mornings still sting sometimes but it takes the edge off.
water and stretching is a good idea ill try that :)
For me in the night, i will writting what bothering me in my head. After that ripped or burn it then say i let it go. Play music for whole night and in the morning i'm okay. You can journaling as well what make you happy today then you will realize alot people love you and you don't desever thats feeling.
I journal during the day, but I'll try before bed too :)
damn i feel this. after my ex left i’d wake up with my chest tight like someone was sitting on it. mornings were the hardest cuz it hit me all over again that they weren’t there. it eased slowly but god those first weeks were brutal.
yeah that's exactly what im feeling :( I think it is getting better but SO slowly. I still sleep on my side of the bed and when I roll over and see that they arent there its really hard
CBD sublingual spray, watching YT videos on avoidants versus not interested...
today it makes 2 weeks without contact. since the first day I tried to occupy my mind with things I had to do. I live alone and sometimes asking for people stay with me but it wasn't the same bc just that specific presence was enough for me. I accepted that he's gone, that he didn't chose me, but he left and the lolliness feeling stayed (but he didn't live with me). now, with 2 weeks, I think I can live alone again. I'm trying to find myself. bc I donate so much of me for him and the relationship that I lost my identity.
It's was the 2 most difficult weeks of my life, and still now it's not easy, but the important is keep walking. otherwise you'll get stuck in life and depressed. so know that you are not alone in this in keep doing your things and keep walking until you get out of this. bc better things will come for you and someone who deserves your love is coming in the right time as well.
The first week was hell, I can't eat, work and I always cry. but I distracted myself after, because my life will go on even if we broke up. I do some journal, I even wrote down the thing he did hurted me so much, it helps me to validate my emotions and feelings and it helps me move forward everyday. now I'm writing in my journal is my affirmation, and how I'm so grateful.
I'm dealing with the same problem. But what helps me to clear my mind completely before i go to bed
what have you done that helps you clear your mind? my mind is so busy and I have vivid dreams so that has been really hard for me to do
I had that the first few weeks. It was really bad for me, I'd go to sleep and wake up crying because all I could picture while I slept was our moments together and thinking about what went wrong. But it does get better, I'm not just saying that, it really is true. You just need to take the time to allow yourself to let them go, realize that they were not the center of your world, and someday you will be able to sleep and wake up peacefully. I would recommend that you start journaling, I did that every night and still do it occasionally, just air out your thoughts that were left unsaid, things you wish you could say to him, whether it's angry or sad, it will help. Writing it down is like pure finally letting it out of your system, and you're allowing yourself to heal. Just give it time, it will all turn out okay.
Yeah thats where Im at right now :( I really dont want to let him go even though i know that I have to. We spent 7.5 years together, I thought we were going to grow old together. I journal during the day but I will try Journaling before bed too, thank you.
@SadFox oh wow 7.5 years is a long time. I'm sorry that it didn't end up lasting. I honestly that I was going to grow old with my ex too and we only together for a year, I can't imagine how much harder it must be for you. I'm so sorry. But one thing that I keep telling myself is that just remember that you didn't "waste" your life on him. I know that it my not be clear now, but this relationship taught you something about yourself and it will help you in the future. it took me a while to come to terms with that but now I realize that I am worthy of a good person, and my ex was so very far from that. I also realized that I was never really protective over myself like I should have been, I was too nice and let in too many people who had bad intentions. just give it time and I know that you'll eventually realize something about yourself too. everything happens for a reason , I like to think that when breakups happen, it you feel down or something in the world telling you that you are meant to be stronger and have greater things waiting for you. I hope this helps and if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here :)
@BookishGirl thank you :) <3
