it’s been a month since the breakup and 11 days of no contact and i find it really hard to move on. i feel like I’ve accepted and I’m at peace with the breakup, it’s just that i still feel very emotional about it. i feel like every time i thought I’ve moved on suddently i start crying again and have days i cant stop thinking about him. I’ve tried my best to move on, distract myself, focus on myself and other things but i still feel this empty void in me that never seems to fully go away no matter what. obviously i know that with time it will get better but i feel like i cant accept that i will always have some sort of feelings or nostalgia for him, and there were so many things that were left unsaid and it just makes it so much harder to move on. i feel like the only way for me to fully move on is to find something that gives me the same amount of happiness and purpose as it felt like to be in a relationship, but its hard to find that anywhere else. when we were together i felt like i was becoming a better version of myself and when we broke up it feels like all that growth just dissapeared and now i just feel every negative emotion that i tried to avoid feeling

I feel the same, after having no contact for days and think about why he/she is not right for you, u start feeling losing interest in them but the feeling that comes suddenly just converted in missing him/her and that creates anxiety,so in my perspective having something or someone where u can divert or may be invest that feeling is better than thinking about him/her
have you noticed any small things lately that make you feel even a tiny bit alive or happy? sometimes noticing those sparks helps start healing.
what helps me is letting myself feel it fully, journaling even the small memories, and slowly creating moments that bring me joy again. it takes time but it DOES get easier.
after my breakup i felt like i was fine but random waves of crying and nostalgia would just hit me. it’s brutal but so normal.
I feel you. The memories still haunt me from time to time. We don't have a choice but, facr it.
face it*
I get it, going through something similar, but maybe you can get a pet or a plant if you want something to give you a sense of purpose? or try different hobbies
i think it’s still early to feel fully healed.
it’s normal to still feel sad. that person was important in your life.
I agree we have to find another source of happiness. give our attention to other stuff.
