I want to be strong I want to be tough but I am so bored I am so lonely. I just sit here and end up talking to my cat. but I do I work from home so it's hard to get out and socialize with other people but at the same time I'm really not in the mood to socialize right now. I just feel so depressed over this breakup. I wish It wasn't happening. I was the one who broke up with him due to the issues that he has, but I feel so lonely. how do I beat loneliness? Is anybody else feeling like this? I'm only on day 6 I don't know how much longer I can take this is so hard.

when you say “issues he has,” do you mean stuff you couldn’t handle anymore, or things he refused to fix?
Both. He has psychosis episodes that he was unwilling to get help for
I find the weekends especially hard, during the week is not so bad as I'm working but the weekends hit different. I use to spend every weekend with my ex Fri night -Sun. I also live in quite a remote area with my parents so it does feel isolating. I'm trying to find ways to keep my self busy but i feel like I'm depending on people to do so I dont get to see my friends regularly. I looked at local groups to join but they arent for my age range more seniors. I want to reengage with hobbies but I also crave connection. I can so relate to how you are feeling.
i started small. like going to a café just to sit around people, or calling a friend for 10 minutes even when i didn’t feel like it. loneliness doesn’t disappear overnight, it just shrinks a little each time you remind yourself you exist outside of that relationship.
let’s connect
i feel you. i couldn’t get myself to socialize even tho i really need support at this moment. now i’m on day 7 of no contact. starts to feel less lonely but still crave his presence
when my breakup happened, i was working from home too, and it felt like the walls were closing in. i’d literally talk to my dog just to hear my own voice. it’s wild how quiet everything gets after the chaos ends. you’re not weak for missing him or feeling lonely it’s just your heart detoxing from all that connection
I am lonely and he knew it I begged him to come over but got rejected and completely discarded after 31/2 years it sucks! I think he relished in my loneliness 😔
His loss...
