sleep deprivation

Author

I noticed last couple of days when I slept super bad like all day except for 1 I slept 5 hours. I miss her but can think rationally when I slept a bit. but when I'm sleep deprivated: I start spinballing about what could have been, about what I never will have anymore and about in general putting myself deeper into the hole.
Should I just contact her to feel happy for a short time?
Some suggestions for sleeping better/more?

of course she is still in love of you but it’s hides by her trauma and instability
be patient work on SR and she will be back sooner

hey; new member here. thought i might everything with all my might cause what do i have to lose?

i'm 19, just started college and been dating my boyfriend since 17/12/24. he met my entire family, i met his. i flew to him and he flew to me (we're ldr), but unfortunately things have begun to change.

every since i told him i wanted to save myself for marriage; he's been extra sexual. even with simple questions of mine, ("how are you?", etc), he always found a way to turn it sexual. also when it came to arguments, i was the only one communicating clearly and respectfully he either cursed at me or went cold and came back days later like nothing happened.

although i loved him with all my heart; and i would've truthfully given him the entire world if he asked, i decided today enough was enough as the physical pain in me started, (wanting to throw up for long periods of time, nausea, and chest pains)

this is my first ever true heartbreak; so needless to say, i am in absolute pieces. i am torn.

when you say you want to contact her, is it because you miss her or because you’re trying to stop that heavy feeling you get when you’re exhausted?

i stopped myself from texting my ex by asking one thing. “how am i gonna feel 20 minutes after this?” that usually stopped me because the crash after that little dopamine hit felt awful. the sleep part… man, even a tiny routine helped. like going to bed at the same time or putting my phone in another room. nothing fancy, just the basics so my mind didn’t go full chaos.

it's super, super normal to have an irregular sleep schedule after it happened. you're experiencing grief and grief does all kinds of things to the body. give yourself grace for feeling the way you do and let yourself move through it. what I've been told helps is if you're laying awake ruminating about it, write your thoughts down—physically in a journal or type it in the notes app, whatever works for you—as it helps you get out the thoughts physically so you can sleep without thinking about it, it give you a little release in that way. best of luck to you!

when i was heartbroken over my ex, the nights i barely slept were the WORST. my brain would go straight into the “what if” spiral and i’d convince myself i needed to hear from him just to breathe. it wasn’t even love at that point, it was just my tired brain begging for comfort. you’re not crazy for feeling like that. sleep deprivation messes with every emotion you’re holding together during the day.

if you’re in need to call her do it… it’s normal
don’t care no matter what she will react

situation: I'm still in live with her, she is nog in love anymore with me and broke up with me over calle, I'm not able tl see her for at least8 weeks because I'm still on erasmus, would calling her not obly give me false hope?
