how are people coping?
I've made it to day 22 and im still struggling now as much as I was on day 1! im still crying every day, still checking to see if there's another new girl again! we had been together for 2 years and there was 8 other women and 1 man throughout those 2 years so I have no idea why I was taking my ex back every single time. the relationship started to change me as a person, after all the abuse and betrayals I started to get angry and thats not me so thats when I knew I had to go no contact. for the 1st week my ex was still trying to contact me but they have stopped. normally if we had a break up they wouldn't stop trying to get me back and this time nothing. its so confusing and im constantly living in my head. I was very much trauma bonded to this person according to my therapist. I have had intensive therapy and am on a waiting list for EMDR therapy now due to my own traumas but I am hoping it can help me with this trauma too! I just wish I could switch off my feelings because after all the abuse, after all the betrayals, after all the false accusations and control I would still take them back in a heartbeat if they showed some change! this person has fully damaged me yet I still want them! what is wrong with me?

i Just wish the hurt outweighed the good in my mind! logically it definitely outweighed it but I cant stop remembering that when it was good it was good 😠i am focusing on myself as best as I can but every waking moment that my brain isn't occupied with hospital visits etc all I am thinking about is them with a range of what if theyre with someone else to what if theyre finally doing the work on themselves :( I have hope that in time things would work out and bring us back together but I also know holding on to that is destroying me ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
nothing is wrong with u. The familiarity and comfort zone keeps calling u back but remember the hurt?
Going back to him may feel good but at the end u gonna get hurt. Stay strong keep distance and focus on yourself. Ur mental health matters u matter and u have to stay away from ur toxic ex for ur self. Today it seems hard but in a long term u will be happy.u will recover soon keep going
