Square one

I thought I was doing ok and then I had a dream about him last night and now I'm crying and missing him again. I feel like an idiot.

I relate to this so much. Triggers can make everything feel heavy again but it doesn’t erase the progress you’ve made. Choosing not to reach out takes real courage. You’re not alone 🤍

They really do make everything feel heavy, but at this stage I'm not even sure I want him back, just for him to acknowledge that he hurt me, but he couldn't even do that.

@Ellen81 I really feel this, wanting acknowledgment doesn’t mean you want him back it just means your pain mattered. The fact that you’re still choosing no contact even without closure shows so much strength. You’re not weak for feeling this 🤍

That's so kind of you to say, thank you. I came really close to breaking no contact today, I unblocked him and I had the message written and everything and I just thought, he's not going to reply so what's the point?, so I deleted the message and blocked him again. It's really hard though. I believe in you too.❤️

I'm so proud of you for making it 4 days with no contact. that's a huge accomplishment. I want you to know that you're not alone. when I was crying a few days ago I broke no contact with my ex and called him. it isn't easy to go through a breakup. if I had a dream about my ex I would find it triggering too and I would probably start crying as well. I believe in you. you are doing a great job sharing your thoughts and feelings and experiences on here. Each day is just another brick on the yellow brick road to healing.
