do you miss him… or do you miss how you felt when you were with him? sometimes those are two different aches and it took me a while to figure that out
I miss him.. when I was with him it was a different filling..
I'm also in that phase, it's when I'm most vulnerable, I reach out and he's not there. My relief is that I strongly believe it's a stage of grieving I have to go through to get to the next stage.
when i was in that phase, i stopped fighting the sadness in the mornings. i’d just let myself miss him for a minute instead of pretending i was fine. it didn’t fix it
if it's been more than 2 year please move on. I feel so demotivated after seeing this. You deserve to feel free and calm without any if and buts. you need to pick yourself up and forget whatever is hurting you for yourself
it hasn’t even been a week..
mornings were the WORST for me too. i’d wake up and for a split second forget we weren’t together, then it would hit all over again. that empty side of the bed felt so loud. i felt completely lost without him you’re not dramatic for feeling this way.
It's going to feel like that for a while...it still does for me and it's over a month since the breakup. Just try and be kind to yourself. And try and do things you enjoy that didn't necessarily involve them.
Perfectly valid feelings. A romantic partner becomes your comfort person. The one you share everything with and when things fall apart or don't work out it feels like a large chunk of your life has just fallen away. Give yourself some space to grieve but try and make the space you're in easier on your mental health by packing away things that might trigger your longing. Take time to do things that cheer you up that wasn't something that was all about him like watching shows and films or even going out for some light excercise like a walk. Getting some fresh air while blasting music does a good job of helping you mentally and emotionally. It's not a cure all but keeping busy in this period will help you. Take each day step by step because this is a process and there's no rushing it no matter what people claim. The heart and mind will be fighting and they'll be longing and that's fine. Don't beat yourself up about it. But remember to remind yourself that you as a person by yourself deserve to be happy and you're entitled to take some time to try and do things to cheer yourself up.
