33 days of no contact. And since the breakup, we haven't seen each other once. He moved to another city, and I stayed. Today, I can say I'm doing well; I'm getting used to it, I'm starting to develop my own routines (we were together for five years). But what worries me is how I'll react if I run into him again one day? How will I react if I see him with another girl? I'm afraid of starting all over again, of suffering. Could it jeopardize the little peace and stability I've managed to build so far?

when you imagine running into him, what scares you more… seeing him happy with someone else, or seeing how YOU might feel in that moment?
One worries me as much as the other.
33 days is HUGE. seriously. i remember being around that mark after a 4 year relationship and feeling proud but also terrified. the thought of randomly seeing him with someone else made my stomach drop. i hadn’t seen him either and in my head it was like this dramatic movie scene waiting to ruin me the fear of “starting all over again” is so real. i built tiny bits of peace and was scared one glance would destroy it.
That's exactly it, and what happened next? I mean, when you crossed paths again.
Just be focus to yourself, your own well being and your self happiness
Well done with the 33 days. Awesome that youre making progress. Wish my ex had left town too....
For those imagined situations: do an EMDR session on youtube about these them to take the emotional edges off in advance. really helps. did one today where i picture my ex and her new bf dancing happily. reduces jealousy and anxiety for me
