Why No Contact is feeling Like Torture After a Breakup

Author

i didn’t think having no contact would feel like torture, its been going good the past couple days since ive been distracted from work but now at 3am everything is slapping me back in the face, i miss him and the urge to reach out feels like a volcano about to explode i don’t know how to explain this pain, i want it so badly to be him and im trying so hard not to read old conversations but i failed at that. Guess im crying myself to sleep oof.

when you say you want it so badly to be him, is it him specifically?

yea but if were to actually be telling from the heart i probably miss the feelings he gave me rather than him himself

when it hits like that, i literally tell myself “just get through tonight.” not forever. not the whole breakup. just tonight.

ugh 3am is the WORST. i swear no contact feels strong all day and then nighttime hits and it’s like my chest caves in. i used to reread old conversations too, like picking at a wound. that volcano urge? yeah. i’ve sat on my hands to not text. you’re not weak for struggling. this part is brutal

same here. my evenings tend to be better than mornings, for some reason. but 8 days NC already feels like 3 months. How do I survive 1000 more days? She is in a new relationship with a supposedly great guy who adores her. hurts.

damn i cant imagine the pain you must be going trough knowing she is with someone else, it’s okay we got each other here and knowing someone else feels the same way kinda comforting that im not alone😅
