Why Am I Still Crying 3 Months After the Breakup?

Author

3 months later, I thought I was doing okay, doing well and today I’m having a nasty breakdown. Does is ever get better?

did something specific trigger today? or did it just wash over you out of nowhere? sometimes mine was tied to tiny things i didn’t even notice at first

I think I got triggered by something

for me, it didn’t magically disappear. it just got less sharp over time. the breakdown days came, but they got farther apart.

does the pain get milder though? because for me it’s very sharp with every breakdown. the breakdown days are further apart but it still hits the same💔

oh man… i remember that exact 3 month mark i was “doing fine,” going to work, laughing again… and then one random tuesday i just LOST it. full breakdown. it scared me because i thought i was past it. you’re not crazy. healing is so not linear. i had setbacks like that and it still eventually softened.

I can’t wait for when I soften 😔. these setbacks take a toll on me, so much suffering just for loving a person 💔

what's the breakdown about? what thoughts are going through your mind?

about how much I loved a person only for him to lie and break my heart. I would’ve never done any of that to him. and he had the audacity to come back and say sorry, he doesn’t wanna lose me while he’s still in contact with the person he cheated with. I respected him but he has 0 respect for me

@BrightJoy369 wow, that must have been really hard dear. the betrayal ones are the worst, but it'll get better trust me. Just let him go okay, truly let your heart release him. and those moments will come and go sometimes but not that often, till you fully heal. give it time.
