so I was working today and there’s a new girl and the perfume she had on was the exact same that my ex wore and I’ve been doing fine for the last 2 weeks but smelling that perfume just set me off and ruined my whole day and made me so sad and up until now I just can’t stop thinking about her
why do certain things such as smells, phrases and places trigger you to miss somebody and just be reminded of things it’s like the Brain is just playing cruel tricks on you

were there a lot of strong memories tied to that perfume? like really intense highs or lows? sometimes it’s not just the person. it’s the version of us that existed in those moments
my ex used this one cologne and the first time i caught it on a stranger i literally had to step outside. i thought i was “over it” and then boom. back to square one. it’s not you being dramatic. it’s memory attaching itself to everything
sorry to hear that :-/
it’s ok lol there’s good days and bad days it’s j part of healing
