Some days, i feel happy, and other days i feel completely lost. I miss the bubbly innocent version of myself who could enjoy little things without overthinking everything. This breakup has changed me in ways I never expected. I don’t understand why I struggle to feel genuinely happy why crowded places make me anxious or why I sometimes feel like I’ll never heal from this. Is it normal to feel this way after a painful breakup.
Today is 38th day of no contact
Absolutely for sure 38 days in. A friend once game me a timeline that it usually takes around half the duration of the relationship itself, give or take. That’s unpleasant to hear after a 10 year relationship, but it was good advice - helped set expectations…
Then i guess i need to give myself a few more months. i know healing isn’t the same for everyone, but thank you, it helps to have a rough idea and not rush myself.
Yep. Talking to people helps too. The more people the better, to share the load, and hear more diverse perspectives
Yess…thank you:)
Pretty accurate for me: 7 years relationship and 4 years till full recovery
