Here's how I got over my ex

Here's how you know you are doing it right:

You cry your pillow literally flat for months

You lose sleep because of nightmares

You ruminate - over and over and over and over and over and over.

You read the text messages, text them, they text you, cycle above continues. You beg, you hate them, you do NC for a few days, you break it. Cycle continues.

You delete the photoes - it feels good at first but suddenly you're confused - you're still sad - you think : how do I get rid of this pain?!

You suddenly feel you're over it. You feel happy for a minute, an hour, a day. Then you're hit by a train and it hurts again. You're confused. You cry for months again.

You do things with friends, you feel empty. You feel lonely with everyone but them around you. But you still do it once in a while. Then you cry again.

And suddenly one day it stopped hurting. Your brain is not wired to feel pain forever. Healing is NOT linnear. I did all of these things and peace came to me in the end. It took almost a year. But to anyone doing all of these things - it's normal. It's grief. Feel your emotions and take care of yourself. You will get through this, I believe in you.
