What things did you do to feel like yourself again after heartbreak?
I broke up with my ex about a month ago, and yesterday spoke with him and basically got the final confirmation we are done. I really struggled to break up with him because i still love him, but our relationship was basically falling apart.
i am also newly sober, so navigating this heartbreak sober has been very different. I would usually just get drunk and flirt with other people, probably go out and sleep with someone, and cope that way. obviously that’s not an option, and this time i really have no desire to do that.
so how do i STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM?? How do I move on from this? I feel I have trust issues for the first time in my life, because I really planned to marry this man. I do realize i have to take accountability for the fact i initiated the breakup, but he had been pushing me away for months and it was what my intuition told me. I couldn’t keep ignoring it.
i just want to feel normal again and stop waking up stressed over someone who doesn’t want me anymore. i know i have to do things for myself, focus on my own hobbies, it’s just so hard feeling like i don’t have control over my thoughts about him. trying not to think about someone makes you think of them even more you know? so any advice on how to really regain control and feel more like myself? what helped you?
