I hurt my thumb earlier today and now it’s swollen and bruised. It hurts to move and bend it properly. I’m not sure if it’s just a bad jam/sprain or something more serious.
Has anyone dealt with something similar? Did it heal on its own or should I get it checked/X-rayed?
I've been super close with her since 2023. We are somewhat long-distance, but we basically talked every single day and know everything about each other. At the start of April, we had a chat about love, and it just hit me. Since then, I started feeling really attracted to her. She can even see right through me at times, and gradually, I completely fell for her.
About two weeks ago, she was gaming with some other friends and I got jealous. I started overthinking and decided I was going to confess that day. I knew we probably couldn't be more than friends, but I couldn't hold it in anymore. I typed it out, but I actually forgot to send the last paragraph (the main one), She thought I was just overthinking something else and comforted me, but then I had to tell her it was a real confession.
She wasn't that shocked. She sensed it and told me, "Yeah, there was an incline in our friendship and I'm sorry I didn't stop it, I just didn't want to lose you." She helped me calm down because I was so upset. A couple of hours later she asked, "How do you wish to proceed from here, do you want to remain friends? I completely understand if you'd like to take a break."
I decided to cut off contact so I can heal. It's been 2 weeks of no talking. Going from everything to nothing in an instant is killing me. I want to know what she's up to, so I sometimes stalk her socials and listen to her playlists, and just yearn over it. I am struggling hard.
I miss my friend, but I know if I text her right now, I'm just going to keep suffering because the feelings are still there. I could pretend to be her friend, but the possessiveness and obsession would make it super awkward now. If I don't text her, I still think about her even in my sleep 😭.
Help me. How do I actually stick to my boundaries? Should I just keep up the no-contact even though it hurts, or is there a way to salvage this without torturing myself? How do you break the habit of talking to someone every single day? Any advice is appreciated.
TL;DR: I fell in love with my long-distance best friend who I’ve talked to every single day since 2-3 yrs. I got jealous, confessed my feelings, and she let me down super gently. I decided to go no-contact two weeks ago to heal, but going from everything to nothing is killing me. I keep stalking her socials and playlists. How do I stick to no-contact, stop obsessing, and survive losing my best friend without texting her?
