I dreaded the weekends at first too. Ugh...

They get better a little at a time.

Hang in there- in time your weekends will once again be a good way to end the week!

Massive bed sounds awesome right about now. My ex and I bought a bed together, and I didn't bother taking the bed with me.

Be grateful that you have a big bed to sleep in, whether it's alone or not.

Pointless? Going to bed seems pointless?

All this negativity is no good for anyone.

Ok in the back of my mind I wonder, but there's no point because there is nothing you can do to control it.

All you can do is make it worse or not make it worse.

Weekends are a killer.
I felt like I was starting to get strength and confidence back this week but today was a nightmare. I cried today, uncontrollably.
Was quite scary because I'm not an emotional sort of person. Have gone trhough these things before but it has never been this bad. I hit rock bottom today.

Felt a bit better afterwards, thanks to a couple of friends. I feel lucky though.

It's a rollercoaster, that's for sure! You'll feel great for weeks at a time, then... out of no where... you'll get really upset. Totally normal.

When you said, I felt like I was starting to get strength and confidence back this week, it wasn't just a feeling. You were getting strength and confidence back!! Just because you felt the way that you were today does not mean that you have back-tracked.

It's completely normal to go through that. I can almost guarantee that in a couple of days (if not already) you'll feel exactly the way you described.

weekends are always the hardest. you are used to spending the time with you ex. stuff like sleeping in and watching tv in bed. you have more spare time to think about the ex. during the week i am workign then go to the gym each night. so i can keep myself busy

Bumped into my ex last night for the first time since we split 5 months ago. we talked for about 20 minutes, just catching up on what we were both and friends/family are upto. I was ok. I realised how lonely she is becoming and she is 36 and i feel she may never end up having kids. (spinster with her two cats)Felt sad cos i wish i could look after her. So today she is on my mind. but it will pass.
