I am 20 days into NC, and about 7 weeks into the breakup, and why can't i get my bloody ex out of my head! All i thinks, is where is he whats he up to, he's intiated most of the contact but it usually works out against me, so i cut that off about 20 days ago. But I can't say Out of Sight, Out of Mind is working to well for me. Granted, I've been pretty depressed so I could do more to keep myself busy, but yesterday was a good start...i went to the gym for the first time and then hung out with some people. but i still think about him. jerkface.

Going to the gym and hanging out with your friends really is the best thing you can do. When people say it takes time it is because you need to create new happy memories that do not involve your ex.

I can't enjoy even the most basic things that I used to do that made me happy. All I can think about is my girlie. I have a feeling that I'm going to be suffering for a long long time.

God I feel bad.

okay whether this is helpful or not i don't know, but unfortunately what happens when we break up with someone we suffer withdrawal symptoms, such as..... them bloody horrible butterflies that stop you eating, loss of sleep blah blah blah. But not wanting to take the emotion out of it, its all for biological reasons to procreate!!!!! lol when i broke up with my ex (after 4 kids and 7 yrs) it took me a year to REALLY get over him. But you are doing a good start, keeping yourself busy....but allow yourself to mourn and don't feel bad about it!!

I've been broken up with my gf for about 7 weeks now (she broke up with me). I've been riding my bicycle 20 miles every other day, working out and golfing 1-2 times a week. I seem to do O.K. during the week but, the weekends are hell. I just got home from a Friday night out with a few friends and I feel like crap. I don't know if I just don't want to be on my own or if I want my gf back (we were together for 6 months). It really is a horrible feeling. We all need to do whatever necessary to make ourselves get on with life and feel better but, it doesn't seem to be making that much of a difference for me to look out for myself and exercise etc.... I sat around while I was out, wondering what she was up to, if she thinks about me at all etc... I don't know what else to do to get over these lousy feelings. Any suggestions????
