kirikat Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Its stunning to me that I only broke up with him 21 days ago. If feels like I've felt like this for a year. Each day is such a struggle... I am having difficulty working, concentrating, bathing, doing the dishes. I am seeing psychiartrist (because, obviously, this is bigger than the end of a romantic relationship) - I am taking antidepressants - I am writing and blogging and trying to keep it together... but I just cant believe how much pain I am in. For those of you a little farther down the line, how long does it take to have hope again?
Curious139 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I feel for you. How long it takes depends upon the individual and the depth of the relationship. In my case it has been 2 months and I'm still grieving. I was severely depressed for about a month and now I'm slowly coming out of it. I occasionally laugh which is a big step. It does get better but you have to help yourself. No contact, put away anything which reminds you of him, be among people, talk to friends, and make yourself do exercise. I was feeling low last night and went for a half hour walk. I was quite surprised just how much better I felt afterwards.
