leftyright1 Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 its been 2 weeks since i was broken up w/ by the love of my life. i'm doing the best i can to focus on me and to try and keep moving the last 2 weeks. the only only answer to this may be time, but how do you find a way to sleep at night w/ out thinking about the person? my hardest time by far is when i try to go to bed or as soon as i wake up. i've been having dreams about her daily for at least 3 - 4 days. even on the nights when i can successfuly divert my attention to something else before sleeping, i wake up in the morning and have memories of her in my dreams.
Katherineos123 Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Ughhh... I think everyone has been there. Im going through it myself. The first couple of weeks is the hardest. Its so weird to learn how to "de-coupleize" but it does get easier. Ive been split up for a month, and I still lay awake at night feeling sad. For me, the only way I can keep my mind from racing is to fall asleep with the tv on so that theres something to listen to. I also get out of bed as soon as I wake up in the morning and start my day. Its the time that your stagnant that the pain comes back to bite ya. The first couple of weeks, I had my roomate/best friend sleep next to me, because she knew how much pain I was in, and just knowing someone was next to me helped more than she'll ever know. But I dont know how comfortable you would be with that! Hahaha! But to be honest, helping to give people advice here on LoveShack, and seeing that there are other people going through the same thing has been quite theraputic for me. I suggest that everytime you think of your ex, you go online and try and help someone else who is in just as much pain as you. Youll be able to distract yourself, by some time, and help someone to feel a little bit better. Youll also find that you can give some pretty damn good advice, whether or not you can follow it yourself is to be determined I hope you start to feel better. Heartbreak is that hardest thing in the world to go through, but it does get better and one day youll wake up in the morning and realize that you havent thought of her all day...
jerbear Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 It sounds like you are moving on but getting rid of those dreams will take time. Your subconscious mind can play tricks with itself. Those dreams will go away in time. In the meantime, I suggest taking a new hobby, pursue other interests, and just keep your mind off of things.
mma_j Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I was given a prescription sleeping aid from my doctor which completely knocks me out. I do get vivid dreams/nightmares which wake me up, but I expect that to happen for a while...
