Well, it's been a good while since I've needed to log on here, so long that it took me a good while to remember what my user name was (I actually chose it because I sneezed during the registration process).

 

No contact and restoring my (long forgotten) social life worked absolute wonders for me for making me feel like my old self. Of course, when everything seems like it's going great, I get that message from the ex, who'd never quite managed to disappear from my mind for more than a full day until recently. Well, I got an email from her roughly a month ago, it was about a page long and had some hints that she is thinking about a reconciliation. I ignored it. I did plan on eventually replying to it, but it continued to slip my mind for about a month (amazing!).

 

Obviously undeterred, I received another email from her about 3 days ago (I changed my cell#, she doesn't really have a way of contacting me). Then I did something stupid. I emailed back. I told her I still think about her. I put myself out there. Dumb move. Probably exactly what she wants to hear. Suddenly those feelings of anxiety started coming back, quickly checking my email every time I'm online to see if she's replied yet. Being disappointed over nothing.

 

No contact is no contact. If you want to feel better, want to lead a great, fun life, stick with it. Putting yourself out there to an ex who has already rejected you... is just going to make you feel garbage. What was I thinking...
