floods88 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 is it normal to feel like your through the worst of the pain after 3 weeks? i know its nothing compared to 3 years, but after completely hitting rock bottom the last few weeks i feel a lot less anxious, that i can be okay on my own and that it was probably for the best. i know that i will still have moments where i miss him and want to contact him but those feelings arent carried with immense depression and panic anymore. they are just me missing his company.
nobleguy Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Difficult to tell. I had a good two or three weeks about a month or so after the split, then I descended into an abyss of despair for another month and a half. I really did. Sorry, that's not helping is it?

Good to hear... Three weeks is a rather short time but enjoy it and do things for youself to help sustain it. You take up a hobby, class, activity yet?
Author floods88 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 lol... no, not entirely helpful, but probably good to know. its just that i went out on my own last night, met some friends, he wasnt there, spoke to some new people, made plans for tonight and it felt good to be one person that people like and will talk to, rather than just part of a couple that people see as a unit rather than just as individuals. part of the reason why i was so down and out was because i felt that i was invisible, that i meant nothing without him, that he was the thing that kept me going and kept me happy... but i can be happy with just me... and that was a bit of an epiphany
twinklecat Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Hiya Floods. I'm not sure if it's normal or not, but the past few days I've felt the same, and it's only been 3 weeks here too. I think it's a good thing, keeping myself positive and doing things to sustain it!
