That is where I am at, the 6 month mark (December).

 

Odd when I feel 'good' as Im waiting for the that wave of greif to remind me Im still out at sea.

 

While I have done things to improve my life, I have left some things unresolved. With the pain dimming, its really time for the hard part; putting together a life Im happy living with or without anyone else.

 

Waiting for the other shoe to drop might have a subconscious effect that is counteracting what youd like to happen - waking up without a thought of her.

 

I found that the more I drank before I went to bed or did dumb things to myself, the more I thought of her, since I normally wouldn't have done those things. Once I did good things for myself, it helped quite a bit. I wish you the best of luck!

It's definitely normal, experienced this after several break ups now and currently dealing with it after the most recent. I think for me it's because I spend a good part of the day coping, sorting out my thoughts and eventually coming to some sort of terms with things. But once asleep I have no control over my thoughts and my subconcious begins to take over in the form of dreams (very Freudian). Every morning when I wake up the clock has been reset and I have to start over again. Sucks.

It's totally normal. You can't do anything about it until you start moving on. I am now 60 days past breakup and I hardly think about him at all! It used to be the first thought on my mind in the morning, the last before I went to sleep and in my dreams. But I have had LC with him in the past 2 months (only talked to him on email once and IM once but that reaffirmed his lack of love for me.) So I moved on. I am feeling soooooo much better now and realized that I deserve much better in a man. Time WILL heal. I promise.

Mornings are the worst. Must force myself to get out of bed to go to work. Bad nausea and cant stop my mind from thinking of her. Meds help a bit i think but time looks like it might be the key unfortunetly
