Dumped for His Ex

[SassyKitten]

I'm having so much trouble coping. It was a long-distance relationship, granted, but we also had the best connection I have had with anyone in my life. After sending him a lot of angry text messages I have resigned myself to the idea that he is a douchebag, and I'm in bed, crying, and haven't been able to get more than 4 hours of sleep for the last 3 nights as I'll fall asleep and then snap wide awake.

 

I'm over men, I'm over damn relationships, I'm over the idea of ever making myself that vulnerable to anyone ever again. How do I function in the mean time though? I'm new in the area I'm living in, so its not like I have a large group of friends to help ease my pain.

Anything that you can do to occupy your time will help. Having downtime is when you start to think about the things that hurt. The pain is like a fresh cut, but it will heal with time and so will you.

 

Just think of the bullet that you dodged with him.

[SassyKitten]

I agree, I actually just took some pills to help me get some more sleep as the emotional rollercoaster and the fact that I've had 12 hours of sleep in the last 3 days have left me too exhausted to do anything to distract myself. Moping definitely takes less physical energy than actually being productive!

 

Just waiting for them to kick in, thanks again, hugs back to you

Make sure you eat:p

 

I noticed at least in my experience that I tended not to eat much at first.

 

You are welcome.

[SassyKitten]

Haha! So true, yesterday all I had to eat was 7 or so Triscuits. Tried to nibble on something just now, still trying to get sleeping pills to kick in though.

And I'm awake again after a nap, getting sleep helped with my feeling cranky, but I still feel drained, angry, and sad. I wonder right now how much longer I am going to feel like this.

Exercise is a natural anti-depressant. I know how it feels to be left like that. I too am semi-new to my area so I don't know anyone either, as my ex just cut my heart out 4 weeks ago. It is very hard but you have to keep yourself busy. Go for walks at a park. Try making new types of meals (hobby & time consuming). Get a gym membership that has a pool. But most importantly, keep that head up gal.

Hey Sassy , don't worry the pain day by day will slowly go away. =] I'm that same as you I still feel sad and drained from my break up but after a month I find myself thinking less and less of my ex. I even feel like going out with friends now .

 

Youshould find something that you enjoyed doing like maybe watching movies, being around friends, or playing a sport.

For the first couple of weeks I had like a plan that helped me and would boost my mood.

And yes exercise can help you esp. right before you sleep that way you don't have to keep taking pills for sleep.

[SassyKitten]

It's still painful. I have homework I need to do, but I find myself spending a lot of time not thinking about him, but trying to force myself to stop thinking about him!

 

Thanks for the support
