ilikepeas Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 My ex of 4 years and I have only been broken up for about a week now, so I'm still in really bad shape. I generally make it through the day okay with activities like class (I'm in college), lots of exercising, and spending almost every minute with my best friend. In fact, I don't even really think about how much I miss my ex so I never have to fight off crying or talking much about it. But the minute all of my roommates retire to their rooms for bed, and I to mine, I fall apart again...I sit awake crying all night. I think part of this has to do with my "routine" being disrupted..my ex lives about two hours away so every night we would either talk on the phone or text cute little goodnight texts. Its almost like I can't sleep without them. To those of you who are feeling better, did you experience anything like this and how did you overcome it? I think I've watched every comedy ever filmed, painted my nails a million times, etc etc trying to take my mind off of things so that I can sleep but nothing is working
thelovingkind Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I know it hurts But realise that after four years of a routine with someone, this is still entirely to be expected at only four weeks past the break up. You are getting through your days okay, keeping up with classes, personal health and friendships, and that is the important thing for now. You're basically doing everything right, you just still have more sadness to get out of you. There's really no shortcut. Just remember that everytime you break into tears, that's one more cry behind you, one less ahead of you.
