So do you have those stupid moments when you think 'He/she will come running back' Even though you know that it's not going to happen and you know that its pointless to even be thinking and holding on to this fantasy!

 

I can normally snap myself out of it and tell myself to stop. I'm just wondering if anyone else does this?

Completely normal, is part of the healing process, sometimes you just cant snap out of it, as you said, but dont worry, things will get better for you ;)

Thank you. As I said, some days I can snap out of while on others I hold on to the hope!

By experience, I can tell you that trying to distract yourself from this thoughts, specially when the BU is still fresh or when the feelings are still too intense, it`s not a good idea. If you need to lay in bed, adopt the fetal position and cry to sleep, do it. Pain will gradually fade away, give it time, but also try to find some empowering activities, read about how to use this experiences to better yourself, and such.

To be honest I think I've cried myself dry! I've been reading 'I can mend your broken heart' Which has helped massively but I think I've got to the point where I'm fed up with being upset ect..

I'm getting there. After breaking NC time and time again I've decided that he will never hear from me again, even if he contacts me.

I sincerely hope you develop the mental strength of a masai warrior for you to succeed with your decision :)

I can either keep contacting him and hurting myself or stick to what I've told myself, 'Enough is enough'

I'd like to say wise but I do have fololish moments. But I hope I do learn from this and become the wise man.

We all have our foolish moments at times Tainted and that's fine.I have been on that road for nearly 21 months now and I'm still not as I should be but you can't force it.Take one step at the time and never ever fool yourself in thinking otherwise if you get my drift;)
