minee Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 so its day 6 of NC for me.. and I'm feeling a crapload of emotions. In the morning when I wake up its pretty bad, I wake up with a big lump in my chest, I have to try hard to peel myself out of bed, then during the day it gets better i just feel numb, but at night i'm literally biting my hands from picking up the phone and dialing his number. I just wanted to know from you guys, is the 1st the hardest? I heard some say that the 1st week is easy and the second week is hard. Does that mean I'm going to feel even crappier next week? How was your NC journey?
nick d Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 It's different for everyone. But for me, I'm on day 9 and to be honest I think it's getting harder.. I think it's because reality sets in more and more as time goes on.
gotye Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 i am about to be on day 4 and so many ups and downs... right now a down cause what would be our year anniversary is in an hour but i have no been alone any night... i am going to a friend's place to sleep tonight. I refuse to be wallowing in self pity alone
Thatguyintx Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Five weeks out, it has gotten much better. Still have occasional moments, but not many and they aren't very intense anymore. Chin up! It does get better!
Jane2011 Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I've been NC for three months without falling off the wagon. I"m pretty disciplined about it; I just don't contact him. But I'm tempted all the damn time. Ugh.
Fitz Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Overall, its getting easier as I accept certain truths about our relationship being over. But its definitely a roller coster of emotion. Sometimes I get so angry, and then I get so depressed, and even sometimes I get happy. But my ex left me to be in an affair with a married man. So I do take guilty comfort in knowing that she's in a doomed time-bomb of a relationship. And waiting for the eventual explosion makes it a whole lot easier to keep my mouth shut...
budley12 Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 i'm at 4weeks of NC now. i have up days and downs. I feel overall im getting better but I still have the urge to contact and just see how his life is. Its so hard going to the same school and living 3minutes walking away.
