waking up lonly

[Oncehadluv]

some days i wake up and it seems as if the everyone in my life is gone and forgottten about me, its ones of the ****tiest feelings in the world. my point is when the dust settles you truly are alone, anyone else wake up feeling like this?

I feel you. It happening to me also, but the thing I'm actually believing in is that, this feeling is not lasting forever...try to distract yourself, explore new stuff that might interest you. These feelings are not meant to be permenant. ^^

After my ex. dumped me I felt that way too..I think we all do. It's a matter of re-adjusting. Your used to the ex. being there then poof their not.

 

After being single for awhile then you meet someone else then you have to...re-adjust to that. It's been almost a year now for me and I'm used to it..kinda like it and will enjoy hogging the whole bed until I meet someone else.

 

Give it time...you'll be ok.

Yeah, I feel this way too. My girlfriend broke up with me a few months ago, and since then I've woken up feeling lonely most mornings. Unfortunately, I think it's a normal part of the breakup process. It definitely sucks. I don't know how to get over it, other than to give it time and to work on filling your life with other things that will eventually replace what you are missing.

 

The way I Think about it is, we have 2 choices, we can choose to stay stuck being sad and lonely, or choose to try to live the best life we can. We can't change the past, so we might as well try to lie the best life we can going forward, and hope that things will eventually get better.

Definitely agree with villageman, one day you will wake up and just say F this, I can't be like this forever. Start doing things that make you happy - work out (get those endorphins going!), take up new activities or old hobbies, rekindle old friendships, talk with family, read inspiring stories on LS, go on casual dates, whatever it takes to not feel lonely. Mornings definitely are the worst after a break-up, but time really does heal all wounds.

Mikes on the money. Villageman too.

It's a matter of re-adjusting to being on your own and independant again. But once you settle back into it its really not a bad feeling. You get to hog the bed, hog the sheets, sleep in. It's funny actually I found I got to the point where I was so used to sleeping alone again that when I had someone new over for the night I couldnt sleep haha! I had to readjust to sleeping next to someone. I didnt get much sleep that night

 

Another part of the reason you feel particularly lonely and sad in the mornings from what I found is that your mind wanders in the night. All the feelings and emotions you've been trying to block out and keep yourself from thinking about run wild in your sleep. Then you wake up feeling like youve spent the last 6 - 8 hours thinking non stop about your ex, because you have. I also found the longer I stayed in bed after I woke up the worse it got. So my advice is as soon as you open you eyes jump out of bed, crank your favourite beats, hop in a nice hot shower and sing your F***ing heart out

 

And like Pod said, time really does heal all wounds. We just hate hearing it cause time is our enemy, and no one likes waiting

I don't wake up alone any more. I sleep with a rag doll. That comforts me. I also replace my ex with other men in my thoughts. I go to sleep thinking about other men and wake up thinking about other men. Screw him!

I also think this is a normal feeling. I felt the same way especially the first few months after he left me. He used to snore like hell so when I start to miss him I think about that and it gets me through because I didn't sleep well with the snoring, but now I sleep like an angel!!!
