spaniard Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I found this picture a few days ago and I think it summarizes pretty well the process of getting through a break up. So where are you now? I think I'm somewhere near to acceptance. I really like that it's not straight line but full of loops... ups and downs, just like in real life. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4953421/1277244843601.gif
loveunlimited Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 they say life is like a heart monitor, up down, up down; it's the rhythm of life, it's when it flatlines you have to worry. 1
fallenheart Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I'm in the same place I've been since the day she left me. The bottom. The absolute pit. There's no way out. There's no hope, meaning, or chance of ever feeling joy again. Just waiting to die, I guess.
loveunlimited Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 its always very interesting to me when people write such comments. i looked up your posting history... and because of what I have already read in it, I cannot believe what you have written above, you're still here after all this time. I confess i am perplexed by you. 1

AngrySmile Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Same. Dialogue and Acceptance, but moreso in Acceptance because I have a plan and its weird. Minute by minute is when I have to fight, and rationalize and analyze and then once I've broken it down to mere subatomic particles, I look at it and realize...its nothing at all. There's no point to break it down this far. Day by day.
HumptyDumpty Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Well, my case, I guess it's between depression and acceptance (dialogue already passed), I'm aware and accept the situation but I need to learn to move on, start dating and open up to new people! I'm still not ready! But I wouldn't want the old relationship either.... I'm good where I am, just need some time to take the next step since well, I keep thinking that this time one year ago everything was just so great... Yeah, depression fits my case!
not-a-drive-by Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I think I am somewhere between Dialogue & Bargaining and Acceptance. It's been 3.5 months since the break up. I still miss him dearly and there are days when I just want to bawl my eyes out. I think my friends are tired of listening to me saying that I miss him and how much I want it to work out. Most of the time, I try to keep it inside. Maybe I am still quite far from Acceptance. I am still holding a linger of hope that maybe, just maybe, he might miss me and return . 1
Berna Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I am not sure. I still don't feel anything, and we have officially broken up last Thursday. However, the process of breaking up was pretty long, it took us months. I am not sure whether this "nothing feeling" is due to this (I had experienced anger, denial, depression in the process of breaking up) or it is coming from depression and pain will hit later on. We'll see.
CopingGal Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I'm moving toward the acceptance phase. I'm not there yet. But I'm moving slowly. Sometimes I'm closer to it. Sometimes I'm further away. 1
Author spaniard Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 I'm moving toward the acceptance phase. I'm not there yet. But I'm moving slowly. Sometimes I'm closer to it. Sometimes I'm further away. Yeah. I was almost there, I think I even passed it, but yesterday (the anniversary of the day we met) and today were a bit more difficult. But I guess it's part of the game. 1
