creighton0123 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 And even that was lingering. One was triggered by wanting to vent about a tough day at work and that I usually used him for that. The second time was when I heard the outside door open around the time he usually got home from work. It was the upstairs neighbors. The third time is now, obviously, when I'm writing about it. None of these sparked any active or recognizable feelings of sadness or anxiety. I haven't felt anxiety about it since Sunday when I was driving home from my parents. I think I've made good progress. On a random note: I got the warm fuzzies when a guy smirked at me on the subway this morning. It's rare to find another guy in public where that mutual attraction clicks. It felt good. Wish I stopped him and got his information, but he was going to work. Chances are we'll cross paths again. 1
cavalier99 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I envy you. Sounds like at the rate your going you will be recovered in a snap. F*ck im 4.5 months NC and think of her a lot more than just a few times a day. You sound like your wired differently..not necessarily in a bad way. You seem very practical and analytical about your BU...not too emotional. Hope i can gain that level equilibrium. Keep it up. Cav 1
Author creighton0123 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks Cav. I am, perhaps, indeed wired differently. I have always been able to enjoy the full range of positive emotions, but seem to have an easier time with the negative ones. The first week was hellish, mind you. This week, however, I feel 90% better. I know that I won't be ready to move on until I am closer to that 100%. That wouldn't be fair to who I am dating if they are experiencing attachment as a replacement for my ex instead of genuine attachment based exclusively on what they mean to me.
