love_pink Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I just gotta let this out for some odd reason. But hey, it helps! A little backstory on myself: I'm quite young (18) and going through my first breakup (yay.....). I cannot afford going to university or college yet which brings me to the topic of being alone with my thoughts..... At work. Now either my managers hate me or it's life teaching me a lesson, but I seem to only be getting one 5 hour shift a week. Maybe because it's January and retail is very slow around this time. Now I work as a sales associate at a store where the prices are very expensive it makes me roll my eyes sometimes, which concludes why we barely get any customers in the first place lol. So as I'm on the floor at all times, I'm walking around bored out of my mind and all I can think about is my ex, what we've been through, good + bad memories, the breakup, and what I could've/would've/should've done and said to make our relationship work better. Not to mention all the sad breakup songs that blast throughout the store doesn't help!!! And yes there are other associates I can talk to, but managers are strict on slacking off while working... Even when it's as dead as a desert and the only ones in the store are workers. Man does it suck and I hate it so much. It really only slows down the healing process, but I can't help it. I try shaking out the thoughts but they just keep flooding back. I guess you could say I'm quite thankful I only get a few hour shifts a week because it seems to be the only time I think about him haha. I'm currently in the process of looking for a second job that's busier than my current one so my thoughts aren't about him, but at this time I seem to be getting no luck. Gah! Ever since I got dumped I feel like things have been going downhill for me! Guess I just gotta deal with it for the time being until things start looking good for me. Anyway, thanks for reading!
LostConfused123 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 A slow job is like torture as it is even without the process of grieving a breakup. Best of luck finding a busier one! This will help immensely!! And good luck vin your recovery! ((hugs!!))

Your need to keep your brain busy. It is going rewind and replay the relationship until it finds something else to attach to. The idea is to make a change. So find cheap activities to do while not working. Go on one of the the OLD sites and start flirting Start running or doing yoga or any thing that gets your endorphins going and that will offer you a baseline marker for your progress. Search for other positions i.e. temp work, part time work on CraigsList.Fill out the FASFA application for government student loan aid Start taking community college classes. Just one or two to start building your higher education foundation. You may just meet someone new.
