Hi all,

 

I'm on No Contact with someone so I can get over them and return to being friends later. But I accidentally :cool: saw one of their social media posts, and they expressed that they are not doing very well right now physically or emotionally.

 

Should I focus on my own recovery, while allowing them their space? Or should I check in and be supportive? Quite torn.

You need some more time for deciding that.

 

If you contacted him now, it can be both better or worse. It can be worse if found that you really care for him, then he wouldn't be respecting.

 

So you need to wait.

They are not your responsibility anymore. Prioritize your own healing.

You should not even be looking at social media. Block block block.

I get the paradox. Do not break yourself into more pieces trying to be nice.

MagicRat - stay focused and stick to the NC plan. It's easy to find a reason to contact but it would do no good. Take it from so keen that knows. It would set you both back. You are trying to re establish emotional independence remember.

I'm out with a friend but my mind keeps going back there! Still on NC but it's agony.
