CurlyTraveller Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Hey guys, Has anyone ever experienced feelings of euphoria after a breakup, only to slip back into of anger and despair shortly after? About two weeks ago I had a kind-of epiphany about my relationship with my ex. Basically I saw the relationship for what it really was; the good, the bad, and the ugly. I saw that things had become so toxic that her ending it really was the best thing for both of us. This was a HUGE step. Immediately after coming to this point I felt a wave of forgiveness and compassion wash over me. I forgave her for breaking my heart, I forgave her for her callousness after our split, I even imagined sitting down for a drink with her and her new BF and being completely OK with it. I felt euphoric, on top of the world, like I was truly 100% over everything. That feeling lasted for all of about a week. Now it seems like I'm back at square one, battling feelings of regret, self-blame, and wishing my ex was still in my life. It just seems so strange to go from feeling practically invincible, to down in the dumps again so quickly. I tried googling "post breakup euphoria" but didn't find anything useful. Thoughts?
todreaminblue Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 i think when you are really close to someone and you break up you go through a lot of emotions all of them necessary some not able to be discerned or understood by anyone including you..they exist to be.......you just have to take it easy on yourself and accept the emotions when they happen by knowing they probably wont last.....that time will heal ......and that having mixed feelings is normal......you will get back to that place of acceptance ....minus the euphoria one day......deb
love2ride Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Yes I felt euphoric and relieved for about two months after my break up, I even started talking to another woman on Skypre regularly and had plans to date her the n one morning I woke up and missed my ex. Then it got worse and worse. I missed her so bad and went into a depression. Its still hard but i'm slowly coming out of my depression. Its been about 4 months or so since the breakup.
Jules75 Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 It is so hard. Mine left with no reason but only to tell me he loves me, there is no one else and that he knows I have been and given unconditional love and support and cherished him. I go from getting to make plans for next steps then I'm balling about why? all I did was love him. It's frustrating and the emptiness hurts but when I'm around others it's okay but too much quiet and I get back on the roller coaster. I Understand and we are just being human but yes I wish it would end. I feel like a mess and hat I did nothing to deserve it and that really hurts the most. Betraying to avoid talking is hard too - just to hear his voice. Hang in there we will all get through this and hopefully a little wiser.
