CT98 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 And I feel so good! It dawned on me the other day that I'm genuinely happy for the first time in a very long time. This break up has really helped me to discover the real me, the real me who was so unsatisfied with life for a long time. It feels so good to be free of her....sometimes I see pictures of her pop up on my Facebook as we have mutual friends.....and I feel nothing...I'm not even attracted to her anymore. I'm writing this thread not to boast, but remind everyone that you will be happy again. Things that helped me: I took up running, this helped me to rid my body of the anger & frustration I was feeling, plus you get the endorphin high during/after you run. Also feeling yourself getting fitter/setting yourself new challenges and beating them is such a great self esteem boost. I starting reading Wayne Dyer books/listening to his lectures. This might not appeal to everyone but he appeals to my spiritual nature and helps me see the bigger picture. I made an effort to increase my social circle/hang out with old friends again. This is something that I has neglected for a long time, but having events on with mates it's such a great way to start enjoying your life and meeting new people. I worked more, not only are you occupying yourself but you're bringing more money in...can't be bad! Yes I still think about her, maybe once a day. But it's not painful, it's just slight frustration that she threw away something that was really good, but I soon let go of the feeling and get on with my day, recognising that I was 50% of what was so good and I'll be 50% of my next relationship. Keep going, you're going to be just fine. Get out there and do the things you've always wanted to do, it's so cliched but it's true. I know it takes a lot of energy but it's so rewarding building a new improved life for yourself. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
fireflywy Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Awesome! Hopefully some of our new posters read this. Like you, I'm getting to that point too. I still have a little way to go and I'm sure I'll get knocked down a bit when I finally see her with her new guy, but I also know I'll get back up. Here's to you friend...
