wendydarling Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) I am beyond stressed out today from trying to find an internship for my major for school. Most places are either looking for interns of ~1 year (my school only requires 120 hours, taking place over the semester) or just don't return my call. Being stressed out is making me upset because I miss having my ex there to tell him when I'm having an issue with something. He would always listen and come up with an out of the box suggestion. Don't worry, I'm not going to break NC. I'm just having a bad day and missing having someone to talk to about my day and all of the mundane and stressful things that go along with it. When I tried talking to my mom about it, all she said was, "Well, you don't have him anymore so you have to do that thinking for yourself" which ended up making me cry even more. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this little rambling mess; venting helped me feel a little better! Edited July 27, 2015 by wendydarling
aloneinaz Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 What you're experiencing is absolutely normal. Are you sticking to NC since the break up or how long has it been? For me and most people who've posted on this site, 30 days of NC and you really start to improve. Why? Cause you've broken the daily habit of contact with them when you dated. A relationship is a habit and we all know how hard it is to break them.
Author wendydarling Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 We've been broken up for 5 weeks today, and then he spent close to a month stringing me along and saying he was considering wanting to get back together. So there's actually only been NC for 10 days. I can't wait to get to 30 days, I would feel super accomplished then! I just wish this wasn't so hard sometimes.

Each day that passes in NC feel great though. It's one more step towards feeling better. In my case, after a month or two, I stopped counting nor caring. I knew I was WAY better off w/her out of my life... I then started to casually date again which helped me get out of the house and enjoy the attention of the opposite sex. It was good for my self esteem as well. It was a reminder that there are MILLIONS of people out there that are looking for their next great love too. You'll get there Hon, stay NC, don't spy on social media and block him and in no time, this will be behind you.
ravfour4 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Glad you came here to vent. When things go wrong you want to lean on someone and when that person is no longer there, it can make you face the harsh reality. Keep staying strong! Tomorrow will be better

Haha, I have no problem with that! He doesn't use social media Thanks, ravfour4! I'm so glad that I found this place that I can turn to instead of breaking NC when I am feeling low. It's helpful to realize that there are other people out there who can understand exactly what you're going through.
