luck1978 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I thought it would be useful for people to summarise their emotions month by month to give others a reference and to check progress. My breakup consisted of a blind sided breakup from my wife - married 6 yrs am moving into month 5 and generally feeling much better than month 1- which is progress! Each emotion I experienced may have been quick or lasted sometime, but on the whole I have been able to function normally and do my best to heal through all the advice mentioned in this site. What is clear that the stages of breakup are no way clear cut! Check out mine below: Month 1 Shock and trauma, anxiety, denial, confusion, obsessing, sleeplessness, anger Month 2 Sadness, bargaining, anger, anxiety, obsessing, decreasing sleeplessness, some denial Month 3 Sadness, anger, emerging acceptance, bargaining, variable obsessing, stabilising sleep- normal sleep pattern coming back, emerging enjoyment (doing new activities, socialising) Month 4 Increasingly Stabilising emotions, sleep pattern normal, slight decreasing sadness (variable) growing acceptance, variable obsessing, decreasing anger, increasing enjoyment of socialising and trying new things emerging hope... Note I have ended with emerging hope and sure this will continue... Edited January 27, 2016 by luck1978
