Funny bunny Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 The continuum of life around me and daily routine of every day is really eating away at me. Everyone just chats away about trivial matters while my chest aches for my loss and I crave emotional intimacy. I need to change up my work schedule because it’s too still. Too routine. I know I’m just thinking about myself and being self centered. SO I just requested to change shifts I signed up for counseling I am going to find a new hobby. Gonna hang out with friends every chance I get! 11 days NC 1
MissBee Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Hang in there! The steps you've taken are really great. This is a process of grief and believe it or not grief literally affects your brain chemistry and takes a toll on your body so feeling physically ill, having chest pains, not sleeping etc aren't melodramatic, but a very normal and real part of going through heartbreak. Be gentle with yourself and take care as best you can and be around people who care and can make you feel not so alone and make you smile. It does get better, it just really sucks though for a while.
ElKay Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 What has helped me was also meeting new people, not necessarily dating-wise, but just some new people to create new memories that weren't there while you were dating. For example, hanging out with my friends reminded me how I had failed them (in my mind) by not having been able to keep my relationship going. New people don't come with those reminders and you can kind of start of with a clean slate.
