First ever heartbreak handhold

[Babyfeverrr]

Okay so young mums netter always loved reading on my sleepless new born nights, aibu to ask how you got over your first heartbreak? I feel like it's just never going to end I've cried I've been sick I've not slept ate all I can think about is him and her I need some words of wisdom to help my broken heart as pathetic as it sounds

You need a heartbreak playlist. A sad film. Cry it all out and then get in the kitchen and clean it whilst dancing around.

Distraction helps. Just be busy. Reach out to frienda

Second vote for distraction, give yourself a bit of time and then write a list of things you’re going to do to help make you feel better /at least feel a bit less awful even temporarily. They could be little treats, a new hobby, even trying OLD. Just something for you, whatever it is. Sorry OP, heartbreak is so tough. Take some comfort that you won’t feel like this forever

Thanks ❤️ it's horrible isn't it we've got a young daughter who I'm keeping it together for but these nights are so hard everything's so raw feel like someone's punched me in the stomach trying to refrain from calling and pouring salt in the wounds his new girlfriend will only answer 😩

How long ago did you find out/he left? You need time.

Sorry you are going through this :( tbh time is the only healer - right now it’s just grief you will feel. Keep focusing on your little one, I hope he is contributing to baby and planning to keep regular contact etc.

Sending best wishes to you, it will get better soon x

Oh you poor darling, yes - we've all been there and it hurts so badly at the time, I remember it well.

I can only recommend the usual things; soppy films to have a good cry over, inviting your BFF over for a girly sleepover and consuming a pint of Ben and Jerry's in one sitting!

I know it sounds twee, but I often think "this too shall pass", when things seem impossibly hard. It won't always be so raw, it won't always hurt so much. Take all the joy you can in your DD, enjoy the cuddles and know that she loves Mummy best!

I'm so sorry. The hurt will become less raw but I know that doesn't take away what you feel just now.
