My ex boyfriend broke up with me Sunday night, short term relationship of only 6 months. He was a classic avoidant which really triggered my anxiety. He said I am 'too much' but he would like to chat and check in with me once in a while. I declined this offer saying I don't think this is healthy. I agreed with him he was making the correct choice, however, I did text him asking questions and we had a phone-call Monday night where he heard me crying. I haven't contacted him since.
I spent the full day Monday and Tuesday sick to my stomach, crying, unable to get out of bed. This morning I woke up to a text from him, 'hey I hope you're feeling a bit better'. I blocked him.
I honestly now feel so elated. It is so nice to not be constantly checking my phone, waiting for him to text me, it is so nice to not have a knot in my stomach for the first time in 6 months. I feel like I can concentrate on me again, and my family, my friends, my career. I've started to think about the bad things about him and no longer feel I'm missing out.
What a change from yesterday where I literally felt like my heart was broken. I honestly now feel on a cloud today and have no interest in speaking to him ever again.
Is this normal? I have never had a break up that within two days I'm normal. They usually take a while for me to heal. Will this hit me again when I least expect it?
