Will this heartbreak get easier

[partyrings1]

My husband has left we've been together since we were kids I love him so much but he's gone and my life is in tatters. I'm in hospital after - message slightly edited by MN to remove detail - yesterday. I need some positive stories I cannot face life without him I don't think I'll ever meet somebody else, my life is over I just want him to come back to me

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I have been through heartbreak a couple of times and it's absolutely awful. From experience, yes, it does slowly get better and less painful each day. Don't put pressure on yourself to feel better, it will take time. Surround yourself with people who love and can support you. And perhaps maybe some counselling would help? It did wonders for me. Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery

Hi partyrings1,
We are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way, and that you've had such a tough run lately.
We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources.
You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. It's because of advice we took from the Samaritans that we have slightly tweaked your opening post, we really hope you don't mind, and we've moved your post to a rather kinder area of the site. AIBU sometimes gets you tougher answers than we might like. ;D
Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well. We're sure that the hospital will look after you well, and also offer some good people to speak to.
We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
Take care, everyone, especially partyrings1.

Sending you a handhold @partyrings1.
@Lulu2021 has given you some brilliant advice. I will echo them and say that it doesn't feel like it now, but it does get easier, I promise.

Are you still in hospital @partyrings1?

It will/does get better, OP. Promise! It’s not linear though so you’ll gradually get back to a balanced state but it’ll probably be a bumpy trajectory. Don’t let those bad days fool you - one day it really will be better. Takes time though. Be kind to yourself while you heal (physically AND emotionally).

Here for you, @partyrings1

Thank you everyone.

I am in a safe house at the moment until they have a bed in a psychiatric hospital.

I'm trying my very hardest to keep positive but my days are very dark right now.

It takes time, but you do heal. My heart was broken once and it took me two years!!! The main reason was bc we had kept contact. The best advice I can give, if you don’t have kids with this man, cut contact. It was just a bf for me, but when we cut contact I moved on. Now I look back and wonder why I let myself get so depressed after. He wasn’t right for me.

Things that help. Keep busy. Do things for you. Eat healthy and exercise. Meet friends.
