4 year relationship, house, pets, wedding booked etc, no children but had planned to TTC after the wedding. Ex ended things saying he wasn't happy and didn't want to try anymore. No idea if there was OW and don't want to know.
I've accepted he doesn't want to be with me and have been cracking on with moving forward - bought my own place, have my pets, going to therapy etc. Briefly went on dating apps but knew I wasn't ready so stopped that pretty sharpish.
Occasionally I feel excited about my life and getting my home how I want it, cooking nice meals, really taking care of myself and becoming happy again etc. But then I feel reminded by what I no longer have and I desperately miss my old life, home etc. I feel stuck and the moments of excitement feel hollow as I'm not on the path I wanted to be on.
I find my feelings get a lot worse the week before my period starts. I feel overwhelmed by my emotions, sadness and grief. Like it's all so pointless and nothing will help or get better.
Does anyone else feel their emotions become more heightened just before their period? What practical steps have you taken to counter act these moods? I don't know what to do or where to turn.
Thanks so much.
