Overwhelming sadness

[Aminuts23]

When does it get better. My ex ended things quite suddenly recently with no warning. I thought we were happy. He seemed happy. I was. It just hurts a lot, this is the second weekend without him. Last weekend I was a mess. I was doing ok tonight but now I just feel desperately sad. My heart hurts. I can see on FB he's had a great few days whereas I'm just miserable (I'm not going to block, I can't). I thought I was getting better but it's bedtime and we'd usually be together right now. I feel bereft 😢

I think Im at exactly the same point as you OP, last night was all bad dreams about him dumping me again. It seems to come in waves, doing better, memory in the face. It will get better for both of us because it has to.

Storm yes I think you are. I’m very up and down but feeling better than yesterday. Hope you’re doing ok

Hi Aminut
Going through something very similar to you, and it's been horrible
Gotta hang in there though and believe you will come out the other side.

Hi Molly, sorry to hear you’re going through it too. I’m bearing up ok tonight, much better than yesterday. How are you doing?

[Aminuts23]

My best work friend leaves tomorrow. She’s got me through some very dark times. Just thinking about it I’m weeping again. I don’t have anyone else at work to talk to like her. It’s hitting me hard. On top of that she will go and it will be Friday night ‘our night’. God I’ll be a mess

Do something different tonight that you wouldn't normally have done with him. Cinema? Go to a friend's?
What kinds of things do you enjoy doing alone?

I’m out with a friend tonight x

Hope you're feeling a bit better today. Have fun with your friend tonight x

userxx, I was thinking about you, hope you have a good time with your friend.

I also found it helps to think that your ex has moved aside so you have the chance to meet someone better in the future.

Go easy on yourself and good luck over the weekend.

I will thank you. I'm doing alright today but then I am very busy at work so that's good.
