Resources for getting through a break up

0 replies

shadyzadie123 · 23/08/2019 06:27

My partner of the last 2 years has broken up with me. It's not completely unexpected, we love each other a lot but different life stages mean it's not going to work longer term.

I want to move forward in a healthy way, but I'm so conflicted. I'm heartbroken but accepting, part of me knows it has to end, part of me wants him back. Part of me is angry and hurt, part of me wants the best for him ... I feel anxious and empty and I know I need to work on/focus on me to get through this and build myself back up.

Has anyone come across any good resources, books that helped them recentre after a break up? I've been trying to find something that resonates with me, but the stuff I'm finding online is very focused on getting through it by being forgiving/grateful for what was (not quite there yet), being angry (I can't make myself hate him) or the whole jokey 'he's just not that into you' approach.

I just want to focus in on me and feel calm and peaceful in me, if that makes sense. Any suggestions are very welcome!
