Feeling really low after breakup

[crochetmonkey74]

Ugh it is Saturday night and my break up isnt even recent (8 months ago) but feeling terrible tonight and this past week. It's like the grief has come back. I love this time of year but feel like I cant enjoy it at all as I'm finding the weekends so hard again recently. I think work distracts me all week , then I wake up on a Saturday and theres just this gap. Saturday night just feels lonely. I do all the normal stuff, I meet friends, I do hobbies etc etc but eventually, when you come in and shut that front door its lonely again.

Nothing constructive to add but I am going through very similar emotions right now. I'm 11 months on.
Thought I'd made real leaps forward. Id felt fine and even positive about the future.
I work away a few days then go home and its dreadful. I'm due back home tomorrow after work and dreading it.

red that's the feeling I have and I'm frustrated. Before DP I LOVED living alone but now I am bereft . I'm do desperate to get back to this, or to meet someone to fill the gap. I too have moved on, felt positive about the future, started dating, then this week it has hit me all again

I'm also exactly 8 months broken up now and although I'm no longer crying (since about July), I feel very low in myself and have lost interest in a lot of what I used to enjoy. Like you, I'm not so bad during the week, but I find Saturdays hard. What makes it worse for me is that he's returned to a mutual hobby club where I don't feel up to that, certainly not at the moment. I put my best face on but people don't really know how I'm feeling. I had 2 sessions of counselling and am thinking of maybe returning, although people have told me it could take a year to feel 'normal' again.

Tea I have had a lot of therapy this year, as had 2 large bereavements as well as the break up and it has helped me. I feel the same as you with the losing interest in everything. I think it doesnt help that everyone is a bit traumatised and low due to Covid so I feel unsure how to judge my feelings in relation to others

Saturdays were really hard for me the first couple of years. I volunteered at my local rspca and that really helped.

Yes I am volunteering somewhere starting soon, it's just when that door shuts. I used to always look forward to getting home but now its just a place to feel lonely
