Can't sleep - relationship ended

[BigBessie]

I'm so incredibly sad. My boyfriend of one year has ended. I know it doesn't sound long but as a single parent I waited 20 years to get involved with someone. I concentrated on bringing my kids up. And waited until my youngest was a teenager until I started dating again. I feel such a fool. And I feel bereft. I think maybe I am destined to be alone.
Thanks for reading x

Hi @BigBessie
Sorry you're going through this.
A year or even a month is time i have spent with someone and have invested my feelings in so i totally understand.
I know it's very raw at the moment, but please know you're not alone, i have had some really crappy heartbreaks.
Focus on yourself, for me getting into my fitness, looking good, feeling great really helped. Plan to go for a jog or gym workout, it will distract you, hope you feel better xx

@BigBessie and don't give up, you will find love, you're not destined to be alone xx

Thankyou so much for your lovely replies. Thankfully I am a member of a really lovely club (gym) so I can now lift/class/sauna/swim to my heart's content

A year is definitely long enough to be heavily emotionally invested. I'm very sorry you're going through this. Time will help x

I feel like that at the start of the year after a shortish relationship. I’m totally fine now and couldn’t care one bit. I felt like that as I’ve stayed single for 8 years for my daughter but there’s many people in the world.
