Anyone else going no contact with someone they are trauma bonded to? Shall we support one another? Today is Day 1 and I am struggling...

Yes, me!

Mine has been so toxic, and I'd managed just over a month without any contact, other than driving by each other (work close by), but unfortunately he approached me yesterday twice, and again this morning, so back to square 1 for me.

Best of it is, he doesn't even want anything from me, he doesn't want to get back with (I don't think) he just doesn't want me to move on with my life.

Happy to support you through this horrible time.

Not sure if mine is that but been on/off with gf for 3 months as she tries to work out if she wants me or ex and every time she says jump I say how high! She has not been abusive as such and I have allowed myself to be treated like this but pretty certain she will finally choose him this weekend so will be going no contact so happy to support on this together

My advice is to find a distraction, it has to be something new, otherwise it won’t hold your attention.

Also, if you are prone to checking WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram but not yet strong enough to block them, set yourself a challenge to not check it for x amount of hours, then x amount of days, then block when you feel ready.

Meet friends, talk to people, get everything off your chest.

Good luck 🤞🏼
