Getting Over a Breakup (midwest.social)

How have you successfully gotten over a breakup? I did not end the relationship and it was the most significant of my life. I feel confused and trying to understand why. I'm not sleeping well and my anxiety has decided to resurface. I'm ruminating. I don't have many people to go to about this. Please don't say I will find someone else, because I can't go there right now. And I know it won't happen anyway.

I have. But it took literal years, I think about 3 or 4 years to completely get over it.

It can be. But also don't be hard on yourself if it does take a while. It's okay if it does. It's also not as intense for as long.

Maybe a therapist would be helpful as somebody you can vent to and help you through it.

Thanks, I have an appointment next month. It's tough in the interim.

Glad to hear! Hopefully you find it helpful (if not find someone else).
