Some days, i feel happy, and other days i feel completely lost. I miss the bubbly innocent version of myself who could enjoy little things without overthinking everything. This breakup has changed me in ways I never expected. I don’t understand why I struggle to feel genuinely happy why crowded places make me anxious or why I sometimes feel like I’ll never heal from this. Is it normal to feel this way after a painful breakup.

Today is 38th day of no contact

    thank you, i’m trying to focus on my studies and rediscover myself. some days are just harder than others, but i guess healing takes time.

      For context: took me 2 years to fully get over a 3 year relationship.

      By year 1 I was mostly healed, but my body was a mess and I just wasn’t ready for anything new.

      By year 2 I joined a gym, felt a bit better about myself and started dating again.

      People aren’t wrong when they say “gym up” for this kind of thing. I do think fitness can really accelarate your healing journey, and wish I’d started sooner
