1 year post breakup

[Jmk21]

Hey fellow heartbroken souls. I just want to tell you that things do indeed get better and I would like to share how my life got better.

 

Aug2012 was my dday and boy was I at my lowest low in my entire life, I fell extremely deep. I lost 25lbs, All my motivation was gone and I was left emotionally dead staring at the world like it was a mean and cruel place.

 

I stayed single for an entire year to get over my ex. During that time I only had one fling/ fwb lasting from nov-feb and we would see each other like once a month. I befriended a girl and she became my best friend during this time and it was my first strictly platonic friendship. This probably saved me honestly.

 

During this time I learned to be happy for myself and learn how to pave my own path through the world. I went through a weird selfish stage come spring/early summer but it faded fast. the pain can last awhile and have ripples that will still affect how you are 6 months later.

 

After not going on dates for 8-9 months and finding myself I finally started dating again and met a woman that I genuinely get along with and I could not be happier.. It makes me wonder where she was hiding my entire life. She does have a 2 year old boy which I wasn't sure about but I won't hold her to her past ,we all have one right?

 

So the cliffs for everyone out there who skips the read

 

Go through your stages. Get it out and get yourself ready

You WILL find solid ground to get back up on I promise you.

Find yourself ASAP.

Learn to make yourself happy and to be happy without anyone else there(rebound)

Get your butt out into the world again

 

The rest will fall into place eventually I promise

 

Stay strong everybody. I know it's hard but hang in there
