Support

[Fall1224]

It has been about 6 weeks since my boyfriend broke up with me. It has definitely been a rollercoaster of emotions & still is to some extent. Although, I think I’m becoming more accepting of the situation. However, I thought more people would reach out to me to see how I was doing. Maybe I’m being selfish & overthinking. I know I have support & can reach out myself, but I thought they would text me more. I don’t know. I think I’m overthinking this. And I feel so alone, even when I’m around people. I feel an outsider. Like I don’t ever really fit in.

I felt like that when my daughter was sick. I've been a part of a writers group for a long time, and I'd thought that they would check in with me. But nope. I don't even want to speak to them anymore now. I think sometimes people are wrapped up in their own lives and forget to ask. It's in these moments you learn where to draw strength from. There's been a lot of kind people on here that have restored my faith in humanity.

I know how you're feeling. I've been there feeling isolated makes everything harder. I'm sorry you're feeling this way.

Thank you for understanding. I just feel kind of selfish for thinking this way because I do have support and I know people are busy. I just thought some important people in my life would check in on me more.

how are you doing?

[Fall1224 in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

I’m hanging in there. I definitely have my moments - still trying to process everything and not blame myself or anything. How have you been doing?

[litethatnevergoesout in reply to Fall1224]

I usually say hanging in there but you took that one already. I’m having a hard time with everything. hurting honestly. thanks for asking.

You’ll pull through.

I’ve been struggling too - just a lot of questioning and self-doubt right now. Anxiety about the future too. It still doesn’t feel quite right or real to be honest. But I’m trying to stay positive, let go and move forward.

[Fall1224 in reply to Fall1224]

What has been going on? Do you want to talk about it?

[litethatnevergoesout in reply to Fall1224]

it’s very hard to let go. it takes alot of bravery. moving forward into a future that brings anxiety is brave too. dealing with loss is the most difficult thing to endure. very disruptive and traumatic being in a situation you don’t want and didn’t ask for. have hope for better days to come.

[Fall1224 in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

Same to you - I hope you find comfort and peace during this time of struggle. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

[litethatnevergoesout in reply to Fall1224]

thank you. and you are welcome, I’m usually always here.

Been there. I have friends but nobody really checks up on me. I realize that is my fault. When I'm down or am feeling a certain way. I just keep it to myself and suffer in silence. When someone does ask me how I'm doing. I lie and say I'm fine.

That's because I don't trust people.

It's possible you are overthinking it. We now approaching the next string of holidays. So people's minds may be else where.

It could also be that maybe they didn't think the relationship was that serious. Depending on how long you and your ex have dated. But of course you feel differently. Even if the relationship was for years or just a couple of months. Breakups hurt. They are not fun. Sometimes depending on how the relationship was...it can take a piece of you.

It's okay to reach out and tell your friends that you aren't doing so well. It'll be nice of them if they call on you from time to time to check on you. Give people a chance to help.

Wish you healing 🫂❤️
