How do I stop beating myself up?
| Wed, 06-20-2007 - 4:17pm |
Its been a month after my boyfriend walked out on our relationship. I have many good days but bad ones too. I know this is normal and will be for quite some time yet, but how do I stop beating myself up about it? How do I stop self blaming? I know I was a good person and a great girlfriend but I keep thinking "if only I had done (or didn't do)", or maybe he didn't like this or that, or...whatever! Its only making things worse for myself. I want soooooo bad to let go and just walk away but this was really a shock--not something I was expecting and I care so deeply for this man. I know its over--I'm not living in fantasy, but how can I make this pain leave--FAST?! I'm sooo tired of thinking about him and dealing with this! Letting go is soo hard! How can I make it easier?

Hi sniglet1,
You 'talk back' to those negative thoughts.
