I'm new here, and apologize for suddenly unloading on everyone. Mostly, I need an outlet right now, and from what I've read, you guys/gals seem cool.

Anyway, I have made it through the first 24 hrs+ since breaking-up with someone I loved. Okay, actually, he was my first love. I know, I know... I did it, so it should be easier. It still hurts though. And it hurts even more because it wasn't so much that he or I was the problem... just the distance between us (I mean that literally, as we had spent the past six months living 380 miles apart).

I cried through Easter lunch (and dinner) yesterday. And reflected a lot on the way home last night. And ignored his phone calls (though I am guilty of listening to the voicemail messages he left).

All I know is, thank God it's Monday and work is busy, so I can be distracted for now! I have a feeling I'll continue to have this numb/dazed approach for awhile. I guess I'll just focusing on surviving the next 24 hrs now.

my friend dumped her bf cuz it wasnt working out, and she is still devasted 6 months later because shes still in love with him. she just knows it wont work. they already tried being together twice. so i totally understand how hard it is even when youre the dumper.

just keep remembering WHY you did it. you will find someone who is everything youre looking for. youre doing the right thing by keeping busy. good luck!!
