This is a scary feeling

Day 9 and I still have this feeling inside of me. Everyones telling me this will all take time. I think a part of it is that I still somehow miss him but I'm almost at a point where I feel like i will be feeling this forever. This internal feeling of something where I know its like a feeling of scared and being worried for feeling too much. Does that make sense.I say scared of being scared...I give an example. Like not being able to sleep so when my mind is a little clear, all i can think about is feeling like I will have trouble sleeping. I can;t seem to shake this off. I'm really scared of being stuck in this spot. I feel like I will be stuck in this feeling forever. No one seems to understand. I feel like i'll drive myself to insanity...does anyone understand what I mean. I have all the support in the world right now..but I can't seem to see the drive and motivation to shake myself out of this whole feeling. I am not focused and get annoyed and irritated very easily. I feel this overload of emotions and feelings..to the point where i feel suffocated. Am I still grieving for him..when I clearly say I'm not. I'm worried on my well-being is what I'm saying. perhaps this is a whole new feeling for me. something with control and fixated the fact that I can't get passed this eventhough I want so dearly too. All I feel is this bad feeling inside of me all the time.

Please help!

thanks,
winnie

Ah, I didn't realize this was your first breakup.


I can't imagine feeling the desire to meet someone else so soon after a serious relationship has ended, or even a few months down the road.
