I had a really low day today. I couldn't get out of bed all day. It's been 2 weeks since our break up. I've had my ups and downs but today was really hard. I don't know why but my energy was completely zapped!

I was thinking of writing up the whole story of me and my ex. The good, bad and ugly. Then putting it away and not reading it for 6 months. I'm hoping that will me to stop obsession over the whole relationship.

Any thoughts?

Sure, why not try it? I find journaling to be very helpful during breakups, although I realize what you're proposing isn't quite the same thing.

You might try only putting away the good parts, though, and keeping the bad and the ugly handy to refer to ;-).
