Today i'm really feeling the sadness and loss of my breakup of two weeks (we dated 5 years). Still NC from either side. Some days I still feel the shock as much as when if first happened. Why is it one day I feel fine and the next it's like boom, it just hits me. I can't explain it. All I know is I'm really feeling the loss today. I want to wake up from this nightmare and go back to having him in my life, but I know I can't. Part of me just senses that he is still upstairs and will come down to give me a hug at any time (we used to work together). Honestly, it feels like he died. Needs some words of encouragment. :(

i'm so sorry. i'm feeling the same way too. like one day i'm fine and having fun with friends... and then the next day, i'm behind the wheel sobbing as i drive home from work. from what i hear, it just comes and goes in cycles and the good-bad shifts are natural. congratulations on the two-week NC; i can't say the same for myself (i'm currently at 0 days!), but after our last talk (posted under my "update to bad situation" thread) i feel more ready than ever to move on now that i've got answers


let's get through this together.

Hi mdrsfr,


Here's your previous posts in case someone doesn't remember your story:

The dull ache


Everything you feel is normal. Those ups and downs, good days and bad days are all part of the grieving process.
