Waking up...
| Thu, 06-03-2004 - 4:36am |
I'm 8 days in...some days have been easier than others, but when do you get to the point that when you wake up they are not immediately in your head?..It's not so bad when i go to sleep because I think I'v just exhausted myself throughout the day.. I just hate it, as soon as I open my eyes I'm replaying everything..when does this stop? I just want to feel peace.

Honestly, after about 10 mornings like that, I either got used to the feeling or just didn't even think about it. Time honestly does heal all and your life will change and mold to where his absense isn't as painful, just more familiar.
I'm sorry to hear about your pain, it really does suck!
But as was said before, we've made it through another day and will make it through another and another. And one day we won't even give these guys a second thought and we will be healed and will be ourselves again. But until than - cry as much as you need to, post until you can't type anymore, scream & yell and do whatever you need to get through the day.
I've only gone for 5 days so far.
Maybe I do have an answer after all....They say it takes at least 3 weeks to break a bad habit...so i'm thinking that it probably takes about 3 weeks at the very least to get over a guy. I guess i'll just start counting the days. and if by the end of three weeks, i'm still not over him, then i will start to worry.
Get up and get moving right away. Stay busy and try to remain positive for as long as you can - self assurance can do wonders. Talk to yourself out loud and reinforce your stregnths. I know it sounds crazy, but it helps. Instead of constantly feeling anxiety over our loss, it gets a little easier day after day. Sometimes it's the old cliche, "Two steps forward, one step back". I know I have A LOT of steps forward still - I'm in a deep depression now - but stay positive that it WILL GET EASIER.
I am in the same situation as you. It's been one week since my BF broke up with me, and still..no matter what...it is the very first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning. I don't know if it's because I feel like something is missing, if it's because I am dreading facing the day, or if I just can't wait to get back into bed at night...I don't know! Yes, for some reason the mornings are hardest for me, too. It's weird. All I can say is these things take time, and after a while it'll be OK and before you know it, you will be waking up in the morning thinking about nothing at all!
I remember those days that I would wake up thinking about him and dream about him all the time. They start dying down. I'm not sure when it was for me. I'm at 4 months now and yes I still think of him at least once if not more everyday but it isn't as upsetting anymore. It definitely is a process and it takes time so don't give up! I'm still going through the process, but I know I'll get there one day. I do like my life now. It gets lonely sometimes, but its ok you are use to someone always being there what do you expect? It is nice though because I have been making strides in the direction I want my life to go and I don't have anyone stopping me. So keep up the good work ladies!
