Losing my strength to not break nc
| Wed, 01-13-2010 - 12:11pm |
Wow, the urge to reach out to him has been overwhelming today...what the hell? I was soooooo sure there is no way I'd break nc, but I even drafted an email. I haven't sent it though. OMG just when I think I'm good to go, it is like there is this force that says, OH NO YOU DON'T...you're not done torturing yourself yet....and just the other day I posted I'd rather light myself on fire than break nc. I don't think I will today...thank you for listening....I came here before clicking "send"....my sick little brain was wondering what the harm wouldd be in just saying "hi."

Try like the dickens to get out of your "emotional" head and get into your "practical" head. If you can't do that, then just walk away from the computer and phone and forbid yourself OUTLOUD from going near them until you get a grip.

I'm right there with you!
Don't do it, Free, Step away from the computer and go for a walk, or shopping, or out to lunch even if it's

Good you came here Free.
You're right...you are all right...and after I posted here, I got some lunch, read your responses and the drafted email is now deleted. The urge has passed, thanks to you all and the trace of dignity and strength that are hanging by a thread...but...they are still hanging!
The email was more than a hi...it was I miss your personality. I genuinely care about you and hope you have a happy life and would love to keep in touch as friends....blah blah blah...geez, writing that down here to you sounds pathetic. I don't want to be that pathetic, desperate girl again!
Who am I kidding? I can't be his friend.
It saddens me too, iddy, that I'm so strong and full of resolve one day and incredibly weak the next. That being said, I DID NOT break nc. I worked through it with your help and am moving on. I am making progress. I don't feel pain anymore...like real pain, you know? I'm just...ok with it all now...if I don't give in to my weaks blips...
My heart and head are still fighting, but my heart is running out of gas. If it wasn't, my post would have been about the fact that I'd already broken nc.
Coming here has helped me, once again...THANK YOU!!

Free === Good for you!
Every time you win the battle and avoid contacting X-AP the more strength you gain for the next time and the pain does become less and less each time.
Hi NB and Free
Kudos to you Free for sticking to NC. It shows you've grown from the experience and are replacing old behaviors with new ones. That is huge! Good for you!
NB, I think you
Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.
