I've been reading many of your posts and have taken great comfort in this board. It's assuring to know that I'm not the only one in the world going through this right now. Your stories hit close to home and I have the utmost compassion for all of you.
I also want to thank the CL for posting the breakup tips. Those have really helped me to stay on track and concentrate on healing. My mantra lately has been feel, deal, and heal. The good diet, excercise, journaling, and last but not least, NC, have been immensly helpful in my recovery.
I have been a strict advocate of NC for 2 weeks now. I've actually been broken up for three weeks this Saturday. Just when I think things are getting easier, something strikes me and I feel bad again. It doesn't help that he's finding creative ways to see or contact me. I've already asked that we not speak for a while, but he obviously hasn't been to this site! It's so funny how part of me desperately wants to see his name pop up in my phone and the other side wants to never see it again. I guess it's all a little teeter totterish right now.
I've already learned a great deal from this experience. I will never underestimate my strength again. I was so fearful of how I would handle all of this, and I surprise myself every day with my determination and persistence. I refuse to let this beat me! I wake up every morning and think of all of the things I'm thankful for. I don't think I've ever been so grateful in my life. Gratitude feels so pure and natural....a far cry from my phony un-authentic relationship.
So, cheers to new beginnings, re-connecting with old friends, making new ones, and becoming the people we were always meant to be.
Namaste.
