I have. But it took literal years, I think about 3 or 4 years to completely get over it.
For sure, same here. Maybe longer. Looking back it was for the best that things ended, but boy did it suck at the time.
That's a very long time.
It can be. But also don't be hard on yourself if it does take a while. It's okay if it does. It's also not as intense for as long.
Maybe a therapist would be helpful as somebody you can vent to and help you through it.
Thanks, I have an appointment next month. It's tough in the interim.
Glad to hear! Hopefully you find it helpful (if not find someone else).
But you come out the other end a stronger person than you were before.
I think so too.
I've had past experiences with this type of stuff. It gets easier over time, with time being key.
