People who have survived heartbreak…how’d you do it?
It’s been a week since the person I love told me they realized they don’t love me back after 8 months together, and that they still love their ex from before me. I oscillate between devastated and enraged—both with lots of crying.
If you’ve survived a heartbreak, how did you do it? Were you able to love again? Be happy again? When did it stop hurting so bad? Is there another side to come out on?
Love to all 💓❤️🫶🏻

Well I just got broken up with a month or so ago and it hurts like a motherfucker. I truly feel that she was the one for me and I'll never love again. But that's my heart speaking. From a rational perspective I know that I have experienced these feelings before during previous breakups and I recovered from those, and had other, even better relationships since. So I guess what I'm saying is that you will be able to love again (I know it doesn't feel like it atm) and be happy again. Promise. You just gotta sit through the pain for a while.
