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 💓❤️🫶🏻

Time really helps, as does going no contact. It’s very very hard in the beginning but you have to cut them off so you can heal yourself. I ignored everyone who told me that until one day I realized I didn’t even want to get back with them so what’s the point of staying “friends”.
