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 💓❤️🫶🏻

I usually spend time with family, cats, and friends. I talk out my feelings with friends and aIso in therapy. I enjoy my alone time to cry it out, paint, do some gardening, write poetry, listen to music and drown in it. I take cold showers every now and then. Lastly, I give myself 90 days to grieve and move forward. It’s a good amount of time to wake up and adapt to a new reality. There no time to waste by dwelling. Time doesn’t wait
