Nerve Dating Confessions

How long has it been since the breakup? Don't put pressure on yourself to be a certain way or to do a certain thing, we all handle it differently. Honestly, watching movies in your pajamas is much healthier than, say, drinking a ton or doing drugs.

I was in the same position as you this past summer, and now I am happy being single and am excited to meet someone new, someone who is actually good for me, unlike my ex, when the time is right. Mourn, take your time to heal, but at some point start making active decisions to make yourself feel better/make progress. Attitude is a huge part of life, and success starts there. Remember that like you said, it's the best for both of you and the right thing. Life is full of surprises, relationship-wise and non-relationship related. This is could be a blessing in disguise, for lack of a better saying

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but it's been almost six months since we've broken up. I just still feel so heartbroken. Any time I try to lift my spirits, it just feels like a charade. It's exhausting enough having to pretend like I'm a normal person at work, so when I get home, I just want to crash. I just wonder how much longer I have to go through this feel of emotional exhaustion.

Find things to distract yourself with and don't think that you need to have a certain timeframe to get over this person. Talk to your friends about it, write shit here, write a journal, etc. I'm going on two years and I don't feel like I've truly fully recovered but that's fine. Good luck, op.

It's really kind of you to say those things. Very helpful. Thank you.

My pleasure.
