Getting Over a Breakup (midwest.social)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

65 comments fedilink hide all child comments

How have you successfully gotten over a breakup? I did not end the relationship and it was the most significant of my life. I feel confused and trying to understand why. I'm not sleeping well and my anxiety has decided to resurface. I'm ruminating. I don't have many people to go to about this. Please don't say I will find someone else, because I can't go there right now. And I know it won't happen anyway.

I moved on tremendously from my first break up by taking shrooms and crying about every little detail to a friend for 6 hours. The next day I felt normal. The next week I felt half as bad as originally. My normal grieving period is about 3 months to 3 years, average is somehow 3 weeks.
