No contact works

No contact really does work. Not in the sense of getting my ex back. I don't expect to ever hear from him again. But to help me move on. If you are struggling with coping with a break up, no contact will help. No calling, texting, emailing, or stalking on social media. Each day gets easier. I have realized that taking care of myself is important. I can't control my ex's behavior and choices, but I can dang sure take care of me.

Self-esteem restored! Control of life (as much as one can theoretically control it) back!

Thank you, this is a great post and very much needed for those who are struggling and will struggle in the future. I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Keeping going and don't ever look back.

I'm doing good with NC so far, minus the 'stalking on social media' part. Sigh.

Not looking at my ex and his new girlfriends Facebook pages was the hardest part for me. I blocked them so I wouldn't be tempted. Every time I would look I would get so depressed. It takes a lot of self control, but it's totally worth it! That's when I really started feeling like myself again.
