Thanks, it definitely does. I'm going to try and pick back up journaling. I used to do it more and enjoyed it - the reason I haven't lately is because it feels like all I can write are negative things and I hate that. but today feeling a little bit better, so gonna try and go for it.

you are totally right, and i know it's normal to feel this way. i'm just missing him like crazy and it sucks to know that he's off having a grand time with his roommate while i'm scrambling to take my mind off it. just doing my best to deal with the situation!

I recently (as in, a couple weeks ago) was dumped out of the blue by a guy i'd been seeing for a few months and felt extremely connected to. I've been in relationships before, but this one i've definitely taken the hardest and have struggled to feel better. It's made it extra hard because he lives very close to me and everywhere I go it reminds me of him. I even ran into him on the street last weekend which was extremely awkward. I want to push through this and build new memories and do fun things to take my mind off it, but I live in New York where it's currently freezing outside, and a

I did think about that... when I asked him if he'd experience this in previous romantic relationships he said no. But he's also not had a girlfriend for the last 6 years so maybe it has happened but there was less of a spotlight on it so he didn't notice. I don't think he's the type to lie, he seemed genuinely at a loss in trying to explain himself. It sounded like the only time that it has happened in the past and he was able to get past it was when it happened with family - but because he has no other choice. When I asked why he wouldn't think to approach things differently since runni

Thanks for sharing all that! I know you're totally right. Nice to hear about your similar experience. Helps me not to feel crazy for being such a mess after just a few months! I've always been someone that puts my whole heart into it when I really like someone. It doesn't happen all that often but when it does it is just so crushing when it doesn't work out. This one being particularly jarring since I didn't see it coming and I can't relate to people who can switch their opinion/emotions on a dime like he did. Happy to hear it worked out for you in the end 🙂

I know you're all right, thanks for the kind notes! it's just such a hard pill to swallow when things were going so well and it feels like it ended over nothing. I can of course logically recognize that if it's turned into this kind of mess it's not nothing and maybe for the best, but it doesn't the change the fact that I miss him like crazy and feel so much pain inside. I just wish there were something I could do to get things back to how they were. I've not spoken to him for 2 days now and it feels like a year. My thoughts keep wandering to whether he's thinking about me too and if he'll rea

I'm new to this forum and hoping to get some guidance. I started seeing a guy a little over 2 months ago, we are both 27. We hit it off right away, and loved spending time together. When I had to go out of town, we would facetime nearly every day (most of the time he initiated) and he would make comments about how fast the time would go by and that he liked me. After about a month we slept together and it was great - we continued seeing each other. A couple of weeks ago I started to experience a bizarre pain issue in my face that turned out to be a root canal, and in trying to figure out the p
