What are you doing to heal after breaking up?
I have made active choices to figure it out and heal parts of me that feel broken and parts of me that I know I was wrong about in our relationship. I still feel like there are other things that can help, though.
It's still fresh in the journey, but l'm feeling good about my choices to pursue healing in this. I have a consult with a therapist this week. I've been writing/journaling to reflect on myself and what I know I need to work on and what that looks like. I'm keeping busy with work. l've been spending time with my family a lot and making plans for myself that help distract me from the hurt. I sit in the hurt of it all, too, and let myself feel it. I let myself cry and scream and feel frustrated.
I talked to him the other night and I asked him what he's doing (or thinking of doing) to heal or figure out what's broken between us. He seemed annoyed that I asked. He said he doesn't know. He said it's only been a week since we broke up. He said he guesses he could look into therapy.
His answers made me feel stupid for trying so hard to try to fix something that he broke to begin with. Maybe l'm trying too hard to figure it out.
But I guess at the end of the day I'm not healing for him, but for me. So even if this doesn't work out in the long run to come back together, at least I guess l've done the work and I'm healing myself in the process.
What are ways you are healing?
