As I talked about in one of my previous threads, my girlfriend of over 2 years broke up with me about a month ago. I had tried to hold on to the hope that this was a passing thing but yesterday she told me was dating someone (which I felt was somewhat fast
but that's another story). I know that I need to move on, and I'm trying to limit contact with her as much as possible (I don't think I'm mature/strong enough to just cut it off completely, she means too much to me as a friend) but now it seems that the problems are coming from me.
Everywhere I look is something that reminds me of her. For example, I went grocery shopping last night. Over the speakers the entire time I was there they played a song that we had deemed 'our song' on repeat. Needless to say I was a mess trying to figure out which soup to buy. So I get home and grab a refreshing drink to clear my mind and make me feel better. Of course it just happens to be the soda brand that she introduced me to. Strike 2. After that i do a little studying for a midterm I have today, which I couldn't concentrate on at all and will probably fail, and climb into bed. I reach for a blanket as it's a pretty cold night and of course it's the one she got me last Christmas.
That pretty much did it for me, the rest of the night I was a wreck. I know it's going to take time but I'm afraid that with these constant thoughts of her I'll never properly move on. Does anyone have any similar experiences and maybe some tips to help me move on and try and put this episode in the past?
Thanks TFP. She was the one person I had who I could relay my problems to, and now that they involve her I don't really have anyone to confide in and it's just building up and making me feel awful all the time, but you guys have been here for me with advice and for that I truly appreciate it. Thanks again!
