Weepy

[indysteel]

I just got a call from my best friend. She's hiking with her new-ish boyfriend this week along the Oregon Coast. She was going on and on (as well she should) about how beautiful it is, how much fun they're having, how great he is, etc. I finally had to stop her because I was starting to lose it, and now I'm in a full-blown trying-not-to-cry at work pityfest.

In short, I'm still heartbroken about my breakup in August. I've come a along way, but it still hurts. I tell myself that it's better that we're not together. He was close but no cigar, but if nothing else, I miss the idea of being with someone. It certainly doesn't help that it's been raining here for several days, I've worked like a dog all week and that I desperately need a vacation. I don't begrudge my friend her happiness, but it's hard to witness sometimes.

I'm trying to keep this in perspective, but I'm feeling blue. I better go to yoga tonight.....

No response needed really; I just needed to express how I'm feeling.

Thanks.

How about a virtual hug? {{{{HUG}}}

Hope you feel better soon.

Learn and grow where you are (and go to yoga) ... and have a hug...

BE STRONG

GROW

MOVE FORWARD.... probably you don't need to hear this but... you're worth your measure in titanium (or carbon frame ) with or without someone to be with. Read your own signature

As mature as I am and as many relationships and friendships I've have lost, break ups are still so hard to get through. I know there is nothing I can say to help you other than I hope time will heal. I've been dealing with my own lost of a friendship. It's basically been over for a year but it still hurts to think about it. Just I know everyday it's alittle easier (not much I grant you that but I can see someday I will be over the jerk... um I mean "friend").

Try to do things you enjoy and will take your friend off your loss. I know for me, late nights, when I try to sleep are the worse. I've been trying to get through it by having a good book nearby. Once my thoughts drift to him I pull out the book and start reading. My mind calms down and I can sleep.

Anyway hang that. We can try and get through this together.

Indysteel,
I'm sorry you're suffering. Heck i'm weepy because I won't see my DH for 2 weeks. Is that pathetic or what?
he's going to be bicycling in the Phoenix area and i'm going to Italy. and I feel so lonesome because he's far away.

I hope you can fill your time with some fun distractions. that helps.

It does take some time to get out of the weepy stage. I still remember when I had broken up with a very serious longterm guy. I hated being single.

After awhile though, I loved it. There was a lot there to make it enjoyable. Give yourself some time. Of course you're going to long for some parts of coupledom, but after a while you will start realizing the joy in being single, and there's alot of that!

Having learned to fully love my singleness, I finally met a guy and had a really hard time adjusting to coupleness too, so it works both ways!
