Why does breaks up take so long to get over?

This person just circles my mind 24/7.. and it's been a little under 2 weeks

It's a process not an event.

@Karmalives hey Long time

@Donotfolowme Well hello there.

@Karmalives On another note your username may explain why things didn't work out 🤔
Because they're just disturbing and upsetting. But sometimes it's really not that we're upset about the breakup. We're upset because we thought we had something we didn't. And in that case, you get over it real quick when you realize that.
@MoonlightLullaby No, it does not. I went through that, but one way I found my way out, was telling myself certain truths about the situation. That one particular truth for MYSELF, helped me find my way back. That's not always the case for others. But sometimes it is. It was rough. I had to heal from a narcissist. I really had to do my homework in healing. It took a year and two months. I'm so sorry you're hurting. I hope you feel better soon. Some victims of narcissism, never heal. Never find their way out. ❤️❤️🤗

@LadyGrace I understand that process well, as I did the same thing; finding myself after losing myself, in a sense. I'm no longer hurting over that instance though, because I realized I heavily romanticized a person who was really nothing after all. It felt good to let that one go.🌟
@MoonlightLullaby oh honey I did the same thing and I'm so glad you realized that. But I sure hate it cuz you got hurt. Yes, I had to come with terms that all along, he was emotionally unavailable. Yet he played me on and made me believe he was so in love with me but he wasn't because he was not capable of loving anyone. I'm so happy to hear you're not hurting over him.

It's a grief process and everyone handles it differently. I'm sorry you're hurting.

It is mourning. It is mourning the loss of the relationship and even if you were happy/relieved to get out od it the process will take time. It is like a death and that takes at least a year, possibly longer.
@MasterDvdC That's exactly right.

@MasterDvdC Now that you mentioned it.. I never did grieve my brothers death, sure I cried when I heard it but I didn't mourn or anything.. I wonder why that is

It's the mourning process
You've lost something dear you had hopes for and that's normal

Time heals all
Beautiful thing about life is your heart will beat again for something just as special you've yet to have.

Two weeks, you should be out banging yourself silly
Because often they are not a mutual decision
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
It's literally like mourning 😢
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@SW-User The acceptance of what is and isn't is a must. So we mourn as long as need be.🖤

@MoonlightLullaby Exactly. What bothers me is that sometimes it takes longer, and in the process, depressed thoughts can really mess people up. It's why I really try to encourage others.
@MoonlightLullaby Yes. It IS mourning. We lose ourselves and have to find out way back. I pray you heal soon. But it can't be rushed.

Its pretty fresh and depending on how long u 2 were together, it's gonna take even longer. The important thing is that you're allowing yourself to go through the motions and not dismissing your pain..grieve the loss but try not to allow yourself to go way under ya know? Close friends and family will be especially important during this time.

There were times when I felt like I wouldn't get over them and that I would be heartbroken forever and then... time passes..just like that! You start to heal and it feels less painful eventually. You'll find that you don't cry at the memories as much, that song doesn't overwhelm you anymore, you see them and don't get angry or bitter anymore because you're healing and slowly letting it go...you might find you even learn a thing or 2 about yourself during the process and that's ok! Just as long as you get better.

So...don't beat yourself up too much and even though it's an incredibly cliched statement, TIME really does heal those wounds!

All the best.

@Alifeinterrupted That's.. pretty inspiring actually, reading that just gave me the tiniest bit of hope

It takes time because you care.I hope you feel better soon.
Wiseacre · F
Because our hopes for the future with this person is gone. Very painful..takes time to heal.
Fairydust · F
Best to get over them before you break 😌
Maybe not in all cases, but I think it depends on how much time you shared with the person.
MARTAisback · 22-25, F
It's best to stay single, that way people can't hurt you 😔
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
2 weeks is not very long at all to get over someone
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F

MarijuanaAbuser · 26-30, M
