Have you ever been brokenhearted?

i had a devastating breakup right after the death of a parent. Had more grief than i could handle. It’s how i found this place. It’s hard to put this part of my life into words

I was pretty angry and didn’t understand everything i was going through so i cut it off like i would an arm or a leg. didn’t even try to cope with it. i just pretended like i never even dated him (denied the last several years). i threw out all his gifts and belongings, photos, emails everything. i even donated àll the clothing i owned while dating him and bought all new clothes at a thrift store — found some good deals btw... i remodelled my home (even though the funeral put me into a bit of debt) and reinvented as much of my life around me as i could. i made « physical » progress because i was not able to make any other kind. all these changes were a new chapter in my life that he had no part of and it didn’t recover my happiness at all but it did help me feel like i had SOMEthing.

Some guys who were helping with the reno’s started to take an interest in me. i rejected them because i hadnt had enough time to cope and i think in retrospect, they had no idea the calibre of my suffering even though they were aware of what happened. i suffered for many years. i may never complately heal.

Yeah I have I was married once and my ex wife abused me quite badly and it tore my world apart so I moved on to a new relationship thinking that would make me feel better but I did not take in to account the scars that had been left behind by my Ex wife and that relationship failed and for 2 years I pretty much lived as a recluse in my house because of the depre4ssion and anxiety that my wife had left me with but |I got over it when my Nephew was born I realised by looking into his little eyes that there is life after something like that and I'm now in therapy and am over my heartbreak now my ex wife tried to destroy me but she failed and now I'm stronger than ever

All the color drains out of the world. It's gray and cloudy every day. When the phone rings and it's not who you pray it will be, your heart breaks again. You have no interest in food, or in anything else. You either can't sleep or can't wake up.

What I did was drink alcohol. I was stupid. Alcohol depresses you more.

What works is time and taking care of yourself by exercising and eating right. Make yourself be active and engaged with family and friends. Stay connected. If you don't want to destroy photos, letters, keepsakes, pack them up and ask somebody else to store them for you so you can't obsess and keep reopening the wound.

It feels like it will kill you at first, but it won't. You'll see.

I felt like I was going to die. I didn't want to start over, I didn't think I could, so death seemed like the best option. But I just did what I had to do, and here I am. Not dead. Hooray. 😑

Death of someone very close to me. It’s been 3 years now and I still feel the pain I felt when I was with them the moment they took their last breath. I don’t know about others or what’s considered normal when it comes to grieving, but how could I move on? He was all I had for a father and was a huge part of my world and one of the only reasons I felt happiness. When he left it destroyed what I had left of a soul and drove me deeper into depression. I honestly don’t see how other people move on. I will always carry this pain and will always feel this emptiness.

There’s [b]only[/b] one cure for a broken heart. Time

Well with me I felt many emotions anger,sadness,regret you just feel like an emotional train wreck the way I got myself over it was I found things to occupy my mind to get my mind off of it because when you are left to think about it and ponder on you it just keeps haunting you so I occupied my mind with other things I found music worked well for that

Well it hurts that’s for sure. Eventually it just goes away. All a matter of willpower or some shit like that.

Yes still am to this day
