For the first time in my life, I was open about my feelings after a breakup with a friend

We walked around and I cried like an idiot and told her everything. It really helped me a lot.

I am still hurting badly but it felt good to have her validate my feelings. I've never been strong enough to tell someone before, it was embarrassing but I hurt too much to care, and if I was left alone I probably would have done shitty things to myself

And I just can't be doing that shit anymore. Anyway, I teach this morning so hopefully I can sleep a bit more. I am feeling very raw and unprepared haha. At least my headache is gone

I fell asleep with a bag of frozen blueberries on my head haha

I hope it was good to get out those feelings and, possibly, cathartic. Sometimes you need to let those things out with the person immediately affecting you, as otherwise, you'll bottle them up and cast yourself in ways you shouldn't. I've been hurt by friends before, and I've never been able to truly address them with them.

My saving grace, for me, is I always have tried with partners. If I hadn't, I'd be an entire wreck emotionally.

Now take that bag of blueberries under your head, knowing you took a step in healing. 💙
