Am I better or am I just distracted

So for the past 5 days I've been staying with a friend going to the beach and drinking all day long and staying up till 2am watching movies all the while trying to work and I haven't had time to think about my break up and I've been feeling better ...I haven't cried in a few days but I still terribly miss her tomorrow will be my first day alone in a while and Im working online so I'll definitely be free most of the day I'm so scared thoughts of her and us will resurface and I'll end up back where I was last week on the other hand maybe I'm over her....so idk if I'm doing better or just distracted

This is part of the process. Some days, you'll be perfectly fine. Some days, you need whatever distraction works for you. And some days, you're going to have trouble breathing because it hurts so bad.

Over time, you'll have more days where you're fine, and your need for distraction will less, and the pain will be just a dull sense of loss in the background.

But it does take time.

@DunningKruger if I'm being honest this wasn't fun to read because of how true it seems...I want to fast forward to when I'm over her but ik that's impossible
So thank you I needed to hear this

@Anonym0usperson Life is hard. There are no shortcuts for somethings. But your situation will work out in time.
