How do you move on from a break up?

I've had so many experiences in relationships and have broken or been broken up with several times. I don't understand why this cut the deepest. It's so hard to move on. I feel stuck. It has been 2 weeks but it felt like forever. There are days when I feel like I'm getting through it and then not anymore. Also, I'm struggling not to stalk his socials.

Perhaps you were more attached to this one being there for the rest of your life more than you were the others before. It's not just the relationship that feels broken but the future as a whole?

I cannot say I have any solid advice for you. Things ended for a reason. Just because the future might be scarier now doesn't mean you cannot remember the good times fondly while trying to move forward. Wishing you the best.

@ViciDraco that makes sense because I did feel that with this one. But i'm starting to slowly realize that it happened for a reason. It's just hard on some days... Thank you!

@nym3ria Yeah. With time the hard days become fewer, but they'll still crop up for a while. It takes a lot of strength to keep the mind in charge of the heart, so you are doing well so far.

@ViciDraco yeah, gotta have that self discipline and self respect stronger than my feelings
