How did you get over your breakup?

It feels like I am drowning. I came home and they had taken everything of theirs out while I was at work. I want so desperately to talk to them, and now I have my final confirmation that it is dead and done. I wish they would just knock on the door. I need to accept that this is it but I just can't let that thought sink in or it will anchor me down for good.

Time. Cheesy as it sounds, time is going to help you a lot. Focusing on your own growth also helps a lot, and it will help you realize why you and your ex broke up. For me, it was us growing differently. What it will be for you is something only you can know.
The 60 day no contact rule is also helpful. No blocking, no stalking, no liking posts and no sending birthday texts until you are healed. When you feel like you don't feel the need for their validation, meaning you don't care if they reach out or not, that's when you can start reaching out to them again.

Hang in there!

It depends on your connection with the person.

In some ways it never ends, if the person was truly meaningful to you.

In other ways if you come to realize they weren’t all your mind had cracked them up to be. They become dead to you in a way.

And then there’s the in between where even if they meant the world to you, you still find a world of your own along the way.

I read somewhere that you don’t really ever get over heartbreak, but instead you get through it a little at a time. Those words really resonated with me. It made me realize that I’m not going to just wake up one morning and be all over it, and that’s ok
You have to learn to be happy with yourself. Living for someone else's approval will only cause you to die (emotionally) at their disapproval.
If you want to chat privately,
I've been where you are, but I made it through. PM me if you want to chat privately. I'll help where I can. No strings, I promise.
I don't know what to tell you. Been there and this spot you are in, right now is so difficult and devastating. Relationships are complicated.
