Yuck so.
I broke up with my partner of a year exactly a week ago.
I've been handling it really well - we were long distance, so it's not difficult to cut them out of my day to day life. We still talk and are still friends etc. The night we broke up I pretty much had a breakdown, cried all night, self injured, mumbled to myself and rocked etc.
But the day after that, yup, dealing fine, keeping busy, keep my mind on other things, whenever I talk to them keep the conversation impersonal etc...

We have a few mutual friends.
She uploaded some pictures, some of which included my ex...
And I can't explain, it's just like, my stomach dropped? It's not exactly the end of the world. But it hurts. And the reason I've been keeping busy is that I can't stand being hurt. And now it's just kinda meh...

I suppose you are still feeling rather raw with it being only a week ago but it seems that you very have a positive attitude towards riding the storm and cracking on with things. I'm guessing it can only get easier from this point:)

I hope you feel better soon. Breaking up with someone can be really hard and it can be hard to sit down and process that things are changed.

I know that feeling. The best you can try and do is keep busy, you're doing well. It wil lessen over time. Stay strong.
