Before you read this, yeah I'm gonna try to go to the gym. I'm still working up the energy to do literally anything, but I'll get there soon.
I made a thread about it a while back — TLDR is I was getting married in December and my fiance dumped me and moved back home two hours away out of the blue about a month ago.
I've been on a rollercoaster since then. I did everything I knew to do. I deleted her number, blocked her on social media and threw out everything that reminded me of her. She got ahold of me and convinced me to try long distance til we both got ahold of ourselves, but that didn't last more than a couple weeks. It's really over now and deep down, I'm glad it is. We haven't had any contact for about a week now.
That said, it's really started to sink in the last few days, and I'm honestly struggling pretty bad. I started therapy Monday and I know it'll help, but that's a slow burn. I moved where I am now about two and a half years ago, and I met her almost immediately after that. I never really made more than a few good acquaintances here and I know the isolation doesn't help. I genuinely want to try dating other people, but I know I'm not ready for that. Just about everything I see reminds me of her, and I'm so sick of that.
I've made plans every weekend for the past month; tomorrow, I'm going to see my folks back home and I'll stay there a couple days. I don't really want to be in my empty apartment by myself all weekend.
I never really had a relationship this deep before. I guess she was my first love, and I don't really know how to proceed from here. How did you all handle getting over someone you felt that attached to? How long did it take? I've read a million articles but they all pretty much say the same thing.
