Not the same thing, but when I ended a friendship of eight years, I spent over a year just thinking about them and like worrying they were gonna come back into my life, and I'd basically have to have these one-sided imaginary arguments about why they can't come back and how much I dislike them. There was also a point where I was trying to overcome the issue at hand and go back to that friend group, and I had my first and only panic attack because I felt like I was running out of time to get better and repair that relationship. It was like losing everything I had.

Both of those feelings - having to mentally wrestle with the thought of my old friends trying to bring me back in when I didn't want to, and panicking over not being able to go back - were happening at the same time.

This shit is disorienting and painful, and the only thing that helped me get better was time and distance. Don't be ashamed of how you feel, TC. You're probably gonna be thinking about your ex for a long time, and that's okay.

One day you're gonna wake up, and you won't even remember her face accurately. That's the first day of your new life, and you're going to be okay.

Thank you...I really needed to hear this.
