My boyfriend and I broke up last Saturday
More like he broke up with me and I didn't have a say to this, couldn't even call him So he broke up with me over text
And it was out of the blue tbh because I remember falling asleep on the phone with him and woke up to the text
We are in a lot relationship btw
I miss him
He said that he is struggling mentally and they he is actively seeking professional help
Idk what to do
Everyday I wake up and it only gets harder and harder
I cry for longer I rot in my bed
I bury myself under movies
The pain is just there and it's eating me away
I thought l'd be forever with him And I love him so so much
I just don't know what to do
A part of my wants to wait for him because I love him so much and moving on feel like I'm abandoning him and I'm scared
I don’t know what to do(ldr relationship)
It’s just that no one ever made me feel like that before
When I’m with him I feel special
I can be myself
I don’t have to hide or lie about myself
He sees right through me
I’m so comfortable with him I can tell him about anything and I never met someone like that
I’m so attached to him
It’s hard to act like I’m moving on but he is everywhere in my room
His presence is everywhere in my life so it’s very very hard
Moving on would feel like I’m forgetting a part of myself
I was the happiest it’s like I’m abandoning myself if I move on idk why I feel like this
He decided to break up and I couldn’t even say no or yes
But as he said he is struggling mentally and doesn’t want to drag me down with him but I was ready to stand by him no matter what but idk anymore
Tomorrow will mark the first week
I’ve never been away from him for so long it hurts
I wonder if he comes back much later healed and all idk
I miss him
I miss my sweet baby boy
I love him so so much it hurts
Okay💔
Okay😔
I can’t block him…
Why?
I just want him to get better mentally because he is struggling rn
I mean my last text to him was that I support him and I hope he gets better and it was Sunday and since then nothing from him so I’m not really trying to go there and disrupt his progress
Oh..
Well he said that he cannot be the man that I see in him for the moment and that he can’t give me what I want for the moment because of his struggles
Everyday
And that Friday night I fell asleep on the phone with him and when I woke up the following day that’s when he broke up with me
Yes
I know it’s just hard to accept it because we made plans for the future so I’m hanging on the “what if’s”
I know that ill move on it’s just that it’s the first week and I feel like I’m dying for some reason
I’ve had heartbreaks before but this one takes it to the next level
I thought I’d sail the deep waters with that person I thought I’d sleep and wake up next to them I’m still holding on in a way so I’m sorry
you might feel like you're stitched together by strands of something you can't name. It might feel like you've lost him, like he's slipped away into some great void, some place you can't touch. But that's not how it works, not really. You're not meant to "move on", and nobody who tells you that has ever known the gravity of love. It isn't a path to walk away from, but a root that grows deeper, twisting through you, holding you steady even as you break. He's not gone, he's only dissolved. Like sugar stirred into water. He's everywhere now, in the hum of the air around you, in the strange stillness that wraps you up when you feel like you're alone. Do you feel that ache in your chest? That sorrow? That's not emptiness, it's just the shape he left behind, reshaping your soul into something you, and it's a messy process. You're not just grieving them, you're becoming them, piece by piece. The way he smiled, the way he spoke, the way he loved you so fiercely. All of that is yours now, and you probably don't even realise it yet. So there's the truth: you're not losing him, you're absorbing him. Every breath, every step, and every tear is him moving through you, finding ways to remain. You are his legacy, echo, and home. Let yourself feel everything. The sorrow, longing, even the anger. Let it hollow you out, because only in that hollowing can something new take root. And one day when you've grown used to his weight inside your soul, you'll find he's not a burden at all. He's a part of your rhythm, pulse, and life. You don't have to let go, you just have to keep living. He'll take care of the rest. And remember, you are special, you are real, and you are loved.
Thank you
I actually just texted him about how I feel I hope he doesn’t feel pressured or worse
I truly love him ❤️
he found a new e-bitch and he's receiving e-head, he's for the e-streets gurll.
You’re stupid.
L-Maow.


you'll heal, and then get hurt again. 
it's reality.


U just have to heal urself and move on, enjoy ur life and family and focus on urself
Things will get better and better
It’s hard tho
I want him back
I wanna hear his voice
I wanna see him
I want everything back
But nothing will be the same anymore
I just hope that he heals his mental health
That he gets better
And when he feels like he is ready and want to try again… he reaches out to me
Yeah... But u definitely have to try, life doesn't end because of a break up, u must continue ur own journey and find a happy ending
Did u meet him physically or just online
I know
But we had plans for the future
Real plans
Online
We FaceTimed all the time
Okay...how old are u guys if don't mind me asking
I’m 25 and he is 27
It's gonna be real hard and you don want to be stuck in someone cycle of mental health healing or what ever he is going through okay.
I get the thing of wanting to talk to him everyday buh you have to find a way to feel the void. It's okay to cry darling. Healing is liner
I know I just idk anymore
I want him to come back
But if we keep the old patterns
We would be back at the start and that sucks
So I’m focusing on myself rn
I miss him dearly
Reall advice. Cry.
I want you to cry as much as you want
I’ve been crying all this time
I know that feeling
It's gonna be all right one day darling
Not today buh. One day
Can i send you a DM?
Yeah I just miss my sweet sweet boy 💔
Yes
UPDATE : he just texted me saying
“Hello..”
“I’m sorry Angie”
Oh I’m cool now
We talked
More like I vented my anger and everything out
You will be okay
But yes you can share what you went through
I’ll be all ears
