In search of the next vacation
wow thank you so much ladies for your honest feedback.your words were very encouraging and touching and got me all emotional. i'm fine during the day, i work 9-5 and my job is pretty hectic so i have little time to dwell on the breakup but when i'm home, that's when all the anxiety and depression swoop down. but i definitely feel better than i did last night. i work with a few of my friends so when i got to work one by one they were asking me throughout the day "are you okay?" "what's wrong with you?" and i kept saying that i just didnt feel like working today and that i was tired but by the end of the day i told them that ____ and i had broken up and before they even formed their thoughts i rushed and said i didnt want to go into detail and didnt want to talk about it. my whole thing is that i hate when people give you that pitying look like "aww you poor thing" i hate that! and thats mainly why i wanted to keep it all to myself but when i told them i dont want to get into it, they were okay with it and said to let them know when i'm ready to talk. but their demeanor did change and i noticed that they were treating me like i'm fragile or something but whatever. i made it through the day at work.
i'm actually gonna have to reacquaint myself with myself. its very strange but its like i never had hobbies...i spent my time with him all the time. he's in law enforcement and my days off i spent with him. I stopped hanging out with my friends more and more to the point where they felt that i was pulling back, but i never really realized it. out of the blue he was the only one i bothered to hang out with, and would get annoyed when my friends would constantly call me.until the calls lessened but still i didnt even care. its so weird...i made him the center of my universe without fully realizing it. so when several of you ladies are asking me if i have any hobbies, any means of distraction...nope. all i do is go to work, watch tv, and sleep. i have like no social life. not because he alienated me from my friends but because for some reason as the years went by i rather just hang out with him. does that make sense?? it sounds weird as hell now but not while it was happening. i was fine with it now i feel like wheelchair bound individual having to learn to walk again. how pathetic of me?? i will never shut everyone out like that again.
i made plans to go to the casino with several friends on monday night and i plan on having a good time.i think i'm done with the tears but hey you never know. something might trigger them but i know this is for the best. you guys are so genuine in your responses and it definitely helps. i almost didnt make this OP because i dont like to be vulnerable and put myself out there but i'm glad i did.
i will definitely look into yoga and pampering myself.the spa idea sounds great. i think i will also take a trip to virginia to see my aunt, who is also a good friend of mine.thnx ladies
for you!! I am going through all this now too! (Broke up with BF yesterday) So completely feel your pain. Every day will be a struggle but every day it will get better. If we lived in the same city, I would be planning us a pity party! Stay strong and it will get better!!
