Hey April,
I’m Patrick, 23 and I just broke up with my girlfriend Keisha after a year. It wasn’t messy or anything, but it hit me way harder than I thought. At first I thought I was fine, but now I can’t stop thinking about her, and it’s messing with my mood and focus at school/work. I thought I already moved on from her, but no….
I’ve tried keeping busy, hanging out with friends, picking up new stuff, but I still feel stuck. Part of me still hopes we might get back together, even though I know that’s probably not a good idea.
I just wanna move on and feel like myself again, but don’t know how without bottling up my feelings or rushing into something new.
I kept telling myself that we’re over, I should really move on now. But, I don’t think I really can.
How do you get over someone you really cared about?
What does a healthy relationship even look like?
How do you know when you’re ready to love again?
