Hi April,
I’m 24 and I just broke up with my boyfriend of about a year. At first I thought I was okay but now I keep thinking about him all the time and it’s really hard to focus on anything else. I keep replaying moments in my head, wondering what went wrong and I feel stuck between wanna reach out and knowing I shouldn’t.
I want to move on and heal but I don’t really know where to start. I also don’t want to rush it and make things worse for myself emotionally but I keep thinking him and our old beautiful memories together. He is my first love and suddenly we broke up for some petty things that I know it wasn’t worth a fight.
How do I actually get over and start feeling like choosing myself again? Are there ways to deal with the sadness without just bottling it up?
