^^ nice.

deep, deep darkness. can't sleep. can't eat. everything hurts. anger. fear that it will never feel better. isolation. music. tears. more music. the last breakup i discovered the blues and understood...

Interesting point you have brought up here. There are many ways we get over the past, either we fall into our addictions which we can easily succumb to such as sex, drugs, alcohol etc. It is a way for us to numb our intense emotions which we have driving through us, accumulating and building up into a ball of pain/resentment/jealousy/hate (depending on the person). Another method is obsessive behavior of what has past which may turn into an extreme form of sentiment, forever going back and rewinding through all the events that has occurred. If it has impacted us so much, we rather died than drown from the emotions we feel, we either cut it off, run away, or for the unfortunate few they will take their lives. For others, it may be a matter of time as those emotions felt dim, subsiding into the depths of our memory, this period can last from months to years or even decades. We might even invent lies and stories for ourselves inside our own heads in an attempt to escape from the harsh reality.

(Excuse my continual use of we, I am generalizing again but the above is only my point of view)



no, i agree. running from the emotions is easier than holding them up to the light and examining them...addictions only serve as distractions. i find that addicts don't enjoy their vices; moreso the pleasure aspect becomes a simple avoidance of pain.

also, its interesting to note what memories the heart chooses to hold onto. how some people stake a claim to your emotions in a significant way, others not so much. time heals, but not in all cases. memories are like a passport to the past...guess its a matter of waiting for that passport to expire.

Oh I feel you there. I was a mess earlier this year after the Scorp left me to get back with his ex. Didn't help that I kept hearing that bloody Adele song "Someone Like You" everywhere I went lol.

How did I get over it? My girl friends. They let me wallow and then made it their mission to take my mind off him. We went out tons, had fun and they made me laugh so hard. While I still had my moments of feeling low and sorry for myself after a while it got easier and I found myself thinking about it (and him) less.

Distraction is indeed the key. Find anything that makes you happy/smile/laugh and even if you don't feel like it get yourself involved because the more you focus on other things the less you focus on the pain and hurt.

I also avoided anything that made me thing of him, songs etc. Avoided em like the plague lol.

I usually do some work and keep myself busy by going out and stuff.. then at the end of the day i let myself cry and I just deal with my pain by myself. It gets better with time.



yeah, it really is such a day by day thing...can't rush the process. it's like a balance between not wallowing for too long...and not rushing to move on, the latter seems to backfire :/
