I think my ex is engaged and I wish it didn’t hurt me.

Thanks guys. I know I need to get over it. It’s just so easy to curl up and have a pitty party when your life seems to be falling apart. I know I shouldn’t be looking at his new gf Instagram bc I know it just hurts me more. I know I shouldn’t hope that he’ll text me but I do. The hard thing about all of this is that I know exactly what not to do and what to do to feel better but for some reason I can’t do it.

How to stop stress?

I use to cheat and run down hill for a few miles and then take the bus back home. Now I run on a lake shore path and run until I get to the beach and then I just sit and watch the water until I’ve calmed down and am ready to go back

How to stop stress?

I know this sounds like a shitty answer bc it’s not as fun but run. There’s something about the endorphins and running that really helps. I know whenever id get panic attacks I would go for runs and blast music and it was extremely effective

Soo...I'm 36 years old.

You were a child, and we all make mistakes. I think that it would make you feel better and give you closure to apologize. You don’t have to but you have nothing to lose by doing so. Just remember you are a good person and just made one mistake

My brain agrees with everything you guys are saying. But my heart just won’t let me move on and I honestly don’t know how to move on

Domestic violence and abuse..

I recently went through a similar thing. I just started trying to get back out on the dating scene and realized I am not ready. I think you have 2 options. 1 take more time and focus on you, make new friends and create a good support system (this is what I’m try to do now). 2 get back out there but go at your pace. You set the rules and make it clear that he knows that. And don’t take ****shit from no one. If you are being deceived or hurt SHUT IT DOWN. you have all the power!

My sister is crazy.

So her options for me are to
A. I move out
B. She move out ( but I am an intern and just graduated and she knows I can’t afford it)
C. Go to therapy so they can tell her she is right and I need to change. And if they say anything different see options A and B

My sister is crazy.

The situation hasn’t gotten better. Yesterday she texted me that she is not ready to talk but I could come get clothes between 8:30-9pm. It makes me feel as though she is giving me permission to enter a place I help pay for. I was moving past our argument but this just pissed me off. I am not looking forward to this conversation
