I tell myself "You will feel shit for a few days, let it happen" but then some fucked up demons start telling me "oh but you can fix it, you can change her mind" and then some obsessive compulsive behaviour takes over...it's really not healthy. I know society has this "men are big and don't hurt" vibe but I've never fell into that category. I've always been very open about mental health and feeling down about things. It's just very shitty when that other person you used to share these feelings with ends up being that very person that has decided it's not gonna work.
When someone dies I think it's actually easier to grieve but it's worse when the other person is still there somehow in the cyberspace. It's a very difficult situation that I know soo many people go through. I just love to hear how people cope.
