Just come out of my first relationship which was 3 years long. I was the one that was broken up with, and have been okay for the most part- doing the things I was going to do, seeing and speaking to friends, not just crying all the time.
The reason was 'I just wasn't happy in the relationship anymore' which I completely respect, and to be honest I was in denial that I was truly happy as well, because we'd been growing apart for a little while. However, since I've never done this before, I'm not really sure how to go about getting over it properly. I've got really supportive friends and family and me and my ex had completely separate lives to each other so I have a good foundation which I'm really glad about, however, I keep thinking about all the good and bad parts, and wondering how I'm supposed to fully move on because this is all I've known for my entire adult life so far lol. I know it will get easier with time, but that's hard to believe at this moment in time when it's still so raw.
I don't think I'm allowing myself to feel all the emotions I want to feel for fear of being judged, and also confused about how I'm actually supposed to feel, since I am so conflicted about it all.
I've got uni work I really need to be doing (more than I've ever had to do at once which I had told my ex before we broke up so personally I think they could have waited a month or so lol /hj) and have no motivation whatsoever to do any of it. Partly because of this and partly because I was burnt out even before we broke up so there's just an added layer of overwhelmingness.
I guess I came here because there's only so much talking you can do to the people around you before you start to sound like a broken record, plus most of the people in my life haven't been in my situation before as they've never been in a relationship or are currently in their first one. Advice or just to chat would be appreciated, thanks.
