04.08.12 | Ahh I'm sorry to hear that man. Those "mutual" breakups still seem silly to me when both people still want to be together. Regardless it somehow happened to me too.
And yeah Jane Doe is a pretty useless breakup album for me too. |
paxman
04.08.12 | After reading your "I'm Now A Paraplegic" list, this list bears more weight, especially the girlfriend of four months portion. Good luck to you, sir. |

Wolfhorde
04.08.12 | That sucks. I'm gonna underline what Wylie posted and rec (if possible) the "stereotypical guy route". (listen to stuff like that, try to have a blast, go out with friends, maybe get shitfaced/high if it helps, do whatever is you like doing and is in the realm of possibilities) |
balcaen
04.08.12 | condolences, mate. we're about the same age and i went through a similar break up of sorts in november after 14 months of what was my first actual relationship. despite it being mutual breaking up always sucks no matter what.
i couldn't really cheer myself up for a long time other than to tell myself that one year is just a needlehead on the overall span of my life and i'm young as fuck and so are other people who are out there waiting for me to meet them.
judging from your "I'm Now A Paraplegic" list though, you're gonna get over this and do other great things with your life soon though. that AND you'll have learnt a fuckton from a tumultuous relationship. |

04.08.12 | life goes on bro. the important part is to not dwell on it forever |
Captain North
04.08.12 | It had to end like this, didn't it?
From the moment I stepped out into the embrace
Of a non-existent god,
It had to end like this.
I made you a Lady, a pointless title for a stupid 'nation'
Because we liked that kind of thing.
I'm glad it made you smile, like I'm glad my fingers work
Almost as well as that thing that doesn't anymore.
I'm glad I've made you scream
Almost as often as you've cried.
You gave me a pocket watch the day I left you.
I wrap it round my finger, dangle it in front,
Swing it like the pendulum above my neck,
Scratching at my beard. "Soon",
It whispers in rustles.
"Too late" I reply as I set it aside
We can't have our time again.
So let me forget all that we didn't do.
So let me forget that which I did. |

Also..Lowell I'm taking it in my stride kinda. It has been 9 months now, enough time for me to be able to function in society. That first list I made after the accident eas very little tbh, that was when I was drugged up and inspired before 6 months in hospital sucked the will out of me. |

04.08.12 | ^ What Voivod says, even though some times it doesn't matter how old you are. It's just that, if you were with a person with whom you had a good chemistry, and this person really made you happy, it hurts so much when you lose what you had instantly for granted. |

omnipanzer
04.09.12 | Be happy someone was willing to fuck you.
Be happy that it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
Be happy your accident happened at at time when you had someone strong enough to see you through it.
Be happy you didn't waste more time in a doomed relationship.
Pout for a week, move on.
You will be stronger for it. |
SCREAM!
04.09.12 | When my gf of nearly 5 years left it was one of the hardest things to go through at first but i started focusing more on myself, hitting the gym, going to shows (which i rarely ever did while with her), trying to see my friends more, and within a little over a month i was pretty much back on my feet. I've doubled the amount of concerts i've been to and am generally a lot healthier because the habit of going to the gym stuck and i've been working out 3 times per week for about 3-4 months now. Feels good. Try to stay positive and keep your head up man, you can get through anything and in the end you'll realise it was all worth it |

09.05.12 | Yeah, so we got back together for a few months but broke up again the other week. Far more amicable this time. Eventually I think we'll remain good friends, but I won't get over her if we remain in contact right now. Which sucks because she was pretty much my entire social contact. But I feel oddly freer and ok now. |

09.05.12 | "Eventually I think we'll remain good friends, but I won't get over her if we remain in contact right now. Which sucks because she was pretty much my entire social contact. But I feel oddly freer and ok now."
Space does wonders for getting back to a healthy mental standpoint. My ex and I didn't really go our separate ways for a long time, and looking back I can see that it just made everything far more painful and drawn out than it had to be.
A few others have mentioned it but what really helped me was getting comfortable in my own skin, when the person you spend the majority of your time with leaves it's shocking at how alone you can initially feel.
You've already found music that makes you cry, try and find some that gives you hope/acceptance or drive. Get into a new hobby or revisit an old one, hit the gym, read, dream... do things that make you remember/realize what you like about yourself and get comfortable in your own skin again.
Was single for over a year once my ex left, gained back what little confidence I had and expanded upon it, also became more self reliant. Current gf and I are at 11 months so far, feels nice.
I wish you the best of luck recovering sir! |
Captain North
09.05.12 | Thanks man. Yeah, tricky thing about getting comfortable in my own skin again is I'm also coming off of a major injury that's left me paraplegic. So it's more a matter of what can I still be of what I used to be...plus, a lot of my social contact before m injury came from drinking which I'm not even remotely interested in anymore. The trouble with living in a drink dominated country hah |
Acanthus
09.05.12 | Yeah I can understand/see where that'd be difficult, watching one of my friends get more involved in drinking regularly. It's beginning to change him, though he's over 30 so he knows what he's getting into.
A easy way to socialize is online gaming, preferably on the PC. Teamwork based FPS's and the like really are a fun way to talk to people you don't know, and sometimes squads keep together even after the games done.
Just saying you've got some options, but you already know that so you'll be fine in the end! |
