Going through a recent breakup from a long term relationship 💔
It’s been a little over 7 weeks since my long-term boyfriend ended things. It’s been quite rough coming to terms with the breakup. I often wonder how long this hurt will last and how long will it take to heal. I am so sad and just hope I can be happier again soon.
@ElectricPluto Hello Pluto, it sounds like you've had a tough time recently with getting through the breakup; being broken up with actually feels painful, as the brain processes it just like a physical pain. I've talked before on here about how the end of a relationship essentially means a full mental and environmental reconfiguration, to replace what we've lost while we come to terms with the emotional aspects. Do you have any other social support you can leverage for the next few weeks, to provide some structure to bridge the gap, until the brain catches up with what has happened? I've linked to the self help guide on breakups, for some guidance on how to navigate things from here. As always, please allow time to heal and show some compassion to yourself.

Don't worry, I'm here for you and happy to help. Healing takes time, and genuinely i don't know cuz i haven't been in a relationship before so it may feel tough for You, but please don't isolate yourself with this. Talk to your family and your friends or start a conversation with our listeners here; they are wonderful and will listen to you, offering valuable advice. I went through a serious issue myself, but with her help, I successfully overcame it recently., and I hope you'll feel better soon:)
