Heartache 💔
7 year relationship just ended. My anxiety is at an all time high. My body aches, my hands hurt, my stomach is in shambles. I cant stop shaking my foot. I have these sudden bursts of deep dread that make me want to vomit. I'm a mess.

I am really sorry to hear that you are going through this. Breakups are always difficult and I understand that, after such a long period of dating, you feel shocked and torn apart.
I really do hope you can find ways to focus on yourself and ways to heal so that any symptoms of stress can go down. You can do this by looking into natural remedies that promote relaxation; they are called 'anti-stress'.
Are there people that you can connect with to help give you in-person supports? And what boundaries can you make for yourself so that you do not try to establish contact with your ex to promote recovery?
Overall, please do what is best for you and the whole 7 Cups community is here for you. <3
Continue being strong :)
Thank you for your kindness. Yes, I do have family for support and they have been amazing. I don't have any friends. My whole time was devoted to my relationship. I'm trying the no contact thing but it's so hard. I'm not the one who ended things, I tried to plead for us to fix things. So now I'm the one broken hearted and I feel so hurt that I'm so easily disposable after almost 7 years. I don't even know how to start healing. I feel stuck.
Hey! I would recommend following the previous commenter's advice, but also... Have you taken time to grieve? I know we often associate grief with death, but many of the same coping skills work for breakups as well. I'm so sorry you felt so bad and I hope now you're at least feeling a little better. Let me know if there's anything I could find/say to help. ☺️💙
I'm trying to get through it but it's like being hit by a bus. I'm so sad and hurt. I don't want to be in this dark sad place but I'm trying to allow myself to feel everything. Intrusive thoughts get the best of me and I overthink everything. This is someone I was going to marry and spend my life with. I'm still in love with them. How is this so easy for them? It hurts. Thank you for your support.
