Stormy waves again

Hy everyone, I`m writing here again because I had some crazy nights since I found out the ex N is in town again..usually, I got triggered if I listened to music, but now it seems that it`s not even necessary. Everywhere I`d go, or if I`d do a certain activity, I have moments with long obsessive thoughts..and emotional longing. Even if I absolutely know what the ugly truth is.

I have these cravings and emotional longings, my soul is aching. My whole being is aching, like after my own personal brand of heroine. It`s like, I know it`s the final rounds..when I`m on the verge of finnaly making steps, to let him go. But I have a part of me that still wants him so badly, aches for closure and God knows what else! It is as if, some undiscovered pain is coming now from the depths of me, in waves again and so clearly. I started crying, and I almost couldn`t stop..I feel kind of drained phisically.

For two weeks or so, I`ve been called by numerous phone numbers I didn`t know, could have been some new guys I`ve met, but it also could have been him, not dialing from his own number. I think I feel guilty for not answering, and the pressure is so much harder now. I didn`t answer to any of them.

As hard as it is, I know, I know I must push on into my healing. I must..I do yet have moments when I feel very drained, and wondering if these obsessive thinking, and pain is going to stop someday. It`s like a slow death, but lately I`ve been wondering, how would I die faster? Being with him for few "glorious" moments, then receinving the punches, and watching him slip away again ( and me probably in an emotional coma, if I`m lucky ) OR longing to hold him, missing the beautiful lie, The Great Pretender..this pressure is getting me confused X.x

I pray this period will pass, and I will do some nice things for me this summer, even small stuff, like a walk in the park or working out. Just having some low days I guess, but hope things will get back on track as soon as possible.

The hardest part is letting

The hardest part is letting go. Once you face the facts and accept what has happened, and that none of it was real, you will let go. You must, in order to move forward. Hang on tight, you are doing great! Smiles

This too shall pass...

I truly believe in a benevolent universe and as long as we let it know we WANT TO HEAL- the longing and obsession will lift...it will...Just keep putting your precious heart first, show up for yourself...cry..cry..cry ( it is healing and releasing!), talk to a therapist..soothe yourself....this hard stuff will pass.... I am right there with you. with all these painful longing questioning thoughts and feelings..Just remind yourself of what you truly do deserve...and if you had stayed with him..- your soul would crumble and your heart would wither into nothing.... You have been freed....

Thank you very much for your

Thank you very much for your thoughts and support. I know I`m not spinning like I used to, these are like some isolated waves, after rounds of rough storms..I know in my heart that I have to let this whole mess go, in order to find out who I am, and to be able to evole spiritually, emotionally.. But I do have these moments of deep grief and sadness, as if someone died inside me. And in a way, it truly did..my love for him, the person I thought he was, all the idealization and warmth is slowly fading, because of the many many fights, lies, backstabbings and dissapointments. I don`t throw the whole basket of guilt only to him, we both come from chaotic homes. But as much as I could love him, and knock on his walls for 5 years..now I`m tired. It`s time to soothe my broken soul now, to save myself.

Absolutey, greengirl!

It's a process and you're doing great. Your commitment to your healing will get you through these stormy times to the other side and you'll be free! Freedom is bliss! I know because I'm almost 9 months out and I have never been happier. Great things await you, sweet greengirl! I found Lisa's blogs on obsessive thoughts and retraining the brain to be most helpful when I was suffering from those things. Maybe you could look for them and re-read. They helped a lot. Also, as you did in this last post, recalling the REALITY and not letting the FACTS of his behavior get blurred with your emotions is helpful, too. I'm sending you a hug and good vibes for continued strength and healing. Most sincerely, (not) spinning. NO LONGER AN OPTION. THE SICK FREAK IS BACK IN THE ZOO WHERE HE BELONGS AND NOT IN MY HEAD.

Thank you so much, and this

Thank you so much, and this whole site is amazing indeed. So much light! And it`s spreading, I have made progress in my life, it was hard, because people around me didn`t understood, family declared me legally insane for making other decisions beside that, it was like taking life from zero. It is our journey, and our life and I know it`s worth it. I can only wish to reach this level, 9 months NC whoa!! and still feel strong and fine with myself. I`ve had so much anger, and still do, and much of it I turned it against myself. Well not anymore :-) We all come here in a struggling point, in a point where pain is so loud and intoxicating, that our spirit is broken, our wings are broken. But we can do it, I know it. We can be the proof that there is still light.
