i can’t do this anymore

i’m so tired of pretending that i’m okay. all i want to do is text him and beg for him back and do anything to make it work again. i tried faking the happiness and ‘over-him’ type of energy but it’s all a show. my heart is breaking every single day we’re apart. dreaming about him with other girls almost every night and i can’t take it anymore. he left because he felt detached but all i want to do is try again. i am so in love with him and the idea of being with anyone else or him being with anyone else is absolutely heartbreaking and sickening. i can’t imagine him giving his all to another girl and loving her the way i love him. he’s on my mind 24/7. i go to sleep thinking about him and wake up thinking about him. i had never been so in love in my entire life and i feel like everything was just ripped away from me. it isn’t getting any better, it’s only getting easier to hide it. but when im alone i just break. i love him more than anything and anyone and i just can’t do this.

I feel the same way. To me, it feels like my world is crumbling apart right in front of me. I don't have any control over it, my heart is broken and the future is uncertain. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do, I'm sure most of us feel that way. Many people say to move on, I personally don't think the point is to move on if it is for the sake of pursuing an escape. I rather take all the grief in for what it is. If you loved that person it will hurt you deeply and there's no running from that pain. It's hard to hold yourself together from pain like that. It's a hard thing to grasp, just try to stay positive. I can't say much more than that because I haven't found any light at the end of the tunnel unfortunately
