Its been weeks since she left. And everyday still feels like it just happened. Years of laughter and joy and its all gone. I've tried to not think about her I'm 29 I should be over this.... I've tries dating but quickly see that will only hurt the other person nothing I do that brings me joy is the same anymore becuz all I wanna do is call or be with her while its happening. The stomach pains the fatigue the laziness all from a broken heart the mind is a real thing. I just want to know that I will be OK I'm not used to breaking ups going like this. But all I do is alienate myself in my room lay and think its poison I feel like I'm failing as a dad too cuz I have a 9yr old I just don't have the energy to entertain right now.... I just want to forget
As hard as it is, I would say to try to drag yourself out ... whether it is just for a long walk to think... or to be around other people ....not saying to be dating or socializing, just to get a change of scenery and maybe a chance to feel less bogged down about everything.. (I am all too familiar with withdrawing and trying to cope myself. It has just taken me twice as long to again pull myself out of another funk.) It actually helps to reach out to others. Just know you can do that here if and when you need to .
Your 9 year old....if (s)he knows daddy is having a hard time missing your SO (or mommy?) They will probably understand and may well be missing her too. Just to spend some time with them , you may find the two of you would feel a little better. (KIds can have a way of helping us as much as we help them. Kind of put our priorities in a better order.)
Hang in there and give yourself time. My thoughts, prayers are with you.
Hugs too.
I think Veggiequeen said it all.
Allow yourself some time to heal. Then get up and go outside for or a short walk or some activity with your 9 year old.
I promise you will be OK.
Hugs
