"How different people deals with heartbreak in their own way. Would that be something you guys would like to share? " Grief/loss, is so unliner, and no real interventions to be applied to it, for me it's a case of giving time time, going through the phases as they happen.and talking to those close to me, about how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking, as well as trying not to suppress the feelings attached to grief to avoid complicated grief happening. | |||

"I chucked myself into my work. Picked up loads of overtime. there something about working angry which relieves stress haha. And then with the extra money. New wardrobe. Shoes holidays car etc. It always falls into place and you end up being slimmer and get back the confidence. " Good for you! I’m happy your coping strategy made you feel so much better | |||

"Relationships: give yourself a period of mooching, then start a new hobby, join a new club or begin a new employment venture. Grief: Talk to people. Don’t bottle up feelings, don’t judge how you feel- there’s no right or wrong emotional response to loss. If you want to, laugh, cry, shout, feel angry, feel abandoned, then do- but it’s also equally valid to not do these things. If a close friend or family member is the one doing the grieving- let them do these things without judging them, and talk to them about the deceased, sharing memories is a powerful healing mechanism." Thank you for such a detailed response. Very wise advise | |||

"My mother passed away in June 2019. If death can be lovely she had a lovely death, just slipping away in front of us. Old age, she just wore out. She had lived a fully independent life in her own home right up to 36 hours before she passed. It was sad. I was not crushed by overwhelming grief but did and still do miss her. At this stage of my life I've dealt with numerous set backs and disappointments and as painful as they are to deal with at the time the pain eases. I've learn to rationalise setback. I'm sure there will be more in the future. " It sounds like you are very in tune with yourself, it helps greatly to heal. I am really sorry for your lost | |||

"Not going to go into much detail but suffice to say unrequited love is the worst. I lean on my best girl pal for support when I am having a crap period and try and fill my time with other things as much as possible. Time will slowly heal so I just let the feelings wash over me and know it will get easier and I will move on one day. " Thank you for sharing | |||

I am really sorry for your lost " It's important to be aware of your thinking and to catch yourself in the way you are thinking. Regarding my mother.I felt guilt that I didn't become a crumbled mess but also know in my heart I loved and cared for her as a son should. Everything was done for her for this reason and never because I ever thought I had to. My most painful experiences in the past have typically been when relationships have ended which is why I'm now single and have been for many years. I dont want to go through it anymore. But equally I like women and I like being intimate sexually so this site provides me the opportunity for this as opposed to standard relationships. | |||

It's almost a year now I hope time has made it easier for you " Thank you. It's never straightforward, she'd had years of ill health and was not the woman she had been. We had also had our 'difficulties '. I had along with my dad cared for her in various capacities for a long time and this made it possible for us to ensure we had no regrets. She was more than ready to die and we were able to be with her. I miss her of course and as time goes on I miss her more but I have never been grief stricken but the loss of her doesn't get easier. | |||

"How different people deals with heartbreak in their own way. Would that be something you guys would like to share? " I have a set of 200-300 hundred therapy skills and 6 Mental health-specific support people to talk to. I just throw one of those skills at it multiple times a day and talk to the support once a day until I feel better. Lover dumped me and mooched for a month and was over it surprisingly fast. Husband attacked me before therapy skills and support was in placed and I'm still dealing with the fall out of a broken marriage 9 years later. C'est la vie. At least I'm still alive somehow. | |||

"Heartbreak comes from many things but I'm assuming it's the emotional kind caused by a partner. My last partner passed away this time last year and personally I've had a very tough week but that will be memories of happiness that forever live with you, maybe next year I'll celebrate them memories rather than be reminiscent...and that's how I will process and move on. We all process heartache differently so what works for one won't work for someone else...but I have been there and feel your pain OP" I am deeply sorry for your lost and thank you for being able to share it | |||

"I'm a bit of an overthinker myself, so play back various things, could things have been different and such. So a big aspect for me is making sure I focus on other things so it's not constant but equally leaving time to allow myself to do that so I can move past it rather than just ignore it" I can relate to this immensely.

"I would say that everyone deals with heartbreaks in many different ways. Havent really been in a relationship in about 6 years but have been on dates a few times but getting a text to say it's not working does cut a knife in deep at times. Only thing you can do is lick your wounds and get up and dust yourself off. Jamming to some punk surprisingly helps too in my case " Hence the thread! Coming from true curiosity about how people does it and if it works. You guys are mostly a very emotionally competent bunch PS: my current jamming music won’t help much with this matter | |||

"We both have had our fair share. Both of us have now lost our parents. Our Dads both died around 10 years ago, Clyde’s mum 2.5 years ago from cancer and my mum died in March from cancer. Clyde is like a rock and has helped me deal with my mum. He is so philosophical about live and death. We both had very bad relationship experience. I turned to friends and family and my dog. Clyde dealt with things on his own and came back so strong. When I say you would not believe how badly he was treated, I mean that, but that was 15 years ago. We are the strongest and happiest we have ever been now we are together." I’m sorry that you have to go through so much but I’m really happy you found each other and found a safe heaven in your relationship | |||

"I’m not good at dealing with emotions so I usually just appear to be dead inside my last relationship after we broke up and I cried, I think I was in denial for a long time to the point that my ex was worried. I’m just better at internalising it and pushing my emotions deep down " Sometimes is easier to be guarded with our own emotions, isn’t it? I have always been like this as well, the only time I’ve opened up in my whole life, I’ve been badly hurt, so I guess I’ll be joining you in the pushing down emotions club soon | |||

I continued as normal after the breakdown of my marriage but felt numb for a Very long time. It simply wasn't evident. Not sure that makes me strong, it was necessary to keep money coming in and a roof over our heads." It is a coping mechanism, valid like any other, detaching oneself from the painful situation to be able to carry on. There is the opposite side, pain so paralysing the world seems to end. No right or wrong, but being able to carry on is a sign of strength in my book | |||

"How different people deals with heartbreak in their own way. Would that be something you guys would like to share? I struggled. I buried myself in music and work. The after effects are that I have some favourite albums I can’t listen to any more It happens to me as well, there are certain albums with a very strong power to make me cry for the subconscious memories it brings to my mind. Sometime I listen to them because I need some sort of cathartic release. Music is a very powerful thing indeed. I hope you are in a better place now " I am thank you. Low point was 8years ago, I’m gladly and happily long past it | |||

"Talk it through with people who want the best for you. The ones who will support your choice, but without cuddling your feelings, helping you to move on rather than entertaining pity party. That's me. What helps you OP? " That is a sound strategy if I’ve ever seen one What helps me? Not much nowadays, feeling happy for others it does brighten my heart a bit. Apart from that, it’s a pity fest and self destructive behaviour. | |||

I shall continue being happy for all you strong gorgeous people | |||
