honestly, over the past few weeks, all I've been doing is crying over him and playing it off like I'm okay.
I don't understand why it should be so hard because we broke up about two months ago, but during our relationship (which was 7 months long), he would break up with me often for odd reasons. sometimes, he'd like another girl and break up with me to try to go after them, only coming back to me when he realized that they didn't like me.
our last breakup was the definite end. only, that time I broke up with him. I lied by giving him the excuse that I just wanted a relationship where we saw each other more often (because he was giving me excuses about why we couldn't hang out all the time), but the real reason was that a friend of mine told me he liked someone else so I was scared he liked her more than me.
they started dating the day after we broke up, and it hurt me because he had moved on so quickly, but they only dated for a few days.
I talked with him a little until he blocked me on social media and my number on his phone.
now, he has a new girlfriend, and I'm jealous of them because I want that to be me with him instead of her.
what do I do? I'm so torn.
gosh, I'm such an over emotional wreck...
To me, it sounds like you're having such a hard time moving on because instead of just letting yourself feel your feelings and move on with time, you're beating yourself up for how you feel and so not really letting yourself feel your feelings or be able to move on.
It's quite common and human for us to not be able to separate heart and head. Just because he hurt you doesn't mean you didn't care for him. And it's okay that you did care for him. It's not wrong or incorrect for you to still care for him, even though he hurt you and even though you two are no longer together. It's okay.
I think you should give yourself a night or a weekend to just full-on wallow. Watch sad romcoms or read your favorite book. Take long baths. Eat lots of ice cream. Cry until there's nothing left to leak out.
Then swallow it. Get a good night's sleep. Face the next day. Face your feelings kind of with a meditative method. Accept feelings of sadness/loss/jealousy as they come, feel them, then breathe in - breathe out, and let them go. Don't beat yourself up if it takes time. Just keep breathing and keep going on with your day.
With time, you'll learn how to put those feelings in a little corner of your heart so they aren't so distracting or overwhelming. You will move on. You will feel better. <3
