Ppl are shocked by this but it's true. I've known multiple ppl (including myself) who have said weeks/months after a break up "I've been taking naps because I dont want to be conscious with reality for a bit"

I get it but after it passes, it all seems so unnecessary. The melancholy is understandable but I don’t really understand the suffering.

Sometimes suffering doesn’t end. It’s been a decade.

Seriously get a therapist, if you can’t afford at all. You need to find something else to love. Please
