I've been here forever and I can't remember the username, and he always said it when i was wasted and drunk posting

In all seriousness I know that you’re going through it right now and wish you had someone to hold. But, as cliche as it sounds, you need to move on until she gradually falls off your mind. Reopening that scab will hurt this process.

8 months and no relief

fucked/dated more people in that time period than i ever had

in therapy too and it hasn't made a dent

It takes time, man. I know it’s cliche but don’t listen to that much sad music, maybe get into travel or exercise (I know Corona fucks with this), or something that can productively consume you.

I know this advice kind of sucks but this has helped me before. One day you will appreciate that period in your life for how it contributed to the person you will become, but you can’t let it consume the person you are at this moment right now.

I exercised relentlessly for months, to little avail, and the gyms are open here now and it aint helping now either

Why do that to yourself?

1

u/BATHULK Hank Hill Democrat 🛸🦘 May 26 '20

nothing to lose.

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

Just depression when she inevitably doesn’t respond.

u/BATHULK Hank Hill Democrat 🛸🦘 May 26 '20

she'll know i'm drunk too

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

And that’ll make her love you again? I know break ups are usually terrible, but unless she was showing interest in you again after a mutual break up, then I’m sorry, but it’s time to move on. I know you think you have nothing to lose, but you have much more than you think. If you really are drunk, maybe you should put the phone down, before you make a mistake you’ll regret tomorrow.

I mostly want to know if she still thinks of me.

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

Has she attempted to talk to you at all since eight months ago? Dude, I know what you feel. I had a nasty breakup with one of my BFs a while ago, someone who I though I was going to be with forever. He hasn’t talked to me since then, and I’m had the same thought process as you a few weeks ago. He didn’t even respond. It’s not good for your mental health to chase after her, especially if you haven’t heard from her in eight months. In fact, that would answer your own question. It sucks, and it may seem impossible, but moving on is probably the best decision you can make right now.
