Author Topic: Really Emotional  (Read 1487 times)

Thanks for the support.

Last night I had a long vivid dream. She was in the dream, and we talked about 'us' similarly to when we were returning from the festival yesterday in real life. The last thing I remember in my dream is talking to her, then walking outside a rather large building, looking at her in the window and smiling.

I can make it through this but I really am having a tough time. I almost feel sick. I can't focus or think about anything else. I can't let this love go yet but I don't want to beat a dead horse.

I feel so alone even though I have so much friendship and love in my life. The pain is in my heart area, and feels like my chest is in another dimension.

I feel like this is my fault, and I hate that I made it this way. I feel helpless and I just want to hold her for the rest of my life.

I would love to meditate, listen to music, have a good long cry, and just live my life. I am at work now so that's probably not going to happen immediately. I don't know how to handle this.


Happiness only comes after much sorrow.

Fight.

Let's talk for a bit about the blame game.

In these situations, I don't think it's fair to put blame on anybody. Nobody did anything wrong. You've got nothing you blame yourself for, and neither does she. We like to put guilt on ourselves for a number of reasons. If you can bypass that, you're going to feel a lot better for it.

If you really feel guilty, than you need to find an appropriate way to apologise so that you will let go of the guilt. That said, I don't you're in the wrong from what I've heard, so I presume at this point the person you need to apologise to is yourself. How you accomplish that is beyond me, since it's different for every person. The important thing you're trying to achieve is self-respect. That's an important tool to have in fighting this battle.

Being at work right now can't be easy on you. Be proud of yourself for committing and not locking yourself away like I did. The fact you're trying to is incredible. The heart isn't an easy monster to fight, but with time (unfortunately), it will submit. Just keep holding on.

Sometimes, it might help to remember the good moments you had with her. The key is to do your best to avoid the feeling of loneliness after you get that boost of happiness. Again, being able to write down things might help; if you write down what the best things about those moments were, you might come to find it wasn't specific her that made you feel that way, but things she did and other things that occurred.

Since I'm not a professional, I can't really give 100% perfect advice for this situation. If you're really suffering after a few more days, you might want to consider a therapist or psychologist. Mental Health issues are very serious, and if you are undergoing severe depression, it's best to let an actually trained individual give you the support you need. For now though, just focus on the positives if possible; you have a job, you have some awesome friends, and I'm sure there's a lot more going on in your life which I could only dream of.

Dreams speak a lot about what we want. I'm not a pro at dream brown townysis, but I'm sure we can all guess that the dream was talking about you two coming to peace. I don't necessarily believe that means love, so I think your subconscious is probably also ready to move on. Again, not a pro, but that's how I'd take that. Keep logging your dreams, since they may have important clues on how you feel and how to make you feel better.

Think carefully about what it is that actually has changed between you two. I found that made things a bit better, since I realised that there's not a lot in a partnership that you can't get in a close friendship. Hopefully, you'll be able to see that this may even end up bring you closer together.

Your advice is amazing.

I'm still in shock from this, which is why I am blaming myself and feeling guilty. I do feel like a failure but it's out of my control. I have to leave this to the 'higher ups' because only my fate will free me.

I am afraid that my feelings will jeopardize our friendship and I will lose her. I will love Rachel until the day I die. There is nothing I can change about that.

Obviously now, we are incompatible. We have to move on, but how do I suppress the most intense feeling of my life?

I feel lost because I don't know exactly where I went wrong too.

I have stopped crying repeatedly but I still feel the 'broken heart' sensation.

I guess it'll all work out.

I'm just really sad. :/
