I finally had the courage to leave but I’m heartbroken. What helps you distract your mind during a break up? I’m trying to stay away from social media. I’m going through it rn.. this break up has been messy 🥺

You know luckily I had a really involved job so I just picked up a ton of hours and didn't have much free time

Im happy you left.... I used my family to distract me, my kids, and small flings.... I had a hard relationship with my two dad also. . But it eventually gets better .... and now im in a relationship with someone who respects me and my kids and have a baby on the way and I couldn't be happier

that’s a good idea need to start making myself more busy to distract myself

that gives me hope🥺🫶🏻

When I'm sad or something I tend to reorganise my life. I paint a room, sort out the kids rooms, deep clean everything. I know it's a bit silly but I like being productive and seeing the benefit plus it makes me tired so I can sleep better rather than thinking about stuff I don't want to think about .

wow good job love!! Proud of you

Im going thru the same thing I finally left so thanks for helping me feel like im not alone

If you’re not preoccupied with a job or anything rn, cleaning, working out/self care (masks, do your nails etc) is what I would do. I’m sorry you’re goin through that ❤️🩹 you’ll be stronger on the other side! You already are, without him!

Diversional activities….find a distraction like work or find a new hobby

definitely not alone 🫶🏻

Take yourself to get your nails done, go on a nice walk, go window shopping. Do anything to side track your brain. I have always used time with the kiddos as a good distraction.

I am so sorry. I have been there please reach out if you need or want to. There is hope on the other side.
