A bit of hope for people going through a break up
I'm writing this in order to give hope to all people who are in a break up and are suffering. My girlfriend broke up with me about 4 month ago after she cheated on me and lied to me about it, and for 2 month she played with me like a yo-yo. Now 4 month on, here are the result of NC and healing:
-I've lost 22 pounds, managed to get more muscular, more tone and bring down my body fat percentage. I have much more energy than before and I am much more focused.
-I've grown very close to my parents and my brothers and I cherish them and I bring joy to my family
-New opportunities are opening up (I'm almost finishing my bachelor degree). I've changed my mind about working somewhere else to get the best jobs, and I am seeing all the offers for my future career (in Power Engineering).
-I have made new friends and contacts and everybody is amazed at how much I lost weight and how much energy I have.
-I am attracting much more attention now and I'm getting more dates than ever before, though I'm not rushing into anything. My confidence level is up through the roof.
-I am able to do what I want, when I want and I can take care of my own life and make the decisions that are important to myself, aka I'm living for me and I am focusing on my life, and I plan to help people in need later on.
Is life great? I have never been as happy as I am now, I can achieve my dreams and goals. My brothers told me that the break up is the best thing that ever happened to me, and they are right. Break ups can be the greatest thing that happened in your life. If you put your mind and body into it, you'll feel greater than before. You have to take an ACTIVE role in healing. I am almost never thinking about my ex, and when I do it doesn't hurt, it's just my past. I'm starting to love myself as I am.
For all of you out there, there is light in the end of the tunnel. I would suggest people would put their own story of healing in this thread to help people in need. Good luck for all of you out there!
