I just need to vent, so that's what I'm gonna do. If anyone wants to offer any thoughts of their own they're very welcome to, if not... well, I'm sorry

It's unhelpfully commonplace to simply say things get better, but they do. Breakups can be like bereavements, can have the force of a trauma, and it's no wonder they can affect us so.
Last year I had a difficult time, and I remember a feature of that was feeling that what was future had no real meaning. That all the possibility, all the things-to-look-forward-to no longer had any significance. It took a while to get back to feeling properly engaged and part of life again, and I wish I could say there was some clever trick to getting back on track (and I'm not sure I fully am yet, properly), but there wasn't. And I hadn't the energy for tricks in any case. It just took time, and it felt like too bloody long.
Anyway, as I say, unhelpfully commonplace but there it is. Keep your hope, because it's real, and I hope this lifts for you soon.
thankyou for this! seriously, thankyou. what you say is all true. i'm making progress, hanging on to the good things and people. sometimes it takes a traumatic event to make you realise what's important. i hope you carry on making progress too.
