      Hey 😁

      My partner left a couple months ago. I’m so happy that he did as I now feel like me again. Flash backs of what happened pop into my head, but they don’t scare me anymore. Today I’m so angry. Angry about what he did what I let happen to me. Angry that he had such an effect on my mental health. Has anyone else ever felt like this?

      I feel a bit like if I tell people they will think I’m not over him. But it’s not him I can’t get over, it’s what he did to me xx

      Yes, totally. Comes in waves. Not so often anymore as I’m several yaers out. But I still get it on occasion.

      Anger, as such many don’t see as a negative thing.
      There is such a thing as righteous anger, and as long as we are not harming anyone with it, it is sometimes possible to channel it into constructive change.

      My motto: ‘when in doubt, organise’. Meaning paperwork, cleaning, making life simpler if possible and less stressful…wouldn’t work for us all obviously but when I have these strong feelings it helps me be calmer…

      all best

      Hi Fergie, check out KIP’s post ‘Old Posts’, it has a bit on why we get angry and cry. It’s so not about him but at what we lost in ourselves.💛

        Hey, ftc thank you for replying x do you feel like you can move on even though things keep popping back? I hope that makes sense 🙄 I’m not an angry person and I hate feeling it, it feels like he still has a hold on me but I can’t let forget it go. I’m scared it’s going to define me in some way
