      On waking my day starts with struggling. I my own feelings the incident that caused me to end the relationship was something that I feel cannot be forgiven. My days are filled with emotional turmoil. Today it’s been most of the day. Minute by minute hour by hour but it’s so painful. Does anyone know any ways of coping with time after ending relationship

      I don’t know what the incident was, but I have my own incident and I want you to know you’re not alone. It is hard to get through the day, for weeks after realising what had happened I woke up shaking day after day, some days I could not get out of bed, but as the months have passed I am starting to wake up and feel a revelation, a realisation that I can’t keep pretending anymore, the abuse went to the next level and that has been the final straw for me. I am planning my exit and want a fresh start.
      You have an inner strength and you just have to keep doing what you’re doing, taking it each  minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day and soon you’ll become stronger. Those hurtful feelings need to be heard and felt so we can heal, it good to be able to feel something again cos for so long I felt numb,  it was only through councelling that I’ve managed to bring everything to the surface and release what’s been simmering under the surface and making me so dissociated. On days that I managed to drag myself out of bed I would just watch a film I wanted to see or make effort with my skin and nails, go for a coffee, have a soak in the bath, do some self care generally.
      Good luck, I know you can do this, don’t let him bring you down anymore!

        Thank you I’m very early days, I’m all over the place. DV support is planned this I need to talk of what’s happened as I hold wrong emotions inside me, all messed such turmoil inside with what’s happened. I’ve read your ideas and thank you for your belief of me. You do feel so alone with your memories and beliefs of what’s right and wrong. Minute by minute hour by hour concentration is poor but its very early days
