Getting Over a Breakup

How have you successfully gotten over a breakup? I did not end the relationship and it was the most significant of my life. I feel confused and trying to understand why. I'm not sleeping well and my anxiety has decided to resurface. I'm ruminating. I don't have many people to go to about this. Please don't say I will find someone else, because I can't go there right now. And I know it won't happen anyway.

I have. But it took literal years, I think about 3 or 4 years to completely get over it.
- For sure, same here. Maybe longer. Looking back it was for the best that things ended, but boy did it suck at the time.
- That's a very long time.
  
  It can be. But also don't be hard on yourself if it does take a while. It's okay if it does. It's also not as intense for as long.
  
  Maybe a therapist would be helpful as somebody you can vent to and help you through it.
  
  Thanks, I have an appointment next month. It's tough in the interim.
  
  Glad to hear! Hopefully you find it helpful (if not find someone else).
  
  But you come out the other end a stronger person than you were before.
  
  I think so too.
  
  I've had past experiences with this type of stuff. It gets easier over time, with time being key.
