It really sucks. I can spend my time playing video games or watching TV or anything like that. The pain won’t be there. As soon as I have a free moment, it comes flooding back in. I’ve found something that helps though. It just isn’t a solution I want to be true. It makes me feel better while we are talking, but I still feel the pain. The pain definitely is still there even though I feel good at the same time. The only difference is that I don’t feel the pain when we aren’t talking. My life is relatively happy now. If I go days without talking to her, it all comes back. I get suicidal again and the pain is just immense. If we stay friendly, I stay generally happy. Except when we talk. When we talk I feel all the things I used to feel. I feel the happiness that she once brought my life. It makes me happy beyond what I could ask for. Then I just start realizing how much I want her back. That leads to more pain. I hate myself for needing her.

I’m not sure of your full story with this girl, but like any addiction, I think the only way to get past this cycle you keep repeating, is to go longer and longer without needing to talk to her. No matter what the addiction, people can go for a couple of days, and then they hit that wall. They need that thing they miss. Their minds tell them they can’t possible push past this. This is a dead end and you must turn around and go back. But it isn’t true. That wall you hit is actually the key point to getting better. People don’t realize it. If you stay strong and get past that point, you can keep on going. Or even if you fail again, at least you can say you made it a little bit further than the last time you tried. Too many of us lack the will power or are conditioned that as soon as something gets uncomfortable, it is time to quit. But those uncomfortable moments are actually the key change. If, only if, you really mean it when you say you are tired of needing this person, then next time, fight past the uncomfortable moment. Leave her alone for a few days, and when you get to that point where you feel like you need her again, just try to get past it.
Feelings are complicated and emotions too!
Time heals! Though it seems like it wont get any better at the time.
May you have strength for difficult days.
Sometimes it helps to look at what you can change vs what you have to accept.
Sometimes you can win people back – sometimes not.
Dont know if that’s an option? But being honest with oneself if important.
If you cant win them back you need to stop thinking about them or it will keep getting you down.
Accepting a situation if you cant change it – helps one to feel at peace instead of desparate or distraught.
Taking your mind off things is a good move.
Sounds like you are trying hard to keep busy. Well done. You will get through this!
