I can stop thinking about the fact that I will literally lose my best friend, lover, and most important person in my life for a while, out of my life - forever. It feels like I am mourning a death. I am jealous they are still in the lives of other people, but can’t be in mine. I don’t want them to just be a memory. I already have abandonment issues, so this realization totally breaks me. I feel like I can’t continue on.
How do you process this - especially when you feel the breakup was your fault? How do you cope?
