How do you heal from a toxic relationship? I still don’t understand how 2 people who love and cared about each other can turn toxic and abusive it actually haunts me :(

im so sorry to hear that… sounds cliche but counseling works wonders to help you sort out everything and help you organize your thoughts and emotions better. time focusing on yourself but also knowing grieving will come in waves or even feel persistent, but it gets better. i know it’s hard and sucks so bad. but it helps to reflect, process, and focus on staying true to yourself. dont let yourself go like i did after mine. just know that breakups can be a blessing because you may not need to >

spend the rest of your life with that toxic person. but… it is going to be a journey of healing for you mourning the good memories of it, and it gets better i promise you. im so sorry you’re going through it, but i feel for you. -coming from someone who had a toxic relationship 3 years ago <3

This is an amazing response, I am heavily considering going to therapy specifically for this breakup because it has affected me in so many ways. It’s hard when the person you love the most is no longer meant to be in your life/was a toxic relationship. I feel so empty most days :( but I am trying to have hope🩷

i’m so sorry you’re going through that. i understand that feeling so much and it feels like the worst ever. but sending you love and hope, because the pain will get better! i think that’s a good idea, and just take care of you the best you can! it’s okay to feel into it right now that’s understandable. you have to let grief process the way it needs to. ❤️ im so proud of you though honestly. from what i can tell you are already handling it better than how i did back then. you got it!!
