When the girl I loved split with me I was devastated. All I could think about was her. For 2 or 3 weeks I never ate or slept, & all I could see was her blonde hair & pretty face.

She said we had got too serious & she wanted to be single, I just wanted her.

Break ups are never equal & one party usually gets really hurt. I hit the drink heavily to try & deal with it, & i was drunk for 3 months. I drank so much that I could feel physical damage inside me, this was actually a welcome distraction from the emotional turmoil I was experiencing.

I never even got the chance to fully recover cos as soon as I had accepted it & moved on, my ex got in contact with me to tell me she was pregnant with my kid, then she fucked with my head ten times as much as when she broke up with me.

I'm not suggesting you do what I did & go on an endless quest to try & drown the pain away with booze.

What I do suggest is the cutting contact thing, it's the only way.
