When you are deeply in love, it can feel like you will cease to exist if that person is no longer in your life. You just can’t fathom a reality without them. I have experienced this pain, I know what it’s like. And I can tell you that you can live without him. You may not want to, but it’s very much in the realm of possibility and you need to remember that. And the only way you can remember a life without him is if he’s not there. I know that this can be extremely difficult, especially if you’re fresh out of a relationship. When someone is that enmeshed in your life they literally feel like a part of you, it’s almost like losing a limb when they’re gone… you survive, but it’s just harder to function. But going through difficulties is what gets us in touch with who we are and what we’re made of. This sort of growth and self-discovery is invaluable. Breaking through that feeling of “I won’t be able to survive without him” and then discovering that you can will make you realize how strong you are, and as a result, will help build your self-esteem and give you that amazing “I can get through anything” feeling.
