Hurting/Lost

Not sure if this is the best place for this. I apologize this will be a bit of a longer post. Over the summer a girl came into my workplace. There was instant attraction. She asked for my instagram then we ended up exchanging numbers. We talked for about a week and had great conversation. I ended up taking her to dinner and it was honestly a first date out of a movie we truly hit it off. Over the next couple of months we dated and got together every chance we could. Normally about 3 times per week. Texting throughout the day then calling every night. It was genuinely the most real connection I had ever felt. Everything was so perfect. The last week we had together we had seen each other 5 days in a row. Each of us initiating plans. Calling every night and talking for hours. We essentially couldn’t get enough of each other. There was a sense in each of us that this was just right. Sunday night we had a great date then she fell asleep on my chest. That Monday was very normal. Great conversation throughout the day then talked on the phone that night as she always wanted to. Tuesday morning I wake up to a text that she is feeling overwhelmed and wants some space out of nowhere. I told her I’d respect her space. She text me a few times throughout the week and I responded accordingly. That Sunday she called me in tears saying she was stressed and hormonal and doesn’t want space. She wants to go back to what we had and didn’t know why she did this. I agreed as I felt very strongly for her. The next few days were normal communication but we were unable to see each other due to scheduling. Then Friday came and she sent me a super vague text essentially telling me it’s over without really saying it. Later that evening after work I told her she means a lot to me and I’d like to sit down and talk about this so we don’t risk miscommunication over text. I essentially put my feelings on the table. She never responded to that text. It’s been about 2.5 months and I’m still just lost. I don’t know how someone can just discard something that felt so right out of nowhere. The connection was genuinely the most real thing I had ever felt and it was mutual. Just finding it so hard to move on. I then saw her on hinge about 3 weeks after being ghosted which didn’t really help my mental state. I just wanted to vent and get some takes on my experience. Thanks guys! If anyone wants more details feel free to DM!
