32 [M4F] #California - Things That Suck.

I’m 32M and recently got out of a 7-year relationship. I’ve been trying to handle it “the right way”, focusing on work, staying away from bad habits, keeping myself grounded.

But nights hit different.

I feel this weird emptiness. Not even just missing her, but missing having someone. It’s hard to sleep, hard to stay motivated, and my mind just doesn’t shut off.

I know it’s part of the process, but it sucks when you’re in it. Feels like I’m just surviving instead of living right now.

If anyone’s gone through something similar or is going through it now, I’d honestly appreciate hearing how you handled it.
