Almost two months since the breakup and initiating no contact

I remember the first week of processing it I was in this sub constantly, endlessly scrolling, searching to see stories of situations similar to mine than ended up in reconciliation because I so badly wanted to get back together... but after consistent therapy, taking meds, spending more time with friends, doing new things, I look back at that relationship with so much disdain now. I never realized how much it was draining me until I realized I was finally feeling like myself again for the first time since before we got together. Sometimes you give so much of yourself to a person that it blurs your perspective to how much you're losing.

I didn't expect to feel so content and free this soon after, especially since we were together for three years, but I genuinely feel so much better without him. I hope a lot of you come to similar realizations.
