For all your support...

I do not know what to do next. Somehow I feel like crawling in a corner and cry. It's about the only thing I want to do.

  • There isn't much you can do, except try not to dwell on it. Go out with friends, rent a movie (comedy or sci-fi, no dramas), do something you enjoy. Buy something you have been wanting for a while, but didn't want to spend money on. Just don't spend time sitting around thinking about it. It's too fresh right now. Once some time has passed you can sit down and sort it all out, but right now, you just need to try to think of other things.
  • Just don't make a habit of it.

    I know I cried for a while after my breakup in September. A long while. I even had to call my parents to bitch. I mean, damn!, did it hurt.

    Best of luck man. And take care.

    P.S. Sorry about our IM conversation last night, my DSL went out right in the middle of my phonecall, and didn't come back up until this morning. I'll be on in about 4 hours from this post if you'd like to talk some more (I would).

    • We will see...

      I only have an AIM account because of her. I'm at my parents right now, and cried a lot. I'm sitting here, not knowing what to do. Somehow everything feels pointless. I can't sleep and eat (I need sleep, I nearly didn't sleep tonight).

      The worst part is to know that she still loves me, or so she claims.

      • I just started catching up on my messages and read your posts. I'm really sorry to hear about everything.

        When I lost my love, I spent the week after with my parents. You will never find people who care about you more and they will never turn their back on you. I think that's the correct move at this time.
        • I'll probably stay at my parents for now. It still doesn't change how I feel. Somehow betrayed, somehow thrown into a deep pit.

          Somehow relieved it's now and not in two years. I still think of her as my true love. I cannot help it, I have never met a girl like her. She was truly everything I wished for.

  • .. you know that if you want someone who can listen you know where & how ..

    And that also goes for Spirit00, who probably had to make one of the toughest decisions she ever made.

    Take it one step at a time.. and do something with lots of other people, just to clear your mind.. to give it a bit of rest.. slowly..

    Turning a page only reveals the next one.. and who knows.. some people re-read the best pages of a book and stick to just those.. iykwims

    Eventually, the race recommences, you'll see..

  • That's the trick I use.

    I tell myself: For the next 5 minutes, I won't cry. I'll cry on the 6th if I have to, but for the next 5 minutes, I'll wash some dishes. For the next 5 minutes, I'll call a friend.

    Easy. Slow. Just make a goal for the next 5 and then work up from there, even if it's just to breathe. You can even schedule in 5 minutes of crying.
    • That's about what I did the day after she broke up. I wasn't very stable. Called people, sent emails, was on IM with SamTheButcher, AntiFreeze, andr0meda and LadyGuardian (Thanks again all you guys!)

      I work already on bigger scales now. I didn't cry since yesterday. I think, however, that the crying on thursday was a great help. It helped me realise, helped me understand what had happened. I know boys don't cry, but I think they should....

      • Anyone that expects perfection every minute is a fool. Be happy you can cry. I don't know why you feel bad about it because boys can and do cry. All humans have tear ducts in common, as well as emotions. Give yourself a few minutes to revel in your tears. Quit beating yourself up, okay?

        Hope it gets better for you soon.
        • I like perfection.... It is the ultimate goal that cannot be attained. The fact about "boys don't cry" was more a joke than being serious. (I'm not often serious)

          And I'm already better as you undoubtly will see in my next journal entry.

    • You have a freaking low slashdot number ;-)
      What is also very odd, is that I just clicked on the "friend" button, and not only shows the green dot up, but also the blue one! Funky! We had the same idea at the same time.
      • Yep. I'm older than dirt.
        • Sure... Older than me? I'm 26.... And balding... so I look older ;-)

          Besides, the sig is cool.

          • Yes, and I'm deliciously and so happily in love with a brilliant fellow /.'er. Maybe you can be, too. As he said, "you never know."

              It's true! Yum!

            • Maybe you can be, too.

              That is about as probable as winning the lottery. Look at the odds: I live in a country with a population of about half a million individuals. Assume 250000 are women. How many of those are between 18 and 30 and on top of that read slashdot? That would be a rare pearl ;-)

              • Jaw, forget the numbers and statistics. Think of it like flipping a coin. Each toss has 50-50 odds, regardless of what came before. That's why Las Vegas rakes in the bucks -- because people see something happening and then bet against it happening again when it can.

                That's all.
                • I am a computer scientist, and not a gambler. I don't think you can see "a match with a woman" as a 50-50 chance. That would mean that every second woman in this world will eventually fall for me. Highly unlikely. Even more unlikely would be that all for me or none fall for me, though ;-)

                  Of course, I'm focussing on stats again, here ;-)

                  • I'm a programmer *and* a gambler (blackjack!). I love both. They seem to work really well together, because they both share many mathematical and intuitive undercurrents, both qualities that I think really good developers and architects (and gamblers) possess.

                    Yes, the chance is 50-50 each time. But that doesn't mean every other women will fall for you. You can have a streak of only one out of 20 falling for you if the coin comes up 19 times on its head and you called tails.

                    I'm trying to say view each enco
