Somedays it feels like you make a lot of progress and then the next day you're a mess again

man that’s incredibly interesting don’t say that, I call myself somewhat Of a collector as well but most people just call it hoarding lol.

Back to the sleep thing, yah when my ex first split with me I don’t think I slept for more than 4-5 hours a night for a month and it was the worst feeling ever knowing that I couldn’t even rest properly because I was so distraught and heartbroken. I have no real knowledge in how to stop having dreams/nightmares about a loved one but I do know that listening to your body will help. I still have them often but every time I wake up in a panic from them I take as much as I need to just sit on the floor and talk to myself until I’m calmed(this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced but once you can do this you’ll start to feel clarity) during these talks with yourself just ask yourself what you’re feeling and why you feel this way.

Again, I know it can be hard to get out and be active but during a time of healing exercise is one of the best things for you mentally. And then afterwards you will sleep much better and feel rested and that’s one step to being back to normal.
