Saw a blog today about the pain of a break up.
It got me thinking about those emotions, that sort of endless spiral that you can be trapped in. It's awful. The worst part for me is the horrible combination of ADHD with that kind of emotion. My mind moves a million miles a minute on a good day, so when things like that happen..
I see an advertisement for a vacation spot, and I think about a conversation about our planned vacations, suddenly i'm in the car where we had that conversation, I can smell her hair...taste her, feel the air conditioning on my face. It's the very worst kind of endless cycle, and anything can trigger it, absolutely anything.
I rem. driving for hours and hours and hours, not really making it anywhere. Deciding after i've crossed state lines, that it's probably a good idea to head back.
I remember calling into work, barely able to even do that, simply because I couldn't handle it.
If you know someone who is going through that, be there. It sound so simple, and so dumb...but people take the presence of another person for granted. In times like that...it can make a huge difference. The person may not want you there, but no one should be blasted with that kind of emotion, and have no one to help them.
but thats just my take.

for me, it was a vicious cycle that just haunted me (a year) until i hid away all our photos on an external harddrive and we made a joint decision to stop the insanity.
for my guy friend.. he just keeps having the same heartbreak over & over but with new girls. i have no idea how he withstands the pain but I try to be there. especially when one of the hoochies is at the same show or w/ mutual friends. i literally stand beside him, blocking his view of her and her silly 'look at me' antics.
oh the heart is a lonely hunter.
