I don't think there is a set answer for that,

I know it takes time, some people it takes longer, others shorter.

I don't know if we truly ever completly get over someone, I know that I will always have a little place in my heart for my ex, a small part of me will always love him, even after how he betrayed my trust. It is just with time my focus on that part of my heart fades, and I will heal and move on and find someone that will treat me better and return the love I gave.

Allow yourself to feel the emotions, I've found that being active, being with close family and friends, helps a lot, not as a distraction but as a way of having support, channeling the anger or depression I feel into small activites (like for me I've been trying out new recpies when I cook, or spending time out doors hiking and jogging when I feel the depression and anger become overwhelming) I'm processing what I"m feeling and I'm also making sure I am taking care of myself and handling things in a constructive and healthy way.

I think it is important that we show ourselves patience and love and care during moments like this, it can be hard to do, but sometimes the most important kind of love is self love, being kind to ourselves and not putting ourselves down for what happened. (I struggle with that)

sitting here with you Joanie, and sending you my support, this little bird's nest is always open, feel free to pm me anytime you need to talk

Much love, peace, and serenity
