But after that went away (never did completely tho) I could feel the relief of being without that person, tho I still had my issues, I think that the relief just was a new, and welcoming feeling that was much appreciated. I still struggle with my emotions tho, even when I'm alone.
I got over my ex and I felt relief as soon as about 3 weeks later, but the alone part has been hard. I don't fear as much as I just simply would rather be going through life sharing it with someone rather than alone. Everything is better when you're sharing it with someone. It also helps I have my 2 boys with me all the time at home. I'm not completely alone so that might be part of why I can handle it a little better.
