Breakups and Disability
I am going through my first breakup and it's been really difficult, not only because I loved my partner very much, but also because of what they represented for me. I am queer, disabled, and somewhat asexual, and I had always thought those things would make it near impossible to find love. When I found my (now ex) partner, I felt so relieved that my search was over. They were incredibly understanding of my disability and all the other nuances of my identities. Now I feel adrift again in a world that makes it so hard for people like me to find love, connection, and understanding.

Breakups can be hard 😕 I am sorry you are experiencing your first.
When we enter a relationship with someone who makes us feel so understood and loved for all that we are , the thought of losing them is scary enough, now when you've actually broken up , I can only imagine how difficult it would be to cope.
I understand how breakup feels like the end of the world, or your love life, but it is not , you found him somehow and you can find someone else again too , for now please only focus on healing and coping with your last relationship, developing a self acceptance and self love relationship with yourself and assure that you are deserving of love , stability, understanding, acceptance and most importantly long term commitment too and you will one day get all of it and maybe even more . Just hang in there and keep doing the best you can to support yourself through this rough patch of time ❤
