On the journey to become friends with ex
We broke up not long ago, I hurt him worse than I ever thought I could. We have talked every day because he is the only support in my circle of people I know that I have. He wants me to get better, learn to cope with my grief, and get back to being me. Not all our conversations are easy, but we do talk them out. Although, I want to get back together romantically, the most important thing besides bettering myself, is to earn his friendship and trust again.

Hi, thank you for sharing your story with us. It is not always easy to pour one's heart out but you did it. I am so proud of you for doing so! 
I am saddened to hear about what you have gone through and must be going through. Although I am glad that your ex supports you. 
His intentions (from what you've mentioned) also seem very genuine (that he wishes well for you). I commend you for choosing what's best for you, and making things right. I also believe it is always better to choose ourselves first, improve our overall health (including emotional), and coming to terms with what was previously holding us back.
It also seems that you cherish your ex for his selfless act of care and concern. For the same reason, I am glad that you chose to be wise and decided to do the next best thing - earn friendship and trust - rather than doing anything drastic or uncalled for.
You are a wonderful human being, and very strong for taking on life with this spirit! Take care of yourself and I hope things get better at your end.
Do feel free to write to me (or any other awesome listener at 7cups). We are always here for you.

Tread carefully about re-entering someone's life after you have hurt them greatly (by your own seld-admission).
If you hurt them again, your damage can be triple-fold. Maybe, look at a bigger picture?
The reason why i say this is, I know a friend who did that to someone, and I can absolutely say for certain from my vantage point that BOTH of them are much more unhappy.
