How do I start to live a life without the person I can't live without?

"The things you think you need for happiness aren't the things you think you need." -Irene Mueni I have personally been in a number of dependent/codependent relationships. It is just in my nature to be a caregiver, and sometimes a receiver as well. It took me realizing that I cannot rely, or let someone else rely on me for every little thing to begin my healing journey. It takes time, believe me, it is a process. However, once you realize all that you're looking for is within you, the entire world opens up and you feel as if you can breathe again. Take your time, and trust yourself.

When we build a life with someone, and build hopes and dreams with them, moving on and starting over isn't easy. It helps to talk to other people who have been where you are and understand what you're going through.

Do not underestimate the little things that bring you happiness. Whether it's taking the time to have a bubble bath, watching your favourite movie, or taking your dog for a walk. Do as many of these things, as often as you can, and slowly you will find more things that make you happy each day - outside of that person. And as always, surround yourselves with people that support and love you.

Cry whenever you need to and whenever you want to and listen to the most sad songs. Watch divorce videos on Youtube and know that love (sadly) is temporary. It does not last in most cases.

You can always live without someone. No matter who it is. At one point, you just learn to adapt. You learn to love yourself and be happy with yourself because you are enough, and it may take time to comprehend your own worth, but someday you will realize how truly enough you are for yourself. You start to live a life without someone by love the life you live. Do the things you love, really breathe in air, feel the music you listen to, see the beautiful things you get to watch everyday. So I guess the simple answer to your question would be, just live.

Well, here are few tips. And it is upon you to if you choose to use this or not. 1. Take suggestion from people who surround you.( well you are doing it right now). 2. Find a way out, you know what is best for you. 3. Try to control AT( called Automatic Thought). Google and see what is it. ( If you have already tried it then, make an appointment with a therapist. ) and if you have a therapist and it is not working for you then find another one. I think I cover all of the stuff.

That's a good question. I would suggest trying to make a list of things you enjoyed doing by yourself or with friends before this person entered your life. Take small steps if need be, but get back into the things that brought you joy before you ever met this person. Get back in touch with old friends or hang around family members. Try new experiences too! I hope this helped and I wish you the best. :)

You have to accept the fact that sometimes we are not bound to be with certain people whom we love so dearly and that it is okay to feel sad but trust me time will heal everything, you just have to accept the fact that you have to start a new life with someone else because it is what it is and if you are bound to be with that person, you will be.

Recognise that you have to live without this person. Find new ways of filling your time: new hobbies, sports, or even a support group if you are struggling. Reach out to existing family or friends to keep you busy for the first couple of weeks; don't be afraid to ask people for help.

It's tricky. When you lose someone important, its all about one day at a time. It becomes less painful. Try to surround yourself with people who make you happy. Do things that bring you joy. Be in places that make you feel at peace. Do things for you, it is ok to care about yourself.
