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

by realizing why you don’t need them, and sticking to that. it’s a process, you’re on the right track

You start small. Accomplish things without them, like going to a movie by yourself. Gradually you move on to bigger things, like graduating college without them. Soon, months and important events will go by and you'll realize they didn't have to be by your side for you to accomplish these things. Let yourself be proud.

Pain is part of discovering what strength you have. Discover your own limits by taking action each day. Wake up (VICTORY) get out of bed (VICTORY) go to the bathroom (VICTORY). Each step is one more without them. Each step is proof you can do it in a new way, without the one you lost. Don't be afraid to reward yourself for what was once silly. You will be blind sided with strong emotion, but these events get fewer over time. I miss my brother and you miss your ______. We both have a right to live our lives. So let us do it!

Based on my personal experience, it takes time. When I lost my love to another woman I thought it was over, I'd never be happy again. However in that moment I took a step back and saw that he didnt define who I was. I cried, but I got rid of his belongings. I whined, but I went to work and it was hard, people asked about him of course but I didn't lie about what happened. I could have but I knew it wouldn't help me heal. After getting rid of his belongings and reminiscing of him to Grey's anatomy and Ben and Jerry's ice cream I took a deep breath and went for a walk... I'm not dating because it takes time to fully heal and trust and love again but you will begin to live a life without the other. sometimes you cry, but that's okay.

Hi I’m not any expert towards this but with my personal experience I can tell you that this is not impossible and it’s not as hard as you think it is all you.... 1)start giving yourself more importance i.e., concentrate on your life college, work, career etc 2)do other things you love to do try out new activities that you have always been thinking you can’t and giving up example things like painting,cooking,diys there is so much to divert you from your past in today’s world 3) include a physical activity in your daily schedule....as exercise gives you endorphins and endorphins are really important to keep you happy and healthy 4)start loving yourself more and trusting yourself more I’m sure it’ll change the way you look at this world

Losing a relationship can feel like a mini-death, complete with a grieving process. First, you’re shocked and in denial. You don’t believe it’s over and you hold out hope. Next, you feel hurt and guilty. You should have done things differently. If you did you wouldn’t be in this pain. Then, you feel angry and maybe even start bargaining. It would be different if you gave it a second go. You wouldn’t be so insecure, defensive, or demanding. Then you might feel depressed and lonely as it hits you how much you’ve lost. Eventually, you start accepting what happened and shift your focus from the past to the future. You have to go through the feelings as they come, but you can help yourself get through them faster. For example, if you’re dwelling in guilt, make forgiving yourself a daily practice. Read books on it, meditate about it, or write about it in a journal.

What you are going through is very stressful, i could only imagine. It is completely normal to feel a bit down but going through that is the hardest part, and it has some good things too. I just want you to know all that has happened to you just made you stronger than ever, you have a iron heart, and you are not weak in any way. I guess loss is just another part of life. All im saying is now you have gone through alot, and it has made you more prepared to the sad parts of life. If you have no one to talk to we are here, to listen. Good luck

For all of us, it is unimaginable to start our lives without the ones we love. There are times in life when we can make the choices. There are also times in life when we don’t have any other option which includes starting the life without the ones we love. Time is the best of best medicine for all of us to move on when we are forced to start our lives without the people we can’t live without. Meanwhile, ask yourself why you need the person you can’t live without. What does that person make you feel exactly ? What qualities does that person have to make you not want to live your life without that person?

It's important that you see your worth and remind yourself daily that you most definitely can live without them, it's difficult but not impossible. When you find that person who you think is "the one" for you it gets hard to picture a life without them because you feel a deep connection to them, sometimes it's the fear of loneliness that makes you feel as though there's no joy in life without them. Building your self esteem is the best way to begin moving forward, you can build your self esteem by doing things that you love and focusing on other things that make you happy, new hobbies can also be a healthy distraction from what you're feeling and how often you think about that person. By keeping yourself busy as much as possible in fun ways is the best thing you can do for yourself and to move on, as time goes on you will heal, obtain a new sense of self worth and realize that it's possible to let go of that person and that it's they that lost you, you didn't lose them. :)

Losing someone dear and having to live without them can be very difficult. Take sometime to collect yourself, time is a big healer. The fact that you have come to 7 Cups is a good sign and that you want to move on. It may take sometime but you will definitely do it. Keep all the good memories and positives and use these to steer you forward. It will help you change your outlook towards things and make you look at them in a new light. Take small steps and you will slowly but surely be able to move on.
