Social media is a great tool to use to your advantage. It is an easy way to show your progress through no contact by showing signs of improvements and changes that you have made to better yourself. But I highly reccommend you unfollow his posts. This will only serve as a smokescreen to your goal of no contact for a month. You are better off using this time to focus on you and not him.
Day 14
After not being on any form of social media for the past 6 days I decided today was the day I would begin to try to show off my progress and betterment. First thing to pop up on my feed was a mutual friend of ours posting about their trip to Vegas. I went on a search frenzy to find hundreds of pictures of fun in sin city. I don’t even know where to begin to express how terrible of an idea this was but I convinced myself I had to see first hand what transpired on her trip. It was relieving to see everything while not having to guess what had happened but at the same time it brought me back to the memories we shared while also giving me a sense of guilt as to why I would have to see these pictures. We aren’t together so I shouldn’t be concerned even if I’m still in love with her. I had been making so much progress since the breakup. Im back in the gym, going out with friends, have been on a date and have been in better moods. This brought me back a bit. I Would have to grade today as a loss in terms of progress but tomorrow is another day to step forward……….
Thank you for starting this thread.
i am currently on day 9 of No contact with my ex girlfriend.
Yesterday while I was surfing Instagram I came across a picture of a mutual friend of ours in Vegas and what do you know, there is my ex in the picture. At first, I was confused on how I was feeling. Am I supposed to be mad or jealous that she is in Vegas a week after we broke up? Is this as her way of moving forward? Should I like the photo? Do I text her? But when I thought about it more I actually was relieved. It gave me insight as to why we may have broken up in the first place. I now know I can think rationally without completely giving into my emotions.
This gave me the wake up call I needed to stop and continue with my life. I have been back in the gym for the past two weeks and have been staying active and meeting new people. I have a date this Saturday where I hope I can convince myself that I can live without my ex. I am going to continue with no contact and stick to plan. Thank you Kevin for giving me a path to follow.
Wish me luck
