You will go back and forth between depression and rage for a very long time. You will have good days and bad. One day you will think you’ve moved on, and that you’re over it. The next you will wake up angry, and down.

 

Most people experience nightmares, sometimes they’ll change to dreams of longing – causing you to miss him/her. 

​

You may isolate yourself, you may also surround yourself with people who understand you on discussion forums. You will have obsessive, racing thoughts – sometimes unable to concentrate. The tiniest thing could set you off.

 

You’re finding your boundaries (or they’re being reestablished). You can’t believe you let yourself sink so low. You realize how much you truly lost. Not just friends, money, life experience, etc., but also your innocence.

​

Your understanding of the world has been shattered. Instead of giving people the benefit of the doubt, you suddenly have trouble trusting – and seeing things in a good, beautiful light.
