Feeling lonely since my ex was my main source of social interaction for the past year It’s so hard not to message her since nearly all my time for social interaction was spent with her up until we broke up. Sometimes my close friends aren’t available, while to those who are, it would feel awkward to message first since I’m not that close with them.

It’s only been a week but it’s so tempting to crack, despite all the red flags of emotional abuse (gaslighting, projecting, anxiety, self-doubt, lack of empathy, etc) I had experienced during my time with her. How do I overcome this?
