Seasons greetings!
Today, it was the first New Year's without my longtime girlfriend. I've never felt so sad before. I hate my life. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Depression 2023
Today, I was finally alone for the first time in a year. I thought I'd go to a restaurant, but ended up getting there before they opened. While waiting, I listened to music, only to end up crying for several minutes because I haven't had a girlfriend since 2010, and never will again. FML

Today, I'm spending New Year's Eve absolutely alone. My girlfriend canceled our plans the day before so she could spend it with strangers and booze. Somehow, I still love her. FML

Happy holidays!
Today, I realized this holiday season is the first time in 4 years that I won't have a partner to share the holidays with. My partner of 4 years cheated on me this summer. I'm still bitter and dating is unnecessarily difficult. I wish I could just be happy alone and never feel lonely again. FML

Yay, Christmas! It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Today, I loved my girlfriend so much until she broke up with me right before Christmas, I was sad but, I understood. I would always vent to my bestie of 5 years and she said I was being too dramatic, and I wasn't even supposed to feel sad about it. I've spent Christmas being depressed. FML

Today, my girlfriend left me. I have no clue what to do with the holiday we have booked or the ring I was going to propose to her with on Valentine's Day. FML

Today, my girlfriend left me for my sister. I can't stop thinking about all those days they went out alone for "girl time." FML

Time to move on
Today, it's been a year since the girl I'm madly in love with completely cut off all communication with me. She called me crying a year ago, saying she couldn't do the long-distance, unaware I was planning on moving closer to her. Not once has she reached out, and has a girlfriend now. I think about her every night. FML

Today, I was about to kiss my girlfriend right as the clock struck midnight for New Year's. She put her hand in front of my mouth, and broke up with me. FML

The holidays are always difficult when you have experienced a loss or break up. Holidays tend to be times when we and our society idealizes life and relationships and when reality falls so short of our expectations it hurts… Time will make it better. It takes time to get over a loss or breakup. Do something special for yourself on those days, just don’t go overboard or it will feel hollow and empty. You will eventually find someone else to love and who loves you. In the meantime keep yourself busy during these times. Do allow yourself to grieve your loss, but I do think it’s best to set an appropriate time limit on that grieving process.

My best friend of 10 years got dumped like literally on Christmas by a man who she was engaged to. Every Christmas is hard for her, but each one has gotten better. This is just to say whether you’re dealing with a break up or loss, there is a process you need to go through to grieve and heal, and I hope the healing finds you before long. Just know that this one aspect of your life, although it feels like it right now, is not the determiner of everything else in your life, the future, or all else that life has to offer. I know it’s hard but keep your chin up and good things will come your way. Good luck
