Signs You're Actually Healing

Healing isn't a straight line. Some days you feel fine, others you're back in the pit. But there are signs that you're actually moving forward.

Signs You're Healing

• • You think about them less (even if it's only slightly less)
• • The pain comes in waves instead of being constant
• • You can talk about it without crying every time
• • You're starting to imagine a future without them
• • You feel other emotions again, not just sadness
• • You're doing things for yourself, not to get over them
• • You don't check their social media as obsessively
• • A song that used to wreck you now just makes you a little sad

What Healing ISN'T

• • Never thinking about them again
• • Never feeling sad about it
• • Immediate readiness to date
• • Feeling "over it" in a specific timeframe

Be Patient

Healing isn't about reaching some finish line where you're "done." It's about the gradual lifting of the weight. You're doing better than you think.
