Healing
How does healing work? I’ve never given myself the opportunity to truly be alone and heal prior to jumping into another distraction. Do you just endure the pain and cry until you can’t anymore? Until it doesn’t hurt anymore? How do I do this?

@Alicia I agree with you. Therapy is a great way to start your healing process.
I wasn't even necessarily referring to therapy, I meant to talk with a close friend or mentor or something. But therapy could be super helpful as well.
@Alicia That makes sense. Sometimes just having a good conversation with someone who understands can make a big difference.
Healing from a relationship? To me it was understanding what happened psychologically through an objective view. It doesn't help with the heart ache but it helps to recognize patterns in yourself and anyone that comes into your life - so we don't make them same mistakes.

It sounds like you need someone to talk to about whatever it is you're going through. What you described is at least part of the process (allowing yourself to feel the pain, and crying to allow yourself to release the pain and tension you're experiencing). But a lot of healing can come from talking vulnerably with someone you can trust. Talking with someone who can really listen and empathize with you can really help with processing the pain, and help you feel like you're not going through it alone. It can help you to feel seen and known/understood by other people, which is super important for our mental and emotional health.
