I wonder about how helpful sites like this are, too. I used to be on here all the time, and it seemed more destructive sometimes. I was curious about whether or not my healing was hindered by it, but looking back on it, as much as I did revel in my pain on here now and then, I really got everything out. It was kind of like ripping off a band-aid as opposed to rinsing it under hot water for several minutes and then letting it fall off on it's own. I really could've just worked through it on my own and avoided a lot of heartbreak and pain, but it may have stuck with me a lot longer and I know

Thank you for all the encouragement! I feel like a change of scenery will be good for me in terms of moving on. I still go to the college where it happened, and I spend 80% or more of my year here, so it's been difficult to really get away from it. It's not devastating anymore, at least, just a little irritating now and then. Sometimes it doesn't even bother me when I'm reminded of him. It's good to know that it gets better.

I was thinking about it recently. I guess I never truly stopped thinking about him, I just started thinking about him in a different way-- from being terrified to wanting to kick his ass or something. I liked how I could see how much stronger I am, and how I'm not afraid anymore, but it would be nice if he would just not be in my head for a day. I feel like I've never gone a full day without his memory popping in for a second or two. Is there ever a time where it stops affecting you daily?
