Sounds kind of like some of my story. I went back to school and got my BAS while my ex was out of my life. I am working on my MBA right now and ex and I are having trouble. I can't study. I am so upset by this break up that I just can't. I should have stayed away from her. This was important to me and I am going to fail out because I can't concentrate. I read and don't remember a word on the page. My ex went and married someone she knew for 5 days for a quick update while takeing pills, she has a pill problem. Now she is saying she made a mistake and wants to come back but her actions-she doesn't seem to be leaving to me. She is just trying to keep me on the ropes if she needs me and that is if. It is crazy and driving me the same way. It is easy to say study but I just can't. I have tried. I can't remember anything and it's hard to read through tears. I am a fool.
You need to really detach and let her live her new life. Do you have your goals in your journal? How many have to accomplished?
I understand about the studying part. I had times like that too. I finally realized though, that if I was going to finish I needed to get over my anger and focus on me. New haircut, new clothes, fun. And then I dove into my classes. Stopped taking H's phone calls when I needed to read or write. Stopped accepting invites to dinner or a movie or whatever. It helped me, but it also sent the message that I was moving on. Finished with a 4.0 too.
