It’s strange how a life-changing event can completely shake up your perspective. The people you expect to drift away — they’re often the ones who step up. They gather around, support you, and remind you that you’re not alone.

A personal reflection on rejection, counselling, and the slow work of healing after heartbreak. Not fully okay yet, but no longer lost.

Woke up feeling good today. Had a proper catch-up with an old mate, nothing major, just easy company and a few laughs — reminded me how much those little moments matter.

It’s easy, after a breakup, to get stuck in the why. Why did this happen? Why didn’t they try harder? Why wasn’t I enough? I’ve asked all of those questions — more times than I care to admit. But lately, I’ve started asking a different one: What can I do to be better?

Last night, I made a mistake. Not a catastrophic one — but one that reminded me just how delicate healing can be. Back when everything first happened, I removed one of my wife’s friends from Facebook. Emotions were raw, and I didn’t feel comfortable having that connection at the time. Later, when things felt like they were settling, I tried to add her back, only to find I’d been blocked. It didn’t make much sense to me — she hadn’t been involved in our relationship for the last few years, had made promises to see my wife but never followed…

But here’s the truth you already know — the one you’ve been brave enough to say out loud: You’re not talking to the woman you married.That version of her — the kind, grounded, connected one — doesn’t exist right now.

Today, I got the keys to my new place. You’d think I’d feel some relief — some joy, even. But mostly, I just feel grief. Four years gone in a matter of weeks. For what? What was it all about? At first it was me… and my reaction to what she was telling me. She’d been struggling silently, I didn’t spot the signs, and she just wasn’t happy.

I’ve come to a stark realisation. I’ve been fighting so hard for the person I love. But the person I’m fighting? It’s the wrong person. The person I’m fighting now is a shadow — a ghost of the woman I once loved.A shell, filled with lies, betrayal, and behaviour so far removed from who my wife used to be.This version of her? She’s doing things the woman I married would never even consider.

A Personal Reflection on Resilience and Self-Compassion For as long as I can remember, my life has been a series of peaks and valleys—an ever-changing landscape shaped by my mental health. While there have been moments lit with hope and quiet contentment, I have also known nights when the world pressed down so heavily I could scarcely breathe. Over the last decade or so, I found a rare, hard-won consistency. A gentle plateau. My thoughts no longer veered into dangerous territory, anxiety kept its claws mostly sheathed, and I learned to trust in the delicate balance of medications that, while…
