I feel like a little pussy for it and I know there is nothing unique in this situation to me that no one else in this world hasn't already delt with but I can't help but feel alone. Just don't know what to do with myself since my ex left me. Its happened a few times now, whenever I get close to feeling good about myself and building my confidence back up I get some type of message from her. None of them say she wants me back but I can read between the lines and she doesn't know what the hell she wants. Its been difficult because I don't want to be alone anymore but I know I can't be with her again because I would only be setting myself up to be hurt again. But on the flip side I keep thinking of the good times we shared and I keep fooling myself into thinking shes going to come back and things can/will be the way they once were. I know I have a lot to offer someone special in my life and I know I deserve to be treated a whole lot better than this but I can't seem to help myself. I'm a freakin mess and I have no idea why I'm sharing this for the whole world to see.

4r3s,
It's ok, man. We've all been through this, and it's not easy for anyone, but have faith, man. You will make it through ok
You're right, though, you need to find something to pour your nervous energy into, and going through a breakup is going to fill you with anxiety. But you're definitely not a pussy. It takes strength to get just this far in your quest to stop smoking. And with strength, you'll move forward. You need to spend some time with friends, preferably those who don't smoke. Get out, have some laughs. Find a new hobby.
Plus, you'll find the right woman. Right now, you've got to focus on yourself. Being happy with yourself again is the first step to finding a healthy relationship.
Just my double penny
