If you are going through a breakup and feeling completely lost, you are not imagining it. It’s not all in your head. Even when it feels like a part of you has been torn away, you are not being dramatic.

Think of it like this: “you are standing in the wreckage of a self that used to make sense.” Sounds poetic, but that is a way to describe the feeling.

One day you knew exactly who you were. You knew your role in a shared story, what you’d be doing this weekend, who you’d call first with good news, whose voice you’d hear before falling asleep. Then it ended. Suddenly none of that exists anymore.
