in the middle of a chat or a conversation with someone, talking about nothing specifically, just joking around about things, and you get an overwhelming sense of missing someone you may not have thought about in a while? Someone who maybe broke your heart? That *just* happened to me, and I have this tightness in my chest, and the need to cry...
 
wow

Know the experience although not severe in either the physical or emotional sense. I think we try to deny or bury painful experience and go on living without them and beyond them.

Sometimes though we get a visitation from a ghost of the past and the pain swells through as if the reality of it was still here and now and today.

What triggers this is mysterious to myself as it seems to happen at a moment that seems innocent and when I am off my guard.

I think this is a rather common experience but is not talked about as it is both intimate and painful. Who would want to watch a TV show where the characters were sorry lovers licking their wounds? Better yet what could you sell with it? Maybe Vallium or Viagra?

Replies?

It happens to me from time to time, I'm happy in my little part of the world and then suddenly I see a photo or something else that sparks a memory.

I'm not ashamed to admit I have cried within these rare moments, it only goes to prove one thing though, we do remember those we love.

That can't be a bad thing can it?

I'm ok, Perks- it was just really weird- I was iming with someone and the feeling came over me out of blue. I took a short nap and I'm feeling better, but still hurting.

I just wish I didn't feel this way- he doesn't deserve that much from me.
 
Déja Vu

Yup - all human beings, if they have a soul, get that "tightness" - It's called being alive.


Minxie, y'all are the COOLEST! :cool:
 
minxie i've had something like that happen, not quite the same though.

it's normal.
 
Thanks all, for letting me know I'm not alone. Just when I thought my heart was nice and hardened, WHOMP!- it had to happen. *sigh*....
 
Once in a while.. As I am chatting with someone I can be reminded of words said or something done and feel that tightness in my chest..

I try not to let it show a whole lot.. But it's funny how relationships from years back can still hurt like hell at times.

I dated this woman about five years ago and she broke my heart..

Hadden seen her is about 2 years and one day while working I saw her and my heart just dropped out........never even spoke to her just saw her........
 
Find myself in conversations... and some one will say something, and I think of my best friend back home, and the smart ass comment he would have ready to roll out. We could just go on impromptu for hours feeding off of each others wit.

Miss it becuase these people just don't have a clue how stupid they are sometimes.

When you least expect it ...... those feelings just sneak up and bite you right on the ass.


I know how your feeling ... and I empathize.




:kiss:
 
I lost my best friend two years ago to a misunderstanding. He won't speak to me at all anymore, and rejected my only attempt to figure out just what happened. We still live in the same town, but have not spoken in nearly two years. Just yesterday, I saw someone who looked exactly like him from behind in the grocery store. I made up my mind that I was going to talk to him...at least say hello. When the guy turned around it wasn't him and I was crushed. I went home and cried my eyes out. :( So I know a bit how you feel Minx. I'm sorry.
