It’s been 1 year and 8 months since my divorce, and I still can’t find happiness. People say time heals, but I’m not sure that’s true. I’ve tried moving forward, focusing on myself, and doing all the things that are “supposed” to help, but nothing really fills the void.

Some days are easier than others, but deep down, I still feel stuck. The loneliness, the loss, the what-ifs, they don’t go away. It feels like everyone else eventually finds their way, but I’m just… here.

For those who have been through this, how did you deal with it when happiness just wouldn’t come? Did anything actually help, or do you just get used to it?
