I Know What To Do... But I Just Can't Do It!
I really don't know how to describe how I am feeling? I have already been through heartbreak with a man and have come out on top of it all (a lot of counselling has definitely helped), but I have two pictures of this man who I fancied previously on my phone and laptop still. I'd like to remove them from my phone by not my laptop. I would eventually like to remove the photos from my laptop, because I just know that I will never have a chance with this man now, as there is too much water under the bridge. I acknowledge that keeping these photos on my phone is toxic to my mental health, and I have actually deleted the photos previously from my phone and it felt as though a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. It actually felt great! What do I do?

Hey @-pringles- ,
Thanks for posting! It sounds like this person was indeed very important. Yet we read that you find keeping these photos 'toxic' to your mental health. I'm curious to know whether you want closure (and delete the photos) or whether you'd like something to 'happen'? (only if you feel like answering).
Hey @Chloe-RO ,
Thanks for your resposne! It really means a lot to me 🙂
Yes, he was indeed very important to me. But I kind of have a change of heart now. I definitely would like closure, but unfortuantely this will never happen, because while he has moved on in life, I am still suffering. I would definitely like to delete the photos, but I worry that I will forget about what he looks like and that I will never come across someone as attractive as him ever again 😞
Hearing you @-pringles- ,
We read the pain you are feeling is so real right now. Have you ever considered contacting Griefline? They may hold some valuable information about working through the grief process and getting some sort of closure https://griefline.org.au/
You are not alone in this.
Hey @Chloe-RO ,
I am a bit confused as to how to navigate my way through the Griefline website. I have activated an account, but unlike REACHOUT, I find that the website is not easy to use. Where do I find the notifications?
Hey @-pringles- 😊  I'm the mod on right now so I thought I'd respond. I'm not sure if @Chloe-RO knows how the griefline forums work but I wonder if contacting their forums team directly might be helpful to you? It can be tricky navigating a new space, it sometimes takes a bit of time and I'm sure getting some assistance from their team might be helpful! I belive they also have a helpline if you ever wanted to chat with someone on the phone. And well done reaching out to different spaces to support yourself, its beautiful to see 🧡
Hey @Chloe-RO ,
I have actually never heard of Griefline. I will definitely contact them with the hopes that they will be helpful.
Thank You so much!
