Venting I can't enjoy love stories anymore - suggestions for media about moving on?

[MissingThyme]

Watching something that I like otherwise and the love story just makes me sad. I used to have someone who I made happy, that could always find something wonderful to say about me. I could watch a couple in love or people being affectionate in media and feel joy. Now I reach for it and just find loss and tears. I don't hate or resent her for things being different now, I'm happy she's found joy for herself. I am just...not that person for her anymore.

I can't really tell most of our friends without going into detail about other things going on. I can't really leave because medically and financially I don't think it's possible. I feel like I have nothing left. But I can't really tell her or other people about it because they have their own things going on and then I'm just a burden.

Any suggestions for media about moving on? Finding meaning again?

I don't have any media about that, but I wanted to make a comment about.. The essence of this thread, and I think that is how we watch shit based on what we're going through. Or, better yet, on the things we have.

I've said it a lot of times but I cannot watch anything even remotely happy. I can't listen or consume anything that brings me a smile.

In a sense I'm cursed to only consume miserable things, because I'm such a miserable person. It's the same reason why I've quit all social media except for this place.

It's just too painful.. I hate being reminded that I'm not alive. That I never have been..

Goodluck OP with your search.

I only think such a story will work for you after you have already moved on. I would instead focus on stories with other themes or, better yet, a hobby. I feel like heartbreak just needs time and space; you can't force acceptance into existence ahead of its time.
