Day 3 of No Contact - Seeking Advice: Can Tahajjud Ease This Heartache?

Assalamu alaikum, I’m on day 3 of no contact after a confusing two-month online connection. It was intense emotionally but unstable - lots of hot-and-cold behavior, blocking and unblocking, being ignored after fights, and mixed messages like “I love you” followed by “it’s just attachment” or “I’m done.” I stepped back because my mental health was suffering. I was anxious all the time, constantly checking my phone, losing my peace, and unable to focus on my studies/work and other responsibilities. But honestly, since I cut contact the pain feels sharper. I miss her a lot, keep hoping she’ll reach out, and I’m close to breaking the no-contact decision. She blocked me on Instagram from both accounts but left me unblocked on Snapchat. She rarely used Snapchat before, yet the day she blocked me she suddenly became active there, and that’s making my mind spiral. On top of that, her birthday is tomorrow, and that makes this day even harder. I have some sincere questions: • Is this intense pain a sign that no contact is helping me detach, or is it just my weakness and nafs reacting? • Does praying Tahajjud help in situations like this, when the heart feels attached, restless, and overwhelmed? • How do I ask Allah to remove unhealthy attachment from my heart without forcing myself to stop caring or feeling like I’m being fake? JazakAllahu khair for any advice or duas. I’d appreciate practical steps - like supplications, short du’as to say in Tahajjud or before sleep, or daily actions that helped others move on while staying mindful and patient.

Wallahi, the sharp pain can mean detachment is starting. Tahajjud opens the heart to healing. Make a short du'a: "Allahumma iftah qalbi" and ask to remove unhealthy attachment. Delete app notifications for a bit and keep busy with salah and tasks.

I felt the same after cutting contact. Pain means you’re processing; it doesn’t mean weakness. Pray Tahajjud, make du'a for clarity, and do dhikr when urges hit. For practical steps: exercise, study sprints, and limit social media use.

Man, temptation to break no contact is real. Tahajjud helped me ask Allah to replace pain with contentment. Try short du'as like asking for shifa and relief, and keep a small to-do list each day so you don’t dwell all day.

Stay firm. The blocking/unblocking is classic hot-and-cold. Tahajjud + heartfelt dua helped me let go slowly. Try saying: "Ya Allah, akhrij hadha minal qalb" before sleep. If you slip, don’t beat yourself up, just restart.
