I Have a Broken Heart

I am here in Holland, thousand miles away from my home, for my job, having a hard time to be productive in my work and make local friend. On top of that today my ex text me that she is getting engaged to some guy she knew from her college and asked me to forget about her (after all that 5years).
I can't feel any more shitty and morbid that I am right now. Can anyone with some experience give me some ray of hope, or something that give me my life back on track?

I can understand how you're feeling...I've been there myself! One thing that helped me was to just give myself a break for a few hours every now and again. Do something that you really love, just for yourself - this could be going for a walk, cooking / eating a great meal, playing a game - whatever it is you enjoy. For those few precious hours you can forget about everything and just focus on enjoying the activity you're doing. When you go back to reality, you'll have a little more energy to tackle all those challenges - work, making friends, getting over that ex.

Keep your mindset strong too - tell yourself everyday that you will get through it!

I've also found that 'Meetup' is a great website that tells you about all kinds of groups that are meeting up in your area (it's worldwide).

Hopefully that helps!
