Tips on healing from a break up?

I can’t eat.
I can’t sleep well.
I’m scared to put myself out there again because of how excruciating this pain is.

I don’t know what to do and I don’t know why this happened.

DO something active.

Get out. Go shopping. Have lunch with a friend. Go hiking. Go biking.

But get out and do something so your not up in your own head all the time.

*HUGE HUGS*

@Docdon23 Thank you

Time heals all wounds.

I've heard this expression many times in the 6 decades I have been on this Earth. And it is basically true. And... I have tried "self analyzing" the WHY? many times without success as well.

My "older and wiser" advice: Just accept that things happen for a reason and if you didn't break up with him, then you'd never meet the guy that is supposed to be with you (the one you will meet shortly... right after you get back into the swing of things)

My tips:
-Take care of #1 (yourself) first
-Hit the gym hard (helps you sleep and will clear your mind). And don't hesitate to look at and interact with those "candidates" that catch your eye while you are there.
-Remember that "You cannot have too many friends" (Because they have friends that may interest you, now that you are single.)
-Hold you head up and be confident (men tend to pick up on this vibe immediately)

Time

Try to indulge in your hobbies or find new ones

Get busy and stay busy, it will occupy your time and take it off your mind while you are focused on other things. Takes time to heal but if you can keep busy that is helpful.
Time. That’s all, try to distract yourself with something…or someone.

It just takes time, not much else you can do. Even worse if you do not know why it happened. The best I can say is reach out to friends, try to do things that will keep you busy to distract you. The worst is just sitting there and letting your mind run amok.

Sorry you are going through this.

Sorry to hear you broke up. I say allow your heart time to grieve. Don't just rush into another relationship to kill the pain. Time alone won't heal but hopefully it will be a start. (And no contact can be useful.)

Just consider that the part of you that all about him/her is dead. Don’t be harsh on yourself. Your new life starts now.

burn all their pictures and get rid of stuff that reminds you of them unless they make you feel happy

Recognize your worth.
Stay away from negativity.
Don't beat yourself up over anything.
Just know that it happened for a reason.
And that if it didn't end you would someday wished that it did. 🙂

Time heals.
Use it to discover yourself; you don’t need someone to make you whole.

Me too. I'm fuccing broken. Last time. I also was too weak. To stand

Give me a gun. Oh yes. I have one. Murder me and my healing is done.

1. It's not the time to think about putting yourself out there again. You can consider that at another time.
2. You know what they say about an idle mind, so get involved with a project.
3. Obtaining closure can be a challenge. Been there.
