How do you deal with bitter feelings? [I Need Advice]

I had a ex-friend who did me wrong. I don't want to get into the full story but this person degraded and threatened me. Today I've moved away from this person and no longer speak to them but I see pictures on facebook and hear about them. My past with this ex-friend keeps me up at night. I get angry. I feel bitter and resentful. They seem to be happy and enjoying life. There's a part of me that struggles to see them be okay when they never tried to apologize for what they did to me. How do I let go of this situation? I just want to forget about how I was treated but I have such deep, negative feelings towards them. I've thought about therapy but I don't know.

I'm sorry to hear that!:(
Relationships sucks. People are fucked up!
There is no secret recepy for this kind of things but there are some things that you could do.
First of all look at it as a lesson so you'll know in the future to avoid this type of people. No exception!
What I'm gonna say next might sound a bit extreme, but that's how I do it. If you don't loke yourself and take care for yourself who's gonna do it?!
Block that person on facebook, instagram, phone number, sms, whatsapp, anuthingelse that you can think of.
Stop talking to commun friends in case you have any because in the worst case they are going to talk shit about you to that person. 2nd scenario they are going to tell you shit about this ex-friend an to the ex-friend as well. That's why you need to stop talking to those friends. Loyal friends are really rare. Im just saying but maybe you are lucky, luckyer then me atleast.
Find new people, make new friends. How? Start a new hobby, get into it (it can be anything, chess, poker, ligue of legends, learn how to code, play guitar, ukulele, get into farm anunts, learn about the types of bulbs that are out there. You get the point, let me know if you need more ideas for hobbies lol! The thing is to keep yourself busy. Ofc is gonna be hard but yeah you have to keep it moving.
And most important: NEVER GET BACK TO THE PERSON THAT HURT YOU NO MATTER WHAT!

Hope made sense what I wrote, sorry for the mistakes
