We all got our own personal hangups, I have anxiety and depression, with my recent breakup, I kinda started reverting 2 old ways. I had been doing really well until I found out he was sleeping with my best friend of 15 years, a neighbor who said she was my friend, as well as a dude who was my friend. When I found out, the 2 "women" told me 2 kill myself. I went pretty dark for a bit. What helped me was 2 stay busy. I started making all the DR's appointments I had been putting off, I started visiting old friends more, I took my son for walks, I met new people. That's how I got on here! U got this, just keep looking forward

The best way to get over a man is to get under a new one...they say...

Verified.

I suggest several trips to a decent massage parlor. Take money.

TIME!

With all this advice here it is time and sex lots of sex.

Duct Tape! That stuff works on everything but duct work. One of the world's great mysteries is how it got its name.

Keep busy. Keep your mind active with things of interest.
Acceptance, take it as "it is what it is" so time to move on.
Now I'm assuming we are speaking of a breakup.
Don't get into another relationship but a romp might offset the discomfort.
Some fun time and some you time is always good.
Make plans for self-improvement and self-empowerment.

I usually go for crying in the shower, follow my a sleepless night on more crying...
Sometimes I can distract myself with a movie or TV show, but then again, that can make it worse. (I don't recommend Rom-Coms!!)
But in all seriousness, time helps, eventually getting out, doing things, and when you're ready, being open to new love.
Good luck.

Be patient with yourself. Time will ease the sting. Loving and taking good care of yourself is important, along with distracting yourself with things that make you happy.

Don't stay rooted and get on with life to take your mind off of it and you only have one.

Like falling off a horse, get back in the saddle. Fill the gap with something else or someone else.

Usually a broken heart is best repaired by a Cardiologist or heart surgeon.

Else let out the pain, feel free to cry (best done in more private, yes women or men, settings or with really understanding friends), don't dive into food unless you include some exercise, watch some tear jerker movies (ok to publicly cry for these), go do some fun activities/hobbies and then take in as many comedies as you can.

Remember you are a whole and you will survive.

Don't listen to the Bee Gees song or you'll get bummed out.

Time is the only answer.

Kintsugi…

Time, crying, hobbies, outings, and 100% zero communication with ex (or whomever) that is not absolutely required or urgent—as in children, business, shared responsibilities or bills.

As much as it hurt me in the moment, the very kindest thing my cheating ex did for me about 12 years ago was to NOT answer my phone calls or text messages.

Time is the most important factor. Don't force it.

With a new heart. It's a new opportunity.

Duct tape and super glue.
