Man I’m probably not the best to give out advice on this because I’m literally going through my second break up with my ex. We broke up the first time a year ago and in between that time I got back on my grind. I hit the gym, started therapy, got back into drawing and just worked a lot more hours at my day job. It helped but here’s what you shouldn’t do that I really regret. For one, don’t keep her location on your phone if you were sharing it. The amount of times you’ll be looking to see where she is will mess with your mind so bad. 2, cut off contact completely. I tried to and she would text me maybe every week or 2 and I would always reply back or answer her calls. 3, I was always at her beck and call mainly because I wanted her back and she took advantage of that. Really made myself look stupid multiple times. And 4, do not and I repeat do not go out on dates or sleep with other people until you feel you are absolutely ready. The feeling of disgust and guilt you will feel after is terrible. Just focus on being happy alone in the meantime. Hope this helps

Here’s what I did. Firstly you need your best bud to hang around. Someone you can trust. Play some video games, play cards, go and get some Denny’s or something and hang out for a week or two. Not every day, but talk about it if it comes to mind. Next go grocery shopping. You’re single now and Lobster is expensive for two! It’s probably been awhile since you had lobster. Have a lobster and enjoy it with some butter and lemon! Next go buy some furniture! If she moved out of your place and your home looks empty then maybe fill it with a bookshelf! Maybe a new computer chair too? A book shelf never hurts and you can store books, movies, video games, music CDs, and other cool stuff. Building it and thinking what to put on it will keep your mind on focus. If she didn’t move out then still go out and buy some furniture! Your best friend could even help you put it together! Well that’s all I did and it really helped a lot. I hope it helps you too!
Keep yourself doing busy things, find a hobby, sometimes even go out for a walk watch a movie, call family or loved one. Keep yourself busy. Stay strong, you got this!
