Any tips how to be productive and continue work and school after severe heartbreak?

I broke up from a toxic and abusive 8 year relationship and I’m in med school trying to figure out how to perform. Anyone have any tips?

You gotta Put your emotions aside when your a doctor you have to be Rational and you can’t become emotional over a Patient you will Kill a patient it’s part of The deal there’s never been a doctor that hasn’t Killed a patient all part of the job. You have to act Fast when your a doctor because by not being Fast enough and Being emotional can impact your ability to do your job correctly your headed down a Dark Path If you don’t even know how to Put your emotions out of the way.
As a dude we learn to Put our feelings aside when we’re About to cry or something we can focus on something else to stop the crying from ever happening.

Hey, congrats on getting out of that relationship. Just take things slow and day by day, and you will be fine. And try not to spend too much time alone.

Honestly I couldn't. I was a crying mess at work and everyone saw it too, I had go to the bathroom or find a quit spot a few times just to cry. I have never been the type to hide my emotions and pretend everything is fine at work while my heart feels like shredded paper. Sometimes I would have to call in if it was that bad so I could just sleep from the emotional stress I was in.

Visualization, picture yourself being a doctor, getting respect at parties, helping people who are hurting, dating other medical professionals, vacationing all over the world and having beautiful and intelligent kids

Ik it’s tough bro but you gotta focus on what’s important. Get that degree and think of the heartbreak later!

Think about all the pussy you’ll get by virtue of your occupation. Hopefully you can find some motivation there. Most of your kind does.
