How can I move on from a breakup?

[Anonymous]

I just got broken up with a few hours ago and I’m still feeling pretty bad about it. He said he was happier not in a relationship and I just don’t know what to do. I want to focus on myself now but it’s so hard

This is all still very fresh being that you two just broke up only a few hours ago.

I know that empty feeling and not wanting to eat or sleep, it really does hurt. The good news is that it doesn't last forever and as bad as a breakup is, getting cheated on in way worse. Honestly you'll probably start to feel better in like a week or two depending how long you were together for. Just try to take care of yourself, avoid drug and alcohol, or doing anything drastic like cutting your hair off or eating a ton of ice cream.

We were only together a few months but it still hurts bc he was so nice and then suddenly didn’t care

I'm sorry to hear that.
I was in an off and on relationship in my early 20's and at first the breakups were so painful that I didn't know how I would make it through it. I noticed that it just takes a bit of time away from that person in order to recover and slowly start to feel like yourself again, The nights are the hardest part to get through because you're overthinking it and you feel alone.
I think you're gonna be fine, it's just shocking at first and you almost feel sick for a while. It will get better, hang in there.

You are allowed to grieve about a break up. It’s completely normal and it’s going to take time to get over, but you are allowed to feel emotions and feel upset. On the brighter side of things, you are still very young and have PLENTY of time to find someone that you will marry and have a good life with.

Give it time, you will be fine.
