Im really struggling to move on has any one been in this position?

[Anonymous]

I (28F) recently moved to a new country 3 months ago, my boyfriend (27M) and I brokeup a week back ( long distance relationship) . He said I should just move on. I don't have my work permit yet it'll take a few months to adjust. I barely leave the house, I don't have any friends here and the family I do have here are mostly at work. I barely eat through out the day, I just eat once or drink milk to have a little energy, even then I barely can bring myself to finish it and I'm slowly starting to get depressed. Prayer has helped me. I think that's the only thing keeping me together right now. I can't confide in my family that I'm really depressed because they'll get worried. How do I deal with the next few months of loniiness? Starting over has been really hard on me mentally.

Dang, that sounds really rough. Breakups are always hard, but with all that other stuff going on too it must be extra tough. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but things will get better over time. Once you get your work permit it'll give you something to focus on during the day and meet new people. For now try joining some local facebook groups or meetup things for activities you like, even just to get out of the house for a bit. Exercise helps too when you're feeling down. And don't be afraid to lean on your family - they probably just want to support you. You got this, just take it one day at a time!

i’m sorry to hear. you could consider therapy if that’s helpful for you. otherwise, once you feel a little better, it’s just small steps in a positive direction. if you make it to a meetup group for example or go for a walk. for what it’s worth, i am stuck in a depressive episode myself, but i do have some structure. that’s the tough part for you. it might help to talk to a professional if you can afford it.

It Is hard Enough to Move to Another Country, Let Alone, Do a Breakup. And with no Work Permit just Yet (Keep on Top of That) It is even rougher. You Will Be Depressed. I Moved to A different County Last Fall and Broke it Off with my LDR of Four years. I Mainly Vented on Him for my own Resentful Reasons But As Of Now, We are being more Civil. I Got Back into My Writing (I have a Published Book out) and Being on Gag, Keeps Me Busy. And Other Hobbies I enjoy. Find some Friends if You can. Don't Find Yourself in a Slump Forever. xxoo

I always kept myself busy to avoid any possible struggles to move on.
