Try to fill up your schedule and keep busy as much as you can. Do you have any hobbies? Painting, reading, biking, hiking?
Hanging out with friends and doing stuff helps keep your mind off of things. Going out as much as you can helps to meet new people.
I went through the anxiety phase which was terrible. Now I think I am in the acceptance/depression phase. I tried really hard through therapy and finding compromises/overlap to work on reconciliation… but it looks like its not meant to be. So I fell back into a depression state now.
Its really hard after 21yrs of marriage not to go anywhere that does not trigger a memory. A location, a song, a movie, anything… its hard.
Try to keep busy doing stuff and active and I imagine the rest will just take time for this storm to pass.

Really great tips. Being busy makes it a bit easier. I find it difficult after 4 years, even though we hardly had any positive moments during these 4 years.
Can't imagine how difficult can it be after 21 years of marriage, especially as you stated there are some positive memories.
