Had a bad break up.

How do you deal with loneliness after a break up and irrational fears like you will never find somebody else to love as much as your ex?

Fill your schedule to the brim, distract yourself with feel good activities or good movies / series / books and surround yourself with loves ones.


Slowly but surely the hole decreases in size until its only a gap, and soon after that it closes completely.


That worked for me at least.


Best of luck, take care of yourself and remember to be kind to yourself.

I take time to myself, to heal, contemplate the relationship, and basically recover. I find things I like to do, reconnect with family/friends. Just rebuild relationships that may have gone by the wayside, and hobbies I have put aside.

Get busy. Find good activities and healthy distraction ( not start drinking for example but rather join gym or book club).

Breaking up, even if you didn't know them for a long time, hurts. I think it's because we mourn what we wished for and what we wanted. It's good to feel and accept your feelings, and then recognize that you're ready to be done with the mourning. When you get there, you can choose action. Everyone agrees with that, just keeping busy takes your mind away from dwelling on it.
I'm kinda in the middle part, when my mind wants to revisit it like when you mess with a bruise without realizing it. Yup, it's still there.
I still have to see him because of work, that's actually helping because I get to see how I was incorrect in a lot of my assumptions about him, I can see that my mind would like me to believe that he's a lot better than he is because it likes that nice soft escape from reality!
Reality is that he chose something and someone else, and that's ok, I will do that too. Someday.
I just realized I went off on a tangent about my own life. Maybe this will help anyway, just remember, this will be a memory in the back of your mind sometime soon.
