My ex and I broke up about 3 months ago, after three years of a relationship. We traveled all around the world together and built a great life for ourselves. When we broke up, I lost everything. The apartment we had, the dog we shared, and the friends we shared, all gone. After going on a dating binge, I did not find anybody who wanted anything more than just a quick ****. The fact that he fell out of love with me and that I can't find anyone to replace him is beginning to make me feel like I don't deserve love at all. I realize that believing that will cause others to believe that as well, so my question is, how can I learn to love myself?

Do you see a therapist? Maybe that could help! You could learn new ways to cope with you feelings! Please do consider it if you can and if you want. I feel like it may really help you right now. Do you have a support system IRL? Any other friends or family members that you reach out to? It helps to be surrounded by people we love and that love us back when we're going through all of this. Just remember to take all the time you need. Just take it one step at the time. Take baby steps. No need to hurry. I'm sure you'll be able to get through all of this. I believe in you!

Welcome to PC
Have you thought about seeing a Therapist to help you process the break up ? Might be very helpful

I see you are in Montreal, is any therapy covered by your health system? Hang in there. Breaks up could be rough but it should get better
