Lots of good advice on this thread. I had also previously learned from DCUM that Tylenol can actually help manage the pain of a broken heart.

Find someone to have sex with, first. It makes the rest easier. |

New poster here. Had a blowout with my boyfriend last night, I'm pretty sure the relationship is done now. What he did is pretty unfixable. I moved in two days ago, too. So it's wonderful timing.
I am babysitting all day, and going right to my Moms to spend the night (she's conveniently away for ten days so I have a place to escape to). I didn't sleep last night, so I'm hoping I can just relax and go to bed early tonight. Who knows what will happen. |

The above, plus sleep, reading, and letting yourself be alone or taking time away from the world if you can afford it. |

Plan a trip, either solo or with friends. It will give you something to look forward to.
Know that you will survive this and you will be happy again. |

| A relationship gone sour? A marriage that crashed and burned? A long held dream that didn't work out? Who hasn't experienced heartbreak or loss? Sometimes I feel as if I can't handle another loss. Therapy, philosophy, religion. A helpful book is 'Feeling Good', which utilizes cognative behavioral therapy. I did CBT decades ago and it has helped, but there have been losses that still hurt. Be gentle with yourself and whatever it is, give yourself time to heal. |

I've found that living well really is the best revenge.
After the initial shock and despair, I quickly got down to the business of making my life more awesome on several fronts. I took a multidisciplinary approach (brain, body, spirit). I cut out the human dead weight in my life and focused much more intently on the pared-down lineup of people I genuinely love. Kind of the Marie Kondo approach to people. Here's what I didn't do: run out and replace Mr. Heartbreak with the closest warm body in order to "forget." For me, at least, to have done that in the immediate aftermath would've disrespected myself. I needed to heal my soul first, and blindly banging someone for distraction would interfere with that. |
