[quote=Anonymous]I focus on the things that make me happy, the things that I have the freedom to do now that I'm single, and remind myself of the ways in which he hurt me and made me feel bad about myself. The last one sometimes makes me cry, but it's a different kind of sadness and a good reminder that he was not the right fit for me. Odds are, he's not going to treat the new girlfriend any better or be happier with her in the long run--it's just shiny and happy and new right now.

But yeah, minimize contact as much as possible (if you don't have kids, there should be none). Make yourself a list of the things you want to do and when you're feeling blue, take steps towards accomplishing something. Or start a gratitude journal or make a happiness jar--whatever speaks to you. You have to throw yourself into life and rebuild and not spend every day wallowing in loss. (But I do think giving yourself the occasional day or hour or whatever to wallow can let you get it out of your system.)[/quote]
