I completely agree with Sabine's advice. Her advice would also apply to other situations involving a loss, not just a breakup.

I'm sorry to hear this. I went through a terribly painful breakup last year so I can feel your pain.
What helped me once I came out of the fog was making a playlist of music I loved that made me feel strong, and I lifted really heavy weights. I blasted the music and lifted. It was great. I need to get back to that! It was very empowering. Hang in there. I know it hurts, but you will be happy and strong again someday soon. |

I like streaming disco music on pandora and bouncing on my rebounder or just moving around
 disco makes me happy!

I was divorced for 25 yrs before remarrying, and I went thru a lot of breakups. I am now 66 yrs old, and looking back on the ppl who broke up with me, I am SO GLAD I didn't end up with them. They all lied to me, until I met my present hubby. One fellow had serious mental problems (paranoia) after our breakup and had to be put on medication; another one was involved in some immoral activity behind my back which I found out about after the breakup; another couldn't seem to hang onto a job; and the one I was most upset about turned out on further investigation to be guilty of rape in another state, which explained his moving around and frequent job changes. I was horrified. Granted, there is probably nothing on this scale happening in your situation, but I am grateful to the Universe that these ppl were removed from my life, even though it was incredibly traumatic at the time. Just remember that he was not good enough for you, or he would still be there, and emotionally supportive of you. Now that he is out of the way, it leaves room for somebody better to come into your life and it would be very healing for you to concentrate on that, because somebody good is coming your way. |

I would pick an old favorite with one of my favorite instuctors, since they feel like friends - that would be Christi or Kari Anderson for me.
Or something that you used to do a lot in a time before this relationship started, to remind you of yourself feeling strong & happy. Also second the idea of a walk with a friend. I'm sad for you, but this is a nice thread . VF can be comforting.
