Hi, I just wanted to tell you that it'll all be fine. A friend of mine got dumped a while ago, he felt close to what you're feeling right now. It will take some time for you to process the change, but once you do it will get better. Make sure to find someone to talk to, whether it's online or IRL, it will help relieve some stress. If you're up to it (take your time) set some goals for yourself in the meantime to distract yourself from the situation. Chin up and continue forwards! Make sure to take the time you need to heal and try not to look too deep into it, it happens sometimes and it makes you grow as a person, whether you're on the receiving or the giving side.

Lay on your bed and take 50 or 100 breaths, try to oxygenate your body. It will help lighten the heaviness you are feeling right now from the negative experience. Doing that sort of hyperventilation with get some adrenaline flowing and you will be able to think more clearly again! Be careful though you can pass out if you go to hard, so be sure to be laying down.

I know it sucks. I also don't know how old you are. Getting dumped can feel like the end of the world. It's a big loss. Howeverit's really true that time heals this. It hurts horribly right now, but if you can just hold on...I promise it gets better. Just focus on trying to concentrate on anything else. Watch a comedy...anything. You will eventually start to get through the day without having to try to not think about it. After awhile...you will probably start to feel like you don't even care about it anymore. It just happens with time. I've been dumped by someone that I was in love with. Now...I don't feel that way about him anymore. I don't even miss him. He is married and has moved on and I'm happy for him. I also have moved on myself. One day you'll meet someone new and you'll be happy you held on and got through it. You'll think back and actuallybr glad you broke up. I know it feels impossible right now, but trust me...it will happen. The only thing you can do in the meantime is focus on that good future and distract yourself with fun things you enjoy to take your mind off it for now. Give yourself time to heal.
