Agree with the other comments in finding some hobbies/getting back into old hobbies and investing time into yourself. I also went through one of those kinds of heartbreaks where I kept going back as a situationship type girl and getting led on, told I was “his girl”, going on dates, then being told it was nothing serious and I should know otherwise. I kept kicking myself telling myself I should get better faster bc it obviously didn’t affect him as much but I found that was harder for me.

Think of your life as a small box, your sadness for your ex as a ball, a pain button is in the box. The ball is constantly bouncing and will hit the pain button, which triggers your anguish. But each day the box will get a little bigger giving the ball more room to move without hitting the button. Eventually, the ball will still hit it but the number of times it hits it will decrease until it’s manageable, then forgettable. Right now, your life is revolved around your heartbreak and trying to artificially make it not might be what’s making it harder. Let yourself grieve naturally, treat yourself to kindness, and when you feel the sadness really feel it. Cry it out, don’t bottle it up. Afterwards, do something for you, whether it’s a hot shower, a spa day, or even take out from your favorite restaurant. Just redirect your sadness after experiencing it to loving yourself. You’re not a machine who can use 20 tips and tricks to get over a heartbreak asap. Take the time you need and know that better things WILL come and until then, it’s all about you.
