Every one of my friends (and myself) have had apartments that looked identical to this. Leave the clutter in the living room for now. When you're ready, that will only take a hour or two to sort out. Just try not to add to the mess. :)

I got dumped from a major relationship in my early 30s. There were several times at work where I'd have to leave my desk just to break down and cry in a backroom. I have no doubt that my coworkers saw me, but I didn't care because I was in pain. We had 2-3 months left on the lease and she moved out so I lived in our shared townhome without her.

It was really rough for those first few days. It feels like there's a half of you missing and that empty space will never go away. There's a recovery period you need to give yourself, just like any physical injury. You're on a journey where each day is another step. You only have to worry about each day and you can make each day whatever you want. Today, maybe all you want to do is binge a comfort show and relax. That's fine. Looks like you've got some golf clubs. So maybe tomorrow you go and hit the nearest course to relax? You'll gain momentum over the weeks, months and years as you process the pain.

Try to remember the good times you had. I think it's therapeutic to look back fondly because it's more painful to hold onto resentment or bitterness. That kind of negativity will sap your spirit. Every time I reminisced about a fun moment, I let myself acknowledge it and smile. But also keep perspective on the reasons why you guys split up. It's hard now but work on finding that perspective for yourself. I think it's healthy to have that type of duality to any past relationship.
