Getting over a break-up is so goddamn difficult
| Have sex and have fun.
| I had the same thing happen to me about 6 weeks back now. It's gonna hurt for a while and it'll be invasive and ever-present in your mind for a bit.
The key is to keep busy just so you can't be alone with your thoughts. If you've got friends then see them, you've got the free time after all.
If you've got hobbies you can bring yourself to do, then do them.
Work overtime. Whatever suits you.
| Eventually you'll just come to accept reality, let go of what's passed, and start accepting all the new that's yet to come.
| Grief is grief. Break ups are no different.
Get some distance from yourself with other people or pursuits then at some point it'll seem like a distant memory, but one where you can feel both the good and bad without it dragging your mental down.

| My partner and I broke up amicably but man, can't deny that it hurts a lot. We both actually didn't want this to happen; our circumstances irl forced us to split.
It's been more than a week and I still wonder how things would go from here.
