What did you do to survive the night of/after a breakup? - eviltoast

Boyfriend of 2 years (best friend of 6) just told me he’s started seeing someone else. No discussion. Just ghosted me for a week and hit me with this news. Thought he was my soulmate, lmao. I feel like someone just ripped out my insides. Just turned 31 this year, this shit is not any easier than when I was a teenager.

How did you make it through that first night? The second? The third? Is it really just time? I feel like my body is too old to survive another heartbreak.

    Keep a daily diary, starting on the first day. Just write the day number since the breakup, and one word to describe your overall mood (I usually use Good, Bad and Meh). First few are going to be rough, but you’ll be surprised how quickly you start seeing a pattern of more good than bad. When you get 3 good days in a row, it’s time to stop keeping count. It’ll happen quicker than you think.
