it's now been 2.5 weeks since my bf dumped me. i'm feeling better but i still feel like shit. i've talked all my friends' ears off. i've gotten sympathy from everyone i can. i've gone to the gym, i've done every activity i can. i feel like i've run out of things to do. i can barely even cry anymore (although i probably will). i need to be healed by now, but i'm not. and i don't know what to do anymore.

have a girls night out

done that. done everything. i'm afraid my friends are starting to get sick of me. i really don't know what to do anymore. nothing is working.

what about going on a date with another dude?

i can't. no way.

It takes time, and you need to learn to live again for yourself. Go out and do something you always wanted to do.

i've been doing all the things i wanted to do, and i was doing them before i met him. the only thing is that i am no longer a happy person anymore. he took that away from me and there's nothing i can do to get it back.

change your self talk, ASAP! you're putting yourself in victim mode "he took that away from me" no one can take your feelings or even give them to you. you generate them yourself with your thoughts! try for a moment considering that you are the bad guy, and say, "good riddance!" this is why bitches don't get dumped, btw. cop an attitude!

There's no empirical timeline. And yeah, keeping busy and relying on friends helps, but so does just letting yourself feel it. Don't pressure yourself to get over it on some arbitrary timeline. Let yourself hurt without expectation of healing yet. It'll happen when it happens.

i've cried every day. it's hard for me to cry anymore. but then i do again. the pain is subsiding but it's just taking a different form. i feel like this is the beginning of how people start to become insane.

No, it's not. It's what everyone feels during a bad breakup. It's just hard for others to remember how bad it is when they're not going through it presently. It's a monster pain, and it's just going to suck. I'm sorry. :(

thanks.
