Stories of recovery from heartbreak

[heartbroken40]

Well, I am well and truly heartbroken. The man with whom I was dreaming a future actually only wanted sex and once he got it has disappeared.

Can I please have some stories of recovery from heartbreak? Has anyone ever been able to move on and forget the biggest love of their lives?

Please do tell me your stories of finding peace and contentment. How long did it take?

Thanks

Another day has passed, I feel so empty. Life goes on around me but I feel the purpose in my life has gone.

I want to go away for a couple of weeks but I am worried about being alone with my thoughts. Tried to watch some TV and read a book but I can't concentrate.

What is there to do to switch off my mind?

How about volunteering? Something you can get passionate about? Helping others can help yourself too.

Walking/running helped me too. Or anything physical - I exhausted myself so much I didn't have the energy to overthink as much.

But mostly, it's ok not to be ok. Sometimes you have to go with it and keep putting one foot in front of the easier until it gets easier. Which it will.

Muddle I don't have the energy to do anything, this morning I thought I could not go to work because I could not put one foot in front of the other.

I guess it will take some time to get out of this daze, maybe I need to take a couple of days off and just sleep.

But once I feel better I think I will do some running I like the idea at least. Thanks for the suggestion

What about Mindfulness.
