Coping strategies following relationship breakdown?

[Tuesday11]

Ex DP left 2 months ago, there was OW involved. He said he hadn’t been happy for some time but I believed that things were fine (we had been through a bit of a rough patch last year) but had a lovely summer with DD and were getting on really well.

I feel like I’m falling apart. I know I’m not helping myself but I keep seeing photos of ex with OW on Facebook, loved up and out socialising all the time. He has barely seen DD in the last few weeks.
I know others have been through similar but looking for any practical advice on how to get through this and move forward?
I keep playing things over and over in my head, keep thinking about him with OW, feel upset and down. I feel angry at how he can just walk out on me and Dd and not care at all that he’s ripped our family apart.
Does anyone have any coping strategies which worked for you? I’ve booked an appointment with a counsellor but it isn’t for another 2 weeks

Stop tormenting yourself with social media. Ignorance is bliss! It can be hard I get that but try blocking any content that is causing you misery. Focus on your life, take up a new hobby and start finding yourself again. Tell yourself it's his loss and wasn't worthy of your love anyway.
Eventually them pictures and the OW won't bother you anymore.

I agree with looselips. Me and my ex split 2 weeks ago and I can honestly say I haven't looked at a single one of his social media pages since, mainly because I suspect there was an OW involved and I don't want that confirming. If I was looking it'd only make me feel worse.

Omg I'm glad I found this. My husband left me and our boy at the beginning of this week. I say he left I kicked him out as the girl he's been sleeping with for that last year posted a letter telling me! He's says it was just sex but for a yr?!?! He's not with her he says now but I'm falling apart. We haven't told our little one yet. I'm struggling day to day at the min. Feeling sick all the time, can't eat or sleep and constantly feeling anxious.

Amaz24 sorry to hear you’re going through that.
I feel the same. Just trying to cope day to day and focus on DD. How old is your son?
I know I need to stop checking Facebook, I know. I guess in a way I’m hoping that I’ll see they are not together anymore. It’s just so painful when you trusted someone and they treat you like this

My son is 6

I can't imagine still feeling like this in 2 months!!!

block him for a year for your own sanity
