Joy in life

[Wtd2018]

Broke up. Rubbish relationship at the end but feel like I have lost my best friend. Just don't know what to do. I see my friends, I have hobbies and things I do but it's all a bit meh. I have this constant sense of boredom and feeling lost. How do I get back joy in my life? Not sure I can find more hobbies. I already do them.

How long do I need to give myself to pick myself back up again? Am I allowed to keep feeling like this. I have an impeding fear this mehness will never leave.

How long ago did you split?
How long had you been together?
And yes... usually that 'meh' feeling goes.
Although I still have a bit a year on from my split!
It's just a case of keep going 'this too shall pass' type thing.
If you are really struggling and it doesn't get better and you are feeling very low then see your GP.
A quick course of Anti-D's might put things right.
Don't rule anything out.

@Wtd2018 I do not know how old you are but I expect a new relationship will be on the horizon at some point. Can you treat this time as a bit of 'me' time to do things for you?

You've got hobbies and friends, if you didn't have I'd suggest making new friends and pursuing new hobbies!

Could you use this time to get fit, start healthier eating (or if you are already fit and eating healthier take up meditation or pursue a religion!)

Anything that could be productive for you and help to shift you into the next bit of your life?

Remember to mourn the loss of your good friend, and to make peace with how things are.

Lastly, the best way (sometimes) to find our own peace is to help others.

Do some voluntary work, or signup for some sort of charity event (fun run for charity, helping in or with a charity) or an activity you've not done before (renovating a property or national trust garden etc). This might shift things from you onto others and open up some new vistas.
