How to be happy?

[lostin2019]

Just that really. My five year relationship has just ended (badly) and I'm really unhappy and have no idea how to start being happy again.

Just wondered if anyone else has been in this position and had any tips on where to start. Currently feels like I'll never be happy again :(

I’m sorry to hear you’re unhappy but ending a relationship is hard.
You’ll be going through a grieving process so accept that it’s ok to feel whatever you’re feeling.
Don’t put pressure on yourself to be happy. That will come with time.
Do things that comfort and soothe you for now. Spend time with friends, go for walks, and generally make time for yourself.
Look after yourself as if you were looking after a friend. Make nice food for yourself and spend time doing things you like doing.
When you’re feeling ready, start making plans of how you see your personal future. Not in terms of a relationship, but for yourself. Maybe you have some hobby, career or health goals.
Take care of yourself.
