How to get energy back? Feel so so so low energy after break up roughly 6 weeks a go.

Partner f 5 years dumped me unexpectedly, after losing my mum a year a go.
Suspected emotional affair.
Said some really mean things regarding my grief.
I want to go to the gym, running, etc but mg body and mind is just so slow and sluggish. Finding it hard to eat healthy, everything is a chore.

Help me and hopefully others get out of this slump.

Oh lovely I am sorry this happened. Be kind to yourself, do minimum effort stuff, but be consistent. Just a short walk to the end of the street and then do it again tmw. Also bear in mind the heat at the moment makes it hard too

In the evenings I have been walking to Tesco where there is a clothing bank and getting rid of small amounts of things each evening and also picking up what I need at the shop. This is a good way to get some exercise and have a declutter. Are you within walking distance from anywhere? Do a slow walk on a regular basis. Or gradually have a clear out. Get rid of 2 things a day for a month. It’s so nice to have less stuff and a good fresh start.

It’s really tough and a day at a time is sometimes enough. As others are saying, if you can get out into the fresh air and have a short walk every day that will definitely help.
Avoid alcohol, it’s a depressant and makes moving forward more difficult.
After losing my dad, the first time I realised I was feeling happy was looking at some seeds I’d planted coming up. It felt hopeful. Even a few pots of you’ve no room or time for a garden.
Mindful breathing can be a very positive thing to do.
Eat healthily. Hard to do when you can’t be bothered or just want chocolate but it’s amazing what a difference eating mainly fresh veg, salads, and cutting out processed food as much as possible can make!
i find the Joe Wicks online exercise programme really good, you progress at your own rate as you gain strength, very positive and encouraging.
Keep moving as much as you can.
This will pass xx
