Hi Adv,
How do you deal with emotional pain?
I lost my gf of 2 years to another guy (I made mistakes and fucked up the relationship up to irrecoverable point). I was used to us getting back together, but I found out 2 days ago that she meet a new guy. I pleaded to talk to her and begged her to come back to be but it didn’t work.
All I can think about is about them together. I had never been heartbroken until today (I’m 25), and it hurts like a bitch.
What do you do when you are like this? I need to keep my life going, go to work and school, I can’t just get drunk for a week to ride the worst of it out, is it even possible to force yourself to think about something else? So far I can only feel a bit better by listening to non-romantic music and browsing shit, and it only lasts for a couple of minutes.
Just gotta let time do its course. Have a huge emotional outlet, like burning all of her stuff for example, and don't bottle all in. I learned that from girls, becuz a good amount of them can get over their relationship after having a big shebang outlet, while their bf years later comes back begging for them.
I'm just saying from experiences

Anything that I can do while at work? Do you know any betters to keep one self distracted or to reduce the times unwanted thoughts creep in? I have a flexible schedule so I could even go home, but I can't find anything to keep me distracted there either.
Bumping for advice

My mother once told me when I was a teenager and I lost my gf something about when she was broken up.
"One amazing guy I met broke up with me and I was dreadful. I cried for hours and even screamed. Then the next day I went to the movies with another guy and I felt happy again."
No mater how much you love them, or how long you loved them for, don't let them distract you from other amazing people to love.
