    It’s hard and it hurts. But time heals. Eventually it hurts less and less and then the hurting stops. Distractions are good. Surrounding yourself with supportive friends is good. And some people benefit from talk therapy with a professional.

    Maybe if your pic wasn't you with someone else you wouldn't have an ex.

    Alcohol and promiscuous sex is probably the worst thing that you could do when you are this vulnerable... you might do it anyway. I advise against it.
    You should come up with a personal plan... write it out. It's time to get a little bit self centered and focus on you. Eat well and take good care of yourself... Do things that bring you happiness... Spend time with family and friends and LAUGH.
    The demise of my last relationship felt much like grieving and it was..., there are stages and things that you are just going to have to go through, things that take time to work out. It's not easy... but in time, you will come out the other side.

    What she said....create your own life that does not include the ex....the things that only you like...maybe she didn't like your faux leopard skin smoking jacket and made you throw it out....get another one...day after my break up, I rearranged the house...to the way I wanted, and the way I knew she would hate. It was great therapy.

    Also, drink... and don't underestimate the therapeutic values of promiscuous sex (a friend told me to say that...lol)
