My break up was 3 weeks ago, and I was the dumpee.

I think i was really stuck in the depression stage for a long time.

 

I got the closure, I needed from my former girlfriend when I came over to where she was and we talked it over alot. We both needed it I guess. After that I still felt like crap and imagined that I needed some reassurence.

 

I had confession with my priest and I soon realised I have alot of time and was moving really fast in life. I needed to just tell everything I had in me.

 

Right now I feel kinda free, not feeling the sadness or powerlessness of yesterday. Like more positive outlook on life.

 

I also want to know what do I do from here?

I'll tell you what I did..

 

Worked out A LOT, I think it releases chemicals that help you.

 

I watched movies like Avengers, played some video games with siblings, drove and went out a lot. Hung with friends and had a few drinks. School work has been pushing me too.

 

There is lots of stuff to do, just stick with a few things. It gets easier slowly.

For me, every day is different. I can go from angry to depressed to hopeful all in one day, and while some days are better than others, there are always the bad ones too where it all bubbles up. Overall, there is progress, but I can't really segment my experience and identify actual, gradual stages that I pass through. Other than the shock/denial stage, which was very distinct. But after that it has been and still is a blur.

 

As for what to do, I made a few suggestions for "active healing" in this thread. But I'm still on the journey, so that's just a snapshot of my thinking at the current point in time.
