How is one supposed to recover? You go from high school dating the one you love and having friends and not a care in the world. Then, after three and a half years of dating, that shockwave hits. And your left with your ass on the ground, ears ringing, wondering what the F happened. Your true love leaves, and most or all of your friends now seem estranged if not gone. Then you realize that, you hadn't really met people in college or made tight knit friends. And your now into the final years of college, off campus away from everything, seemingly left with nothing but your studies. How is one supposed to move on, meet new people when your more of a reserved person. Make those new friends and hopefully find someone else and get over the mess that just leaves you feeling like everything choice you made previously has led you to feel completely alone?

Sorry to hear this happened to you as well, what you just described sounds exactly like my situation.

 

I just finished finals, have 1 semester left, and at my current job I only work with old guys in their late 30s. Also I don't really have any close friends because I spent all of my time with my high school sweet heart (6 years); and I too am reserved.

 

The one thing that keeps me going is knowing there is someone else out there better for me, someone who would fight to keep me in their life and not walk away so easily.

 

Also it's important to note that the next love of your life will not come into your life if you are feeling discouraged and down about yourself. You need to work on your physical and mental self. Improve these aspects of your life and one day you will find that special person that cares just as much about you as you them. It may not happen instantaneously like we all hope it would but in due time.

Likewise.

 

I try and make it a habit to go out and do something every day (besides work). Even if it's just buying a coffee or walking the dog; staying inside or working all day can be a real downer.

apologies for taking so long to reply. I've actually been trying your advice. Most days if i am able to get away and do something, it does help if even in the slightest. Yet there are those days when you just can't seem to get away from everything.
