Just got broken up with… how do I figure out what to do with my life now?

Hi everyone,

I just got broken up with on Sunday, and I’m still trying to process it. The reason he gave was that his workplace was overwhelming him mentally, and he couldn’t communicate with me the way I needed. Because of that, he ended things.

I didn’t fight for him, and he didn’t fight for me, and now I kind of regret it. I’m giving him the space that maybe he needs, but it hurts so much because I miss him and I love him. At the same time, I know I need to move on . I just don’t know how.

Right now, I’ve been throwing myself into work and school, but outside of that I don’t really have much going on. I don’t have hobbies or passions I’ve been pursuing.

I guess my question is: how do I start moving forward? How do I figure out what to do with my life and with myself? If you’ve been through something similar, what helped you cope and find purpose again?

Thanks you for reading 🤍.
