Ooooh That sucks *hugs*

As I don't know anything about the situation and your habits and such I can only give some general advice. Getting over relationships is tricky but getting back on "the horse" isn't always the best course of action....

I would suggest you gather some sympathetic souls (and have a stiff drink) and bitch about how nasty he was and have a good laugh about this peculiarities while enjoying your favourite movie or something similar.

Depending on if you want to or not ask your friends to protect you from "the rebound".

*Hugs* I know how much it sucks

Here's my tried and tested method:

Drink yourself stupid for the first night... and only the first night. Don't go down that road... it sucks when you finally sober up.

After that, comedy. Laughter really is the best medicine. Either go and see some stand up at a show or get some DVDs. I personally recommend Bill Bailey and Eddie Izzard. It will make you feel better. Well it made me feel better.

well im feeling loads better now, i just had a bath and many cups of tea and biscuits! and it seems to have done the trick, temporary fix maybe but i feel alright now and thats whats important

OK, first off, *big hugs*. Sorry to hear that you're going through the big sucky thing that no-one ever wants to go through...

I'm glad you're through the initial hurdle though. It is a horrible thing, but you need to go and have fun, whatever form that takes is up to the individual, but you need to force yourself to have fun! Moping seems like the obvious course of action, but really it's not good.

So yeah, go out with friends, get drunk, have a laugh, do whatever... just enjoy yourself.

Um... yeah, I am quite drunk while posting this... so feel free to ignore me... lol!

*hugs*

I vote whiskey.

Honey, i got nothing to add except sending you more huge *hugs*... it was his loss and once the numbness etc wears off, you should show him that too. Hope you're feeling better soon *more hugs*

*hugs* Sorry to hear about this. 3 years is plenty and I know how much that hurts having been dumped from a 4 1/2yr relationship myself last year. I think you'll find your moods will sway quite a lot over the next few weeks or even months - it's a turbulent time, you'll probably feel great one minute then feel as low as anythig the next. There is no easy way round this, you've just gotta ride it out i'm afraid. Expect plenty of tears to come. I've always noticed one thing about emotional trauma like this though, the pain comes in waves that at first are close together and hit very hard. As time goes on the waves get further apart and much gentler, until eventually it'll just be the odd nostalgic look back. Also on a positive side, such upsets usually cause reasonably large changes in your life and change is very often good. I've found that my life has massively improved since being dumped - think of it as a doorway to a new life.
