I’m now in the second month of life after a breakup from a two-year relationship and I’m struggling to figure out how to stay sane and keep functioning. During the day I manage to distract myself with work and try not to think about him but once I’m home the emotions hit me all over again.
Last night I even tried downloading dating apps thinking it might help me take a step forward. But as soon as I started looking at profiles I broke down crying and felt so anxious that I immediately paused my account.
How do people get through this stage?

I started therapy right away in week one, which helped a lot. My breakup wasn’t a typical one I was discarded so the emotional whiplash was intense. I was basically crying whenever haha.
i have had my fair share of break ups or dating phases that ended (4 total), and this one hurts the absolute most. It’s hardly been a month and I still feel hollow. But my new job keeps me mostly busy,
Honestly? I've barely been getting by. Two weeks post breakup, he came and got his stuff yesterday. I've been existing for my dog as I'm signed off work. My dog gets me through but also the knowledge that I'm not the only person going through this and things are even just slightly better than two weeks ago.. Let yourself feel the feels.
