What did you do to survive the night of/after a breakup?

Boyfriend of 2 years (best friend of 6) just told me he’s started seeing someone else. No discussion. Just ghosted me for a week and hit me with this news. Thought he was my soulmate, lmao. I feel like someone just ripped out my insides. Just turned 31 this year, this shit is not any easier than when I was a teenager.

How did you make it through that first night? The second? The third? Is it really just time? I feel like my body is too old to survive another heartbreak.

This is the way. But comfort food could quickly become an addiction. So, pay heed to that

Yeah God only knows how much orange chicken and rangoons I ingested that first week or so lol. But my brain desperately needed the dopamine. I also had ZERO appetite those first few days so I needed something I really loved to eat. This was only a two year relationship so I can only imagine what OP is going through (having been his best friend for 6 years)

I just had a huge McDonald’s order. I haven’t had McDonald’s in years

It’s so good 😭😩
