breakup advice?

[quidam]

I just broke up with my boyfriend and I am absolutely miserable. He only wanted to make me happy, but I just wouldn't be happy. Now I'm definitely not happy and I can't do anything with myself but slump around and cry.

What do I do?

Clean and organize your living space. Pull everything out of that closet/dresser/desk/bookshelf and sort through it, get rid of things you never use, and put everything back neatly.

Look for opportunities to exercise. Take a walk and make a point to be consciously mindful of things like the shape and color of leaves, the sounds of birds, architecture, and smells. Do some stretches.

Be around people. Hang out with a friend. Maybe just go somewhere where there are a lot of people, like a mall, park, or cafe. Think about all the people you can see and how little you know about them. Maybe some of them are going through a break-up and they feel the same way you do.

Everything the others said is a great idea, but also don't beat yourself up for being sad. That's a really easy way to get into a cycle of I am sad/I shouldn't be sad/there's something wrong with me for being sad/I'm sad that there's something wrong with me on top of being sad about the breakup stuff. And that will make everything seem worse. You have a right to grieve.

Also, set clear boundaries for yourself about the kind of contact you're going to have with your ex for the next little while. It almost doesn't matter what those boundaries are, but if you need to not see him, not talk to him, not have any physical contact with him when you do see him, that's all totally reasonable. You deserve to be comfortable, and you have a right to define how that's going to happen.
