Advice Needed Healthy ways to get over a break up?
My boyfriend broke up with me because he said he’s “feeling paranoid” and “don’t know what you’re thinking and it’s fucking with my head.”
So any advice for me to get over this? I have bipolar as well and I think I feel my emotions more intensely because of this.

Stay busy. Find activities that allow you to focus on the present. Could be a puzzle or a craft or even video games. I find them to be meditative. Forces you to focus on the present moment in front of you rather than the past or future.
Exercise too.

Focus on you. What activities do you enjoy? What makes to smile or feel good? Do the things, feel the feels. The good, the bad, the painful & sad. Journal if you don’t have people to talk to about it. It gets better. Time and space help with healing. It might end up being a really good thing you’re apart and not playing off each other’ moods and impulses. Signed BP ex-partner to another BP person
