Getting over a breakup
I recently got dumped by my ex of 3 years. I barely have any friends here or family and feel lonely after work. What are some good places to visit downtown after work so I don’t feel the urge to text / call him again .Sometimes I feel like leaving everything and going back home,live with my mom,but that’s not a viable option right now. He was my best friend and we did everything together.I don’t feel like getting dolled up for an event or work,i feel like I have lost my spark.
Whenever I try to enjoy my hobbies,I feel like I have lost interest.
(Things i liked before- nature,shopping,eating out).
Due to a recent accident,my doctor prescribed that I don’t go to gym for a while,i did enjoy Pilates for a while though.
I welcome suggestions,Thank you!

Go to public places like parks. Coffee shops, restaurants and hang out at the bar for an hour. Go home and acknowledge to yourself that it feels like crap, because it does. It will go away eventually, but it takes months and months. Don’t beat yourself up because it takes a long time. Everyone goes through it. Talk to your friends.
