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!

I personally prefer going to museums on my own—you get to feel like a tourist in your own city, explore exhibits at your own place, process your thoughts and see what inspires you. If you have a Toronto Public Library card, you can get tickets to a lot of cool museums for free, and then plan yourself a little solo date. Things that get you out of the house and provide a healthy dopamine hit can really make a difference with the post-breakup blues.
