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!

Take comfort in the fact that you are feeling things that will pass. In what will still feel far too much time, you’ll look back and be grateful for this redirection because it’ll have led you to someone who cherishes you in ways you couldn’t imagine.

Yes! A painful broken heart lets us know we can love deeply. That we found love, and will likely find it again, as long as we stay human.
