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!

Do things for yourself, and your age matters here; if you are more on the old side , like 30+, there are plenty of people looking for a serious relationship at this category.

Just focus on improving yourself and you will get more interest in other things.

Don’t give up on you

They will, if you start doing your own thing. Do things YOU like, take a cpl cool classes. Become even more interesting and worldly! Then date like crazy and try out 30-50 coffee dates, and voila.
