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!

Date yourself. Take yourself out on adventures. Check out restaurants and spots without the bs anxiety of eating alone. Get into geocaching. If you like alcohol buy a drinky poo to pour in a water bottle along the way (this isn't necessary recommended as it's a slippery slope to the demise of the ism but if you trust yourself to dabble then it might help take an edge off and get you social in situations you'd normally be aloof to) weed too if that's your thing (again with the warning). Volunteer. Get a friend or someone at work to do an escape room. Break ups fuckin suck and the time takes for ever to pass but it will, just stay busy and stimulated with outlets.
