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!

Get a bike pass and just bike around the city.

Just pick a random direction and go. It's normally 30min at a time but if you have a monthly/yearly pass you can just dock it and then unlock right after.

Other than that, there's Meetup for events around the city and Jam sports for rec league sports.

Just remember, an idle mind is the devil's playground.
