What did you do to survive the night of/after a breakup? (lemm.ee)

Boyfriend of 2 years (best friend of 6) just told me he’s started seeing someone else. No discussion. Just ghosted me for a week and hit me with this news. Thought he was my soulmate, lmao. I feel like someone just ripped out my insides. Just turned 31 this year, this shit is not any easier than when I was a teenager.

How did you make it through that first night? The second? The third? Is it really just time? I feel like my body is too old to survive another heartbreak.

Time heals. On the bright side, you're single during your 30's! Those are the best fuckin years for living life! You're no longer a child figuring out who you are. This is you're prime baby! Take some time to mourn. Then get out there and have some fun! Don't dive into any commitments YOLO!

Why do I want to be dead instead, I want the fun life living.

That's the time heals part. Hang in there, it'll pass.
