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.

Some Tylenol for a day or two really helps me sleep. Don't wanna rely on that too long though

Tylenol doesn't help you sleep unless you take such large doses that you are trying to kill yourself.

A Tylenol Overdose is one of the worst ways to die. It wont be quick and it will hurt a LOT the whole time.

Pain relief helps me sleep when I'm in pain

Tylenol doesn't work on mental pain...

All pain is mental pain

And when I Google it, it seems to say yes, Tylenol might work on emotional pain

500mg is enough to help me get to sleep. I don't rely on it but it's something I've noticed when I have taken it. It's not knocking me out on its own but if I try to go to sleep it's easier with it than without it.
