I've hit a crossroads in my life and I don't know what to do with my time?

Question

I broke up with my boyfriend 3 days ago (we'd been together 7 years) and I'm having trouble trying to keep my mind busy so I won't have feel so bad all the dang time...

For those that have experienced something similar...got any suggestions? What did you do to pass the time?

THX A BUNCH!!!

Answer 1

Hey, hang in there.  Time will either heal the wound or the two of you will make up.   Start hanging out with your girl fiends more again.  Get back into church if you had stopped going.  Visit or call your family members you've meaning to spend more time with.  You'll need the support of family and friends for awhile.  Have you considered going back to school?  Do some volunteer work.  Helping others will make you feel better.  Take arts and crafts classes.  Just get out of your home and it's memories as much as you can.   All these things will keep you busy.  And, some will help you meet new people. As in the one you were really meant to be with since it was not your old flame.  Best wishes, and remember this could be better door opening.  Mary Queen of Flirts
