I'm dealing with my 6+ years relationship ending abruptly right now. We broke up just before Christmas.

I wouldn't say I'm okay, but I am doing alright. The best thing you can do is face your feelings head-on and not try to deny yourself of going through the motions of being sad. I was coming home sobbing on some nights, but it's what I needed to do. I also forced myself to go out even if I didn't want to all the time, because I knew I needed to not be crying ALL the time. You don't want to end up being defined by your pain. So reach out to people and reconnect with those you've lost touch with, even if that means reconnecting with YOU; writing helped me a lot in that sense.

And uhh, even though I don't recommend getting under someone immediately... last weekend I got a bit of attention and it definitely helped. I don't think it would've been good a month ago, but this past weekend it was just what the doctor ordered.
