I broke up with my boyfriend three months ago. He has a new girlfriend and I saw them out today. I was already depressed over the break up but this set me back to like it just happened yesterday. I cannot seem to move on. I feel so alone and hurt. What can i do to get over this?!? I just could not even get out of bed today.

Hello there, @Jean0523

I'm so sorry to hear you're having such a hard time, dear! :( Breakups are almost always hard and recovering after them takes a lot of time and energy.. First of all don't put too much pressure on yourself, just because he got over you easier it doesn't mean that you have to follow the same pace, after all everyone has their own healing way that demands different amounts of time :) What I did after my ugly breakup was try and focus more on myself and what I want from life, who I want to become, things I've mostly missed while I was in the relationship. Take time each day to make things that you enjoy, activities that help you reconnect with yourself like meditation, artsy activities etc. (depends on what you like). And don't let yourself discouraged! There will always be days when it will all seem like it happened yesterday but if you truly manage to connect with yourself you'll learn to "extract" what was useful for you from this whole experience and, most important, you will grow and become much more aware of your life, what you want and what you deserve :)

Hope this all helps a bit, it's mostly personal experience. I wish you the best of luck with getting over this breakup and learning how to be happy again :) Take care!
