I recently broke up with my boyfriend of 4 years, who had become a really important part of my life. How can I re-establish my identity and figure out who I am when I'm not with him?

Yeah. All relationship are hard to forget. I would suggest that your time to recover from 'him'. Go somewhere and spend a month or two in a new place. I think a new environment helps! :)

4 years is a very long time, you are sad an feeling lost without him cause you (got used) of him being around all the time, you have to tell yourself that he isnt around anymore and now you are on your own, you are fine without him (keep reminding yourself that), and you will get over it by time, just give yourself time
