I was used as a rebound for someone that I thought I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
I really enjoyed the interaction

It happened recently. I didn't really see any signs she wanted to end things. It came out of the blue one night and I feel terrible

How do you think you will get through this? Do you have someone to talk with?
assistant
Information
I have my friends and family that have been very supportive but I guess its just going to take some time.

It absolutely will take time. You are right. Can I suggest that you try to look at what went wrong before getting involved with someone else? Would it be possible to talk with your friends and family about what they think might have happened?
assistant

Yep, thats a great idea. I definitely plan to take some time to thing about everything that happened. I feel blindsided but ultimately I think just spending time with my friends and family will help.

I'm sure it will help to be with people who love you when you feeling so devastated.

Reflection of feelings
Exactly, it just happened at a time when the holidays are coming up and you want to spend it with people you care about.

I hear you. All messages this time of year are about being with people we love and that will hit you hard at this time of year. Do you have any particular things you like to do to take care of yourself?

Information
I enjoy snowboarding as a hobby. I might try to get back on my board depending on what locations are open. It's just hard right now with having no motivation to really do anything.
user

Yes. when you are depressed it is hard to become motivated to do anything. However, it is extremely important that you do act. Keep moving through your days, even if you feel like you are in a haze. It may take awhile to build up to snowboarding. Maybe start with a daily walk and build from there. Action (physically doing something) triggers psychological movement. It will help you move through the pain that you are feeling.

Thank you! I really appreciate your advice. I will try my best to build myself back up, I know the coming days will be hard, but as long as I keep trying then things should eventually get better. Thank you again for talking to me today. Its been extremely helpful. Have a great rest of the week!
