Friends, spend as much time with friends as possible... They will take your mind off it and hopefully you eventually realize that everything's going to be okay, and you will survive without your loved one

Basically, I can think of 2 ways. 1. Embrace the pain. Let it all out, whether it's crying (it's okay for guys to cry), scream, whatever. Take it ALL out. Do not force it, let it come out naturally. 2. Keep active. Go to the gym, jog, go for a walk, hang out with friends, rather than at home which may increase your depression and anxiety.

I can't say I know what you're feeling, but I know the feeling of heartbreak and it is not great. Take time for YOU. Do nice things for you, and get to know yourself again! I don't want to say try and forget your marriage, as that is something so important and a part of you now -- appreciate it. It has made you the person you are today.

Divorce can be a difficult process to get over and often can take time as the details of the divorce and me messy. With that said, If you find yourself struggling with "getting over" the divorce I would see a therapist to speak with about how it's affecting you and coming up with a plan to address it.

I think first thing is first you have to come to terms with the fact it happened and from there just take it day by day. Realize that you are a strong individual and that you don't need a marriage to make you feel complete. It is your partners loss and you should be there for yourself. Go out and have fun with friends or meet other people. Look for local workshops? Join a book club? Travel if you want explore all there is to explore. Just because one chapter of your life ends doesn't mean there won't be another one. A better one.

Recognize that it’s OK to have different feelings. It’s normal to feel sad, angry, exhausted, frustrated, and confused—and these feelings can be intense. You also may feel anxious about the future. Accept that reactions like these will lessen over time. Even if the marriage was unhealthy, venturing into the unknown is frightening

Following my divorce. I decided to go to a psychologist to work through a lot of the emotions I was feeling. I felt confusion about a lot of these emotions, and going to the psychologist helped me find clarity with a lot of things. Understanding why I felt certain things made it easier for me to find peace with those things, and also, I was able to identify more clearly the cause of the some the emotions I was feeling.

Getting over any broken relationship can be really hard. The key to focus on is "yourself", try to figure out what kind of attachment is causing you to not get over your past relation. trying to understand your reasons may help you to figure out the solutions in need. Hope this helps. Stay strong.
