This is an Ego boundary issue and one of grief. Its complex. Firstly, its normal to feel loss as you have lost a part of your "sense of self" and it takes a little time to rediscover who you are on your own. You have also lost someone you cared for, someone who was part of your dreams of the future, your plans... so many things. You need to get used to sleeping alone, cooking wihout them in mind etc.. its hard. It honestly just takes time and a bit of self love. Remember who you are not who you are with another person. There is a big difference. Learn to love yourself and enjoy your own company. That is a good place to be. Life will make sense when you rediscover yourself - I promise.

This question has plagued me more times than I would like. There is no easy answer because no matter what anybody can say, you will still feel empty. Peoples ordinary advice is "You will feel better soon" and it is true, but in that state of misery you just can't bring yourself to believe that things could get better. The best thing to do is try and get out of the house more, even if it is just you on your own. My favourite thing was to go to a coffee shop every day for 1-2 hours. It really helped me just to be around other people

I was in a similar position not too long ago myself, after my partner left me. I was left severely depressed, feeling like you described. Once hitting my lowest point I realized that my happiness should not lie in the hands of one person. I started caring for myself more, started daily exercise and made an effort to see friends and family at least every two days. My life’s purpose seemed to come back as I was healthier, surrounded with people who cared for me and was more confident than ever. I know that it is hard to get the motivation to start a change in your life when you may be feeling depressed, but you must find inner strength because things will get better!

The problem after a break-up is the fact we realize how much we've invested in the relationship and how less we've cultivated ourselves. Of course, breaking up is a huge trauma and we can compare it to the death of a loved one. This is the best chance you have to work out your emotional muscles and build up more confidence.
Embrace that void and take your time to fill it up slowly, without becoming dependent on others in order to function correctly on a daily basis. Think many people don't have the chance to be still and quiet, or looking at themselves in the mirror.

Go someplace quiet: a park bench, the lake, near a fountain downtown, and reflect on your relationship; think about what it meant. Your partner meant a lot to you. Your life may be different now. But you had a life before you met your partner, and so you will after. Your paths have crossed and now it is time for them to part. So take advantage of that.
Rekindle your passion: find a new hobby, an interest, pursue an old one, reconnect with friends, family. Take a walk. Go to the gym. Learn new things. Try new things. Watch a movie. Talk to someone. You can do anything you want.

We often have people we encounter in our lives that make us feel a certain way. Sometimes it is good, sometimes is it bad. It is hard when people that we love and care for are taken away from us, but we have to smile, and remember that it gets better over time. We are all on this earth for a reason, dont give up! You can be you without the being of anyone else. :)

Happiness, which is dependant on others is only temporary. Individual happiness is the most important thing in one's life and it should come from within. This is achieved by finding your true passion - by finding something you can do completely on your own. If you have nothing to be passionate about, just try new things. Don't worry if you drop them after just a few days. Life is meant to be experience to the fullest.

From one heartbreak to another, I can say that I understand what it is to feel completely shattered by the loss of a relationship. The best way to move on is to just learn how to find yourself again. Practice self care, and reconnect with friends and hobbies. Time is going to heal that broken heart- trust me.
