Just read through the whole topic, sorry you're going through this man. I went through an absolutely horrific split a few years ago, and reading this topic brought back a few memories. The dreams are definitely the worst of it, finally getting some sort of closure in your mind only to wake up to reality in the morning is super depressing. Ruins the entire day.

It took time, but I'm doing better now. I found that with really difficult times like these, it helps to make a really positive note-worthy memory. When my breakup was the most recent major event in my life, I spent months dwelling on it and had a very hard time letting go. After about 8 months of depression, I rescued a dog from a shelter. I wanted one my entire life, but never got one for some reason or another. She's my first pet of my own, and it finally started to begin like I was slowly healing from then on.

Now I'm not saying to get another cat or anything, more I'm saying to consider finding something you've always wanted to do, such as a trip or something, and work on accomplishing it. Something important to you that's been a life goal, so that it feels like a new chapter in your life.

I applied this principle to myself early last year when I lost my job super unexpectedly at a bad time, resulting in losing the apartment I was renting as well. Suddenly with a lot of time and freedom, I took a vacation to Japan as it was always a huge bucket list item for me. I felt it really helped me get back on my feet since the latest event from my life was a vacation, as opposed to dwelling on the job and apartment I lost.

It's a new decade, and I wish you the best of luck dude.
