Some suggestions:
1. Take up a new interest. Join a club.
Volunteer time. Just get youself out of
the house and away from your misery.
Making some new friends will help you get
your sense of self back and that is
extremely important.
2. Do you have a support network (like
friends or family)? If so, go to them.
They may not be able to do much but just
knowing that they're listening can help a
great deal.
3. Clean your place--dust, vacuum. go
through everything and downsize. It's not
fun but it's something to do.
I remember when my Signifcant Other (now
my husband) moved away. He got a job
ahead of me and we were apart for six
weeks (it just worked out that way). I
thought I would die. I was working at the
time and that helped a little. Each day
just went past and I visited him when I
could (a couple of times).
Right now it's been five days and you're
five days closer to the time you can see
him again. Try and find something each
day to celebrate--a beautiful sunrise or
sunset, a bird singing, the clouds going
by. If you can find joy in small things
you'll be able to find joy in larger
things over time.
The most important thing for you, though,
is to cooncentrate on YOU. Yes, it's nice
to think about him but don't depend on him
for your happiness.
Good luck and keep posting.
P.S. You could always read _War and
Peace_ or a James Michener book.
