Is there a way to deal with a particular disappointment?
| Like, I know this kind of pain hits the heart, but I'm honestly feeling it in my whole body. I went to bed and I don't think I can get up.
| If you can help me, please do.
And I beg you to not give me self-destructive advices, since I can already do it to myself pretty well...
| I'd suggest distraction. You say you have no money, but you're here posting so I'm assuming you have a way to connect to the internet. Watch YouTube. Find new music. If you have any particular hobby, especially a creative one, do that. Exercise. I know that most things probably don't seem appealing right now but - try doing stuff. If it doesn't work for you, you can always go back to not doing stuff. But usually even just a few days of distraction can dull the worst of the pain
| And OP? I hope you feel better soon.

That's what I do for depression and anxiety. It's not the healthiest way to cope, but assuming that you limit yourself to until you get over the situation, it should work well enough.
| Yeah, I mean, I have internet and food. When I said I have no money I intended to say I have no source of income to go out and do out things.
| Have sex and have fun.
| >>737438 well not everything requires money to do, maybe not something you're going to want to do but I would suggest some kind of physical activity, it's probably not what you want to do but I think it'll make you feel better
| Eg walk jog run through a park
| It's a very rough thing to deal with. I suggest that you try to follow some of the previous advice here. Even if physical activity is the last thing you want right now, I know friends who turned to working out after going through these kinds of things and it helped them a lot.
I also recommend creative outlets. Drawing, writing, making music, or really just anything that can be used to express yourself, because just talking isn't always enough to express how you feel.
| If you don't do any creative stuff, then you should try it. You're never good at it when you start, buy getting your feelings out is what matters.
I also recommend trying out stuff like Discord servers. It might sound like a joke but I'm 100% serious. If you find a good server or some form of online group you can find people that you find interesting and at least for me personally, finding, talking to and learning about new people you find interesting is a really good distraction.

| Particular disappointment: gf dumped me for another guy.
People tend to say "well, try to do some fun stuff you like and reach out for support from your friends".
Happens that I have no money nor friends. What do?
