I learned that surrounding myself with friends and keeping busy helped me get through mine and definately talking helped out a lot, you need some distractions and positive people to help you, set some goals

For me. I get massages. Sexual and non- sexual. I go to the dance clubs listen to the loud music.

Jay is right about keeping busy. Think about a hobby you like. Specially if it involves at least some socializing.
I prospect for gold, joined a club. I hunt rocks n gems, joined a club.
Thing is, put importance back in your life.
Also, believe it or not. Writing down how you feel in a diary/journal is Great therapy. You can do that here and keep it personal or allow others to read it. Its very helpful.
Keep posting, people here understand and DO support and care.

along with staying busy, and adding on to writing - i write about all the shit in my life. everything, everyone, and i don't hold back. i write about everything that's making me feel negatively, and then i burn it. and then i write about anything i can think of that makes me happy or gives me hope, and i keep it. seems corny. works surprisingly well. and yeah, obviously do things that make you happy. for me: cooking, listening to a murder podcast, and drinking wine, amongst others.

don't forget to reach out if you need someone to listen.

and don't underestimate fresh air!!!!!

Thank you all its good just to hear some words of advice! Not sure about massages though Peter! I need to keep busy again it helped me last time get through

I wouldn't recommend massages at all but I'm a sex addict so that's an obvious one.
I ride the bike in the nature or go for a walk, meditate (i.e. calm.com or progressive muscle relaxation on youtube). Generally sport releases endorphines. Also friends, trying to be social. Going to a regular sauna with a friend.
