In reply to the discussion: Well I just got dumped. [View all]cherish44
(2,566 posts)105. My suggestion: If you're not doing so already, start working out
Seriously, those exercise endorphins are not a myth - it's a little hard at first but you'll be feeling so much better about yourself and life in general. I was stagnating in with a guy that I finally realized was going to hit a dead end, and got out. I went from prozac and xanax to healthy and feeling great after only 2 months of regular exercise and cutting the "crap" out of my diet. I exercise 100 % at home. There are free videos online or just buy some at a garage sale. The weight lifting one I have is the best...it's by Joyce Vedral, she was 60 years old when she made the video and she has a better body and more energy than most 25 year olds. (or I hear Paul Ryan has a video...teehee)

I've known the feeling rather well. Try to view it as an opportunity rather than a tragedy.
