Hey guys,

The short and sweet is that "keep gaming other women/abundance mentality" isn't improving anything for me after LTR breakup. Spinning plates doesn't bring me much gratification. Anybody have any other strategies? Been sporadically trying to hang out with friends and do my hobbies to consume time, but as soon as I have time to think, the obsession continues. I crave the emotional connection too much.

The story is that I had a LTR who moved in with her sister a couple hours away for a job. I decided, against better judgement, to continue as a LDR because of the brevity of her time away, about 2-3 months. As you can guess, she broke it off about 1.5-2 months into her being gone. I'd read other anecdotes and advice here, so I wasn't completely unprepared. I started gaming other women when I started to sense a downward spiral. As soon as the break up was official, I plated up a couple of girls I had been talking to. It's been fun, but it feels superficial and deep down I'm still a wreck. It's been about two weeks. It's affecting my sleep and my work performance. How does one break this dog shit feeling?
