I purge all my underwear and buy new undies. I donno, there's something disturbing about using the same underwear as what I had with a previous guy. ...and maybe shave nearly everything and get a massage. Any excuse for a massage really! LOL!

 I've tried different things at different ages. What worked for me recently, wouldn't have worked for me years ago...
The main thing I avoid is jumping into new romances for at least 3-6 months. I avoid checking on my ex. I don't like to lean too much on my friends and family after breakups either. It's asking a lot and it's proven to take a toll on them. Now I recluse or "hibernate" until I feel more "normal." But I use to: go clubbing, date (if I felt confident), contact old friends, etc.
And, I focus more on other peoples problems. Drink less, or not at all. Play video games. Buy new outfit(s). Go on frequent long walks. Write.

reader, anonymous, writes (18 February 2011): Um, well...I wasn't in a relationship but my ex-friend was such a jerk that I was really betrayed by him. I pulled myself away from my friends and "hibernate" for months (about 5-6 months, no friends and hanging out). I internalize and internalize until I'm content.
