Well. The best advice I got was to shore up your financials, and DO NOT make any major decisions for at least one year. You are going through a psychological death, and you will go through the same stages of grief that you might experience with the death of a loved one.
Be very kind to yourself. Do EVERYTHING in moderation... including alcohol.
Your moods are probably going to go up and down radically, and once you start dating... you are going to start feeling again. Be very careful not to rush into anything.
Start working out, if you aren't doing so already. It will help you naturally deal with highs and lows. If you find yourself being in the dumps for longer than two weeks, if you are finding it hard to get out... go see someone and perhaps get on a mild AD for a time.
MAKE A LIST of all the things you want to do, or ever wanted to do, but put off, and start DOING them. You may chuckle at me, but find a local dance studio and sign up for dance lessons. It is a GREAT way to meet people, they are all... like... HAPPY... and you have tons of fun. Ask Burgbud.
You will be redefining yourself, and that is going to take a bit of time. Don't rush yourself.
Oh. And beware of your 2bx calling you... especially when she finds out you are dating...
