Odd little thing to put out there, but what the hell. I just ended a 7 month relationship... not long I know, but I cared about this girl. Its been a couple weeks, and I feel entirely pent up. Been focusing on work and going out during the weekends, but it isn't enough.

I feel rather restless and entirely unfulfilled... Any ideas or advice on how to deal with this?

(Hell I figured I'd try and turn to the masses for help)

I just ended a 4 year engagement-so I can relate to you. My best advice is to try and stay as busy as possible. Surround yourself with good friends and family. May not help if they are "couples"-as this can be depressing to a point. Try a new "hobby". Don't turn to drinking-that is a depressant as well. Hope some of this helps. Good luck to you--and you will find the "right" one.

Just try to keep busy, time will pass and your pain and frustration will heal. trust me on this


Keep going out with your friends, try a new hobby, read a few books.


Good luck and Best of Luck !!

I agree.

hey space...waz up dude ?

Not much myst...you?

Heh thank you all for the advice so far. I figure I'll bury myself in work and overtime, and eventually things will pass. I never planned on turning to drinkin'.. though it was an attractive prospect at one time.

Ah well, I can always pick up my art again. get back to sketching and doing commissions...

Same ole shyte, diff day...

But all is swell...

hang out here, get to know the great ppl and have fun. that's why i'm here...

Aww,poor baby

Don't give up and remember

I'm always here 4 you

Aye twiddle ye thumbs lad, it be alright...might take it awhile, but it will be alright.

GREAT idea -- a creative outlet for all your different feelings is not only productive, but very therapeutic ... wish I had that skill! Sounds like you have a positive outlook and are coping well. Hang out here when you're feeling the need to vent - we're pretty good listeners (when we're not being smartasses ).

Dude, you are gonna have these feelings for awhile. Shows that you did care about her. When you invest time into a relationship (more than a month or so) it hurts. Seven months means that you guys were used to one another and that you knew each other pretty well, so yeah, it is gonna hurt. I basically feel that for each person, dealing with this is different for us all. For some, it might be focusing on work or some activity (hobby). For others, it could be to write that person a letter. Ya know, to say some things to get closure (if that is what they want or need). You just have to find something that will help you and give it time. As hard (and as corny) as that is (and how it sounds) it does take time man.

Good idea, a hobby that interests you and might be lucrative. Perhaps even some trips to locations to provide inspiration for the sketching.

Good luck and all the best.

Appealing to the masses was a great idea and I'm glad I did it. I've found something of a muse and finished a piece already. Its a bit odd, but it definitely has a 'starting anew' feel to it.

oh, and while I'm at it, if any of you have requests, I'll be happy to do them, then warp them to my own little skewed look at the moment. All free of course.

Keeping busy is not the advice I would give. You are suppressing your feelings by doing that. Try journaling or something. Being busy only works for so long before it catches up with you. Been there done that! Good Luck and keep your chin up!

I think the thing to do is to get laid.

Release all that pent up-ness.


I'm surprised nobody put that...

Can you show us some of your work?

Try to keep busy, it is the best thing right now
