good luck buddy24, come out of a relationship of 7 yrs and been made redundant. finding it hard. any advice?
23 and i just came out of a 8 year relationship and im going through the same thing. we moved in together and split up after just 6 months! we have been apart for 3 months now and i wish i could say it gets easier, but it doesnt cause of the little thing called love. my only advice is to stay busy. i work a little more overtime, spend time with friends and family, and if im extremly bored, i help my mom out with yardwork and painting and household projects. i traded my car in which was a gift to myself to cheer me up. i bought new cloths and colored my hair (i colored my hair dark cause he always liked it long and blonde) do little things for yourself and be selfish. go somewhere or do something that you otherwise wouldnt when you were in the relationship. if you find yourself alone and start to think about things, it sounds wierd, but i write a letter to him about everything im thinking. i dont give the letters to him, but it gives me a chance to blow off steam. good luck :)24, come out of a relationship of 7 yrs and been made redundant. finding it hard. any advice?
Take an interest in target pistols and after you are hired next, make sure everyone knows. Prayer is good.
Right .... here goes.... get a new job.... start applying now.... just get anything.... even a bar job to pass the time....





Then call up all your old friends and arrange to go out more.... Go to the gym and get fit.... book yourself a nice holiday.... and above all delet your EX from your mind.....





If you dont you will end up wollowing in you own sorrows .... and become very depressed .... It is much better to pick your self up brush your self off and get back on the horse .....





Good luck.....





Oh and if she has a sister .... sleep with her that will really get your EX's back up.....LOL
just enjoy youself, i know your obvioulsy finding it hard, but keep yourself occupied. perhaps get together with friends or family.


hope this has helped.... Good luck hun
things will be **** for a while but look at it as a turning point in your life your still young get a new job new partner in time and things will be cool again
Wow.......... a 7 year relationship and you're only 24........ that's a lot of time with someone during a time in your life that you do a lot of personal growing.





You have to look at it as a new adventure. You have changed a lot over the last 7 years. And the world has changed. Now is the time to see what you've been missing. Don't worry about finding someone new or any of that drama. Focus on YOU for now.... go out with friends, concentrate on your job, re-connect with old high school friends. Allow your heart time to heal. Cut off contact with your ex entirely... they will just drag you down. Mostly though...... have some FUN!





Good luck to you..............................
Ouch tha twould be hard, ok so you've been dealt a pretty low blow, My only advise is to immerse yourself in to other things.





Start looking for a job, even apply for the shitty ones where you'll know you'll get any interview. By doing this it'll help you practise your interview skills for when you go for the job you really want. Whether that be in the same indusrty or in a whole new industry all together is up to you. But know that you are a hard worker who is willing and wanting to work.





Once you have your new job the hours concerntrating on your new task may help your mind rest form the other problem and also be acting as a fresh start.





With that you may also want to start up something different as a hobby, maybe something you've alwaysed wanted to do but haven't yet.





And if worse comes to worse start up boxing and let your frustration do the talking whilst you become fitter.


Hope this may help you!!!
been there, you just need to look ahead and forget the past.
yeah just keep your chin up treacle, things will work themselves out if you keep going!
The biggest thing is dont let your self get to down about it go out and life live. be happy and stay positive. Life will move on i promise but you need to make it happen. Keep your head up i know you can.
Seek advise from Jesus and his Massive MIGHT!!! ...and marvel at his majesty!!
it will get better chin up x
Thank the heavens that you are out now and not 7 more years from now!





Yes, it is hard for all of us, even when we know it was not the best relationship -all the time and energy you invested. But now, spend some time on only what makes you happy - build yourself up a little (don't be selfish) and then you will be in an even better position to choose a great partner for the next round.
Yeah! Don't wallow in self pity - make an effort straight away to get back out there in work and social life - take a few days to yourself by all means but get out there early.





Whatever happens - look in the mirror and tell yourself it isn't your fault and hold your head up
only to keep your chin up, and dont let the b*s*a*rds grind you down, life is a challenge, and these times are sent to test. you are measured on how you react!!
Use this time as an opportunity to do what you have always wanted. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Sod it, change your career, move house, travel. Anything you want!
