I have recently broken up with my partner of three and a half years, without going into detail it was quite a trautmatic and difficult experience - I expected to spend my life with this person and now single at the age of 27 I feel quite lost.
I expected to feel sad, a sense of loss and incompleteness, what I actually feel at the moment is directionless. I have always found tfp to be good place for some wise advice. I feel quite alone in a materialistic capitalist society and I worry that being 27 and not a perfect nubile 'babe' I won't find a good person out there I can relate to.
Is this typical break up depression? What can I do to start over?
