| That list is pretty good actually and I normally hate Cosmo. I have definitely been this person: "Hey, do you guys want to get together and play Settlers of Catan?" turns into "This was really fun. We should do this every night." turns into "Please don't leave me. Ever." Since you can probably work remotely, can you go stay with a good friend or family member, preferably in a different city? You need someone to talk to who will be nearby all day long. Sometimes when I really don't want to work, I have to psyche myself into it, like I'll start watching a new episode of a favorite TV show, slowly open Sublime in another monitor, look at my issues list, start writing a little bit of code, and keep Hulu on autoplay. I find that there is nothing more emotionally distracting than a really good TV show (which is really bad when you are trying to be productive, but not so bad when you're suffering). I think the key is getting past opening Sublime, once you start working, you'll have short bouts of not thinking about the ex. Also, could you go work at a coffee shop with a friend? They can make sure you at least go through the motions of starting to work and you have to compose yourself while out. I really feel for you man, I know it must be really rough. I hope you feel better soon :) EDIT: I just thought about the Girls plot line where Charlie makes an app where it costs you every time you text or call your ex. Would any of these apps help? http://techland.time.com/2013/08/24/ex-lover-begone/ |
