Big piece of advice I would give is: pick up a new hobby. If you still enjoy your old/current hobby that's fine but during heartbreaks/breakups I found myself spiraling lot because they were fun things I did either with them or at least while we were together.

New hobbies necessitate new neural pathways which is a big help in getting shit off your mind.
