Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

You really can't answer this question without going through a year of this at least. 2 weeks is nothing within the lifespan of a person's life. This is true for broken up relationships, divorces, death of a family member, death of a family pet, death of a close friend, and so on.
You have to be patient and wait a year. You have to at least past through the break-up anniversary. Do not make major life decisions (marrying, moving to a different part of the country, moving out of the country, switching careers, and so on) in this year of waiting. Just wait and (try to) enjoy life for what it is. When that year is up, you'll be more level-headed and less emotionally volatile. This is different from saying you'll be over the relationship (you definitely won't), but your internal state is at a stable enough point that you can resume actively living life instead of passively taking whatever life throws at you.
