A breakup two weeks ago is massive. So soon after I wouldn’t expect you to feel better than this, it’s good you don’t feel worse! Many people would. And when you’re ready I’d suggest thinking again on what your therapist is saying because they have a point. After a breakup you have an opportunity to do things 100% for you with no one else to please. As basic as choosing dinner and Netflix/streaming/torrent title or as elaborate as major world travel (visit some of those international friends - and before you mention cost remember traveling young and alone is the cheapest, you have flexibility in dates and accommodation you won’t have later with kids, spouse, tired bones that need soft mattress). I know it’s hard to see the opportunities in your situation but they exist. Small indulgences and bigger ways (eventually when you’re ready) of leveraging the advantages of being alone are the route to eventually becoming happier and stronger and healthier than you were even before the breakup. And from that strength comes better answers about your future.
