<human>: Me and my ex boyfriend broke up almost 7 months ago after I had come back from a study abroad. We broke up about a week after I had come back. The break up was definitely only from his end and I was completely devastated. During the break up, he said really hurtful things until my last choice was to break up with him. My world was turned upside down within the course of a week (returning back to america, seeing family/friends, break up). We did NC for 3 months and it was really good. I felt great during the end of the summer. I created goals and demolished them. It wasn't until I returned back to school that I had to see him and talk to him. Now I see him on a daily basis and I feel like shit. I am looking to find my happiness again but it seems so hard. I try my best not to see him and avoid situations where he won't be there but then again, I can't avoid him and let him control my life. But when I see him, I feel like crap. I'm looking to transfer to another school or do another study abroad but does it sound like I am just running away from my problems? I honestly think that getting away from the situation and creating a new life for myself will do wonders for me. 

Does anyone have any advice/been in this situation before that could provide some guidance?
