<human>: I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this post. Let me know and I can repost somewhere else.

I'm a male, 22 years of age in grad school. This past summer while I was at an internship 6 hours away, my gf of 2.5 years broke up with me. That was 4.5 months ago. I don't feel I'm over her one bit and while at school we are 150 miles apart. An obvious problem is that we still follow eachother on social media outlets....I know I need to stop that.

We spent all but 8 months of our relationship in a long-distance one. I wouldn't say I'm depressed, I'm sad and am missing the past. The future doesn't look hopeful, but I know it will go on. This sucks because by all other aspects I know I have my future made, career and financially-wise. I've never done this before, really, so some help on if this is normal would be great. It's hard to take male-friends advice cause most say I should just hook up with a girl when I don't want to and I don't have any close female friends. 

Mainly all I can do is think of how we both could have done things different. Talk about a horrible thing to do. Painful!

Thanks for listening.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: The time it takes to get over someone varies by person...but any opinions on how long it *may* take someone coming from a 2.5 year relationship?
