Seeking advice

Hey there everyone, just reaching out for some advice I guess. This follows a previous post about my 5 year m/m ending in January, me M(26) & him M(25). For context I was actively looking for rings and planned on purposing to this guy in the spring, but shitty things came to light (on his end) during a manic episode and I said some terrible things to him that I still regret.

He is the only person I have ever felt this way for and I can't seem to escape the feeling. I have tried to distract myself with dates, but every guy is just of no interest and I find myself wishing it was ex. I went on a date with an amazing guy last week and just cried when I got home because I miss my ex.

I hike at least 6 miles a week and I'm consistently at the gym. This is best I've ever looked and the healthiest I have ever been but yet I feel so empty. I'm not normally a lovey dovey guy but for him I was; he's on my mind 24/7 and I truly hate it.

My question: When should I expect these feelings to subside so I can move on? I feel so stupid for not being able to when he has moved on.

Looking for advice

​

Recently my m/m 5 year relationship ended, I'm also the partner that's diagnosed bipolar. I found out my boyfriend was talking to a guy who had sent him nudes in the past and who'd been his FWB. This isn't the first time he had been talking to guys who'd he'd shared a sexaul history with and it just enraged me. We had broken up before when we got back together we had promised to drop everyone we had that sort of history with. Things were going great, I was looking for rings because things were going so well. Then I found out about this stuff on Snapchat. I have no issue with him making friends but it seemed like he was only seeking out these snap connections with guys or guys hes had history with. He works in the field of mental health as a councilor and treated me like I was blowing things out of proportion. This sent me into a manic episode and I said some truly awful things that I do regret. I just feel so fractured mentally, I just want to die. Am I in the wrong here? How do y'all deal with this vastly empty feeling? I just feel like its the end of line for me. I still love him and miss him so much, but I'm also filled with rage. Advice?
