Ex rebounded and it’s bought out all my worst insecurities

I don’t even know why im posting this but i am in a lot of pain. My first love, we dated for 3 years, and then i broke up w him after he began withdrawing and acting weird about the future because there was a chance i was moving away, but im not anymore. I gave him lots of chances to break it off if that’s what he wanted but obviously it was me who had to. He has graduated and most of his friends moved away, he works in a bar which he doesn’t really like and doesn’t do much anymore. I was doing really ok w the breakup until 1 month in i found out he’s dating his coworker, a girl who is on the same course as me at uni, same age, same circle of friends, same interests. And she’s also moving away! She’s just richer, more reserved, and prettier than me. I feel awful and cry everyday, i cant sleep properly or eat, i just think if he can date her why couldn’t he have put the effort in to date me? He is doing the exact same things with her he used to do with me, i’ve been completely replaced and i don’t know how to move past this, if anyone has been in a similar situation please give me some advice :( it’s so hard not to text him, i did a bit but it was pointless
