Keep it up sir! I'm sure you can go through.
I've been studying hella hard to become a doctor, hope someday I'll succeed. It's been really hard to throw away every single bad habbits I've had cumulated. I go to the gym, I eat only good stuff, study hard and many other good things for me. Maybe you should give it a try, even if it's really really really really hard to get motivated. Being healthy and change your way of living might be a way to start anew.
It's been a while since I want a tatoo. If I make it to university in medecine, finally, after 4 years of hard work, I'll allow myself the nicest tatoo I can afford.
I wanted a time related tatoo with an hourglass and an eye with a clock inside with a sand-like thing sliding down my arm and a clockwork, gears and time related stuff with an hidden message somewhere saying:

I'm getting stronger
Step by step
The clock is ticking
But there's no time for regrets

Inspired by Heroes Tonight from NCS. When I began taking care of my body and mind, it was THE hardest thing I've ever done. But it only feels so good to successfully achieve all my objectives. It feels also really good to take back the control over my life, put it back on trail, and get rid of those bad habbits. I'm really proud of myself right now.

@Gameface: The only thing I can tell you is that sometimes, taking a break far away, leaving everything behind for a while, with only a few things, to empty your mind and heart, to put your ideas back in place. I don't really know how to explain and say it in english, but you get what I mean? A purge/purification is really close to what I'm trying to explain here.
Maybe also getting a tatoo with a meaning behind the drawings. Not some cheap stuff or some hand writing saying never forget (that might be bad for when you are alright for another relationship in a few months/years), but like the hot pricey ones if you can afford, that makes the others be intrigued and only you know it's meaning, maybe an object/animal she use to love as a memorial. You could like get an easter egg with her name in the drawing or stuff like that! That'd be awesome.

It's only suggestions and ideas but, maybe you'll try and feel a bit better after. I don't have much time nor I think about reading daily the forum right now. I was nostalgic when I saw gameface101 in my fav.
Being and overly optimistic person I'm sure you'll be fine! Stay strong and get stronger, step by step.
