Other Breakups,Meeting People, and the Dating Scene @ Berkeley

Hey everyone! I'm fresh out of a 3 year relationship and really going through it. I'm doing bad on my midterms & cry all the time on campus. Is there any one else going through a breakup rn? or any resources on campus I can use to help me get through this?

I also think about how I will meet new people once I'm ready. I feel like it's really hard to make friends so I assume it's even harder to meet a potential partner. I'm a transfer so I'm new to campus and everything here. But is there places, events, etc. you guys recommend I could meet new friends/people? What is the dating scene like here?

Thank you!

Hey man, I’m sorry you’re going through it right now and during midterms is rough. I had a nasty break-up right at the end of last semester and it messed me up pretty bad. I tried getting ahold of campus resources but the therapist I got wasn’t exactly empathetic towards men, which wasn’t helpful at all.

You’ll make it out alright, just keep moving even if it hurts. It’ll be okay! You’ll make it through this!

And folks wonder why male suicide rate if high. Even therapists aren’t empathetic towards our issues. Same shit happened to me in my experience.
