Single men of reddit, how do you personally deal with the physical sensation of loneliness?

I'm 29, a month and a half ago my ex girlfriend told me she was cheating on me and left me. I just graduated from grad school and getting ready to start my career and we were planning on moving in together and starting a life together, or so I thought. This was also at a time where I really needed someone, I'm an only child, and my parents are older, in their mid 60's and their health isnt the greatest right now and its just me, I don't have any siblings to lean on.

Honestly after she did this, I did not take it well and I haven't been taking it well. What really helped me was, probably the first time in my life I called up one of my friends and said I need help.

I found that recognizing the feelings and accepting them and finding a way to deal with them is often the best way for myself.
