How do I become mentally strong?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down.

How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?
