Without any warning, I found out that my partner had cheated on me, so I broke up with him immediately. He didn't try to stop me. After the breakup, I repeatedly tried to find evidence of his cheating, betrayal and lies in my memories and in reality. I was in so much pain that I had early-morning insomnia for two months, waking up at five or six every morning. My depression was severe, and I often cried. How should I deal with my grief?

I can't imagine how devastating it must feel to discover something like that. It's important now to focus on healing yourself and finding peace within. Maybe talking to a therapist could help you process these feelings of betrayal and sadness.
It sounds like you've been through an incredibly tough time. Taking small steps each day towards selfcare might ease the pain. Try engaging in activities that bring you joy or tranquility, as this can be a part of your recovery journey.
The pain of being deceived by someone you trusted is heartwrenching. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family who can offer comfort. Letting go is hard, but it's also a step toward rebuilding your own happiness and trust in others.
Finding out about the cheating must have shattered your world. Consider focusing on personal growth; perhaps reading books on emotional healing or joining support groups where you can share and learn from others' experiences.
Betrayal cuts deep, and it's clear you're hurting deeply. It might be helpful to establish a routine that prioritizes your wellbeing, including proper sleep hygiene. Over time, this can aid in managing depression and working through your grief.
