Thanks benny!
its just one of those things the good things i am doing dont feel as good as they should but hopefully in time i will be alot happier about it.
Here are a few of the quotes i thought stood out the most:
Muhammad Ali - "I hated every minute of training, but i said, 'dont quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life like a champion"
Michale Jordan - "Ive missed more the 9000 shots in my career, ive lost almost 300 games. 26 times ive been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. ive failed over and over and over again in my life.... and that is why i succeed."
Bruce Lee - "Dont pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one"
Le Bron James - "Dont be affraid of failure... this is the way to succeed"
Thats just a few there are so many!! i guess look up a person you admire and see what they have said! on another note any girls reading there are so many great fitness motivational quotes out there for females... from looking up my own i saw heaps! and for the guys maybe give em a look to 
haha
Hey Ryan, welcome back 
It sucks you're having such a bad day, I hope things get better. Have you tried some coping techniques?
By the sounds of things the gym was working well for you. Maybe you should give it another go - even if you're not feeling very motivated (and in a mood like this, it can be hard to find that motivation) just try to pick yourself up and go out and do it, or anything else you think might take your mind off these kinds of thoughts. I heard a great quote once - in fact, I think it was on ReachOut! - 'action comes before motivation'. Basically, we don't really feel motivated to get up and do something, but once we're doing it we start to feel that drive to keep going. Keep that in mind
Take care, let us know how things go.

wow, hypnotherapy. Hope it helps you out, I'd definitely be interested to hear more about that experience if you're happy to share.
I think it's important to keep reminding yourself that you WILL get through this. I've been through a couple of really awful breakups - and when it happens suddenly (well to you anyway, usually the ex-partner has been thinking about it for a while!) and you can't get an explanation then it's incredibly hard to move on. Unfortunately it can take a while of feeling like crap to get through. For me, there's usually some sudden realisation that makes me feel okay about it and even though that doesn't make me feel 100% better it's the beginning of really getting back to normally.
Hey maybe this will cheer you up - at least (well hopefully not!) you've never been broken up with by an obnoxiously rude text message early on a Monday morning, from a 34 year old! hahahaha! I have, and look at that, I can laugh about it now. So there is hope for you

Good luck with the hypnotherapy Ryan! It's an interesting choice, I like it.
It can be hard to find a coping technique that works for you, and everyone is different. Keep in mind, as strange as some of them may seem, people don't recommend them for nothing. I actually tried something new just yesterday, I was feel pretty down and decided to give positive self-talk a go - it worked!
The idea behind self talk is that you try to talk yourself out of the negative thoughts, and replace them with positive ones. When you're feel sad/angry you aren't in the same state of mind that you would be if you were feeling happy/normal, so you start thinking things that tend to strengthen the negative emotion. By talking to yourself and explaining the situation in a more balanced, positive way, you can lessen the negative emotion and get into a better frame of mind to deal with your situation.
If you're interested, try it out give it some time, maybe 10 minutes, that way you get a good chance to get the message through to yourself.
Take care,
Dan.
