According to the Gita, how do I abandon fruits of my karma? Should I donate my whole salary and stay hungry?

A person who is moderate in food, recreation, work, sleep and waking, to such a person Yoga becomes a means to kill sorrow!

There must be a sense of balance in all your activities avoiding the two extremes of being a workaholic and being a lazy person. Similarly in your eating, sleeping, relaxing, you must be moderate.

Abandoning the fruits of actions means you offer the results of your actions to God. This doesn't mean that you will not receive the fruits of your actions. You certainly will! But when you work, you must perform it as an offering unto God and leave the results in His hands. You don't think about the results of your actions while you are working, and even after you are done with your work!

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. 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. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?
