I recently went through a hardcore breakup with a girl I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. Sure, five years down the drain. But here are some methods that I used to get my mind off of her, and back onto me. 1) Realize that it's over. The biggest mistake you can make is pretending that it didn't happen. Breaking up for a good reason and getting back together isn't an option. You need to accept this, or you won't be able to heal. 2) Be sad Allow yourself to cry, and mope around. Do something healthy like poetry, and get rid of all traces of your ex. Recycling your love will be better than bottling it up. Recycling means it is reusable. 3) Leave your Ex alone. Resist the urge to call or text him or her. You obviously need time apart from each other. You might be ready for a friendship, but avoid all contact for the newer break ups. 4) Keep yourself busy The worst way to get over your ex is to sit alone and ponder on it. Hang out with some friends, and family. Play some sports, dig into some hobbies. 5) Snap out of it. You won't be thinking about her as much, but you may find thoughts trailing back towards it. Push the thoughts out of your head and stab them in the face. Replace them with happiness. 6) Make a change. Breakups are a good excuse for fresh starts. Make a fun change, give yourself a makeover, get into a new hobby. Learn to reform. Redecorate, or work out. It will all boost your confidence. 7) Let time go by. Time heals all wounds. The pain won't last forever. Even if it feels like it, hang in there. It gets easier. "Just remember that You are You, and nobody alive is Youer than You." I'm sorry for making this very sloppily, but hey, it works. -CPTWells.
5 years is a long time Sorry about things not working out with you guys. But I agree to all of this. Especially "breaking up and expecting to get back together." that's like the hardest part. Well written! Nice to have you back!
It was a long time, man. It's whatever. Happened last week. Life moves on, and there are other people out there. Breaking up, and other various forms of relationships show you what you like, what you want, and what you can handle. Not to mention how you can improve yourself.
Every heartbreak brings you one step closer to your true love because you learn more and more about yourself, and what you want
And the best part of all: there are a lot of other tasties to be tasted out there to waste time on one that doesn't want you !
