Try something that's outside your box. I embraced being more social, having more fun, getting tattoos, learning a new instrumnent. Go outside the comfort zone that people get into when they start a relationship.

Get connected with what's going on in your life now and focus on the present. Healing comes in time and can't be hurried but becomes more tolerable when you accept what happened happened is now in the past. You can't change it but you can let go of it, learn from it, and get on with your life. You have to responsibly take care of the most important person in your life which is you and let go of the past, live in the now, and work towards a better future by living a life independent of needing that other person.

Boy, I wish I knew. I guess it depends on how it ended. A long time ago I had to hate the female in question. It was pretty stupid.
Time is the only known surething.

first accept that it's normal. If its recent then you haven't given yourself enough time to heal some people take longer than others. remember to not let it take over your whole life interfering with all the other good things in your life. and as cliche as this is it is true there are plenty of fish in the sea... it's called heartbreak for a reason. and sometimes that happens more than once..

I remember when I was younger when having a break up my mind could not stop making up reasons why does person didn't want to be with me anymore..Our mind makes up way worse scenarios and plays over and over in our minds..
if you have some girlfriends maybe spend some more time with him have a girls night out or a girls night in and don't even think about guys.

Time and patience with yourself

I wish I knew for sure. There's nothing unique in telling you that time is the healer, but it is still valid. Many years ago mine was broken. I immersed myself in my studies, busied myself with extracurriculars, and, eventually, got over it.

It depends on the previous relationship; how long, how deep. Luckily, for both of my break-ups I stayed in my home and had a community around me and I fostered some close friendships. Getting involved in volunteer work also helped. Unfortunately, every person and every situation is different.

Been there! Many times! It's very similar to any other form of loss. For me, the biggest thing that helped me is a no contact of any kind rule. No calling , texting and no social social media stalking. You can't go around grief , but you have to go through it . It does take time. If, and only if ,you have a no contact rule you'll notice that the more time goes by the less you think of this person.

Could try the rebound sex thing (does not always work, you could try). It is hard especially if you can't connect with someone new.

Time and distance is the only thing that has ever worked for me. Rebound sex is fun but doesn’t really cure the heartbreak. Good luck. I feel you, trust me.

Depends on you, the situation, and how those variables interact. You could write or talk about it, if that might help. Distract yourself from it. Just take some time alone to fully feel and process. Figure out what was good and bad in the relationship so that you can try to make sure your next one is better.
Maybe none of these things and you just slowly heal over time.

Short term alcohol works, long term time is the only healer.

As others mentioned, time heals and absolute NO contact rules work the best. Erase everything. Take time as much as you need. We go through the same stages in any traumatic event. 1 Dinial, 2.Anger, 3.Bargaining,4. Sadness, 5. Acceptance

Where are you at? I am going 4 and 5,back and forth and back and forth. But I feel I will be at stage 5 completely very very soon.

It takes time. You're young and attractive get busy with friends, check out Meetup.com and keep busy.

I wish I knew.

Grieve as long as you need to, we hold on often to the attachment of the relationship we were in. Life changes , love and nuture yourself ;and become fully aware of whatever happened to end it , now hopefully you can see what your part was in it ,so it does not present itself again . You now are aware of what you don’t want from a relationship! Happy travels from here on out.

Drugs, alcohol, time, and someone else. You should probably just go with time and someone else.

They say the best way to vey over someone old is you get under someone new...
Although it can be fun I don't think it works.
Try getting out with friends as much as possible. Also keeping a journal helped me. You can write everything you are holding in and it does give a bit of relief.
Best wishes to a speedy recovery on your heartache! ♡

Burning his things and cutting him out of your life helps. Like completely.

Many a person might suggest that if you've never had your heart broken, then you haven't lived. I seem to remember that's it's a horribly painful experience that makes one terribly despondent and woefully unhappy whilst experiencing it. In hindsight, years later, many people feel that the process added to their if life experience in a positive way ultimately. People say that time is a healer. That's all the philosophical crap out the way , but in practical terms, I think it helps if you distract yourself by embracing another passion, such as Sport, Work, Dancing etc, whatever floats your boat and allows you to see that there is life after love and life can be great fun and shit sometimes. It's that very experience of both sides of the coin, that gives you "perspective" and "contentment" in later stages of ones life. Good luck ?

My mom gave me good advice about that long ago. She said the best way to get over a broken heart is to find someone new.

Took me two years to get interested in dating again. That was from 1988. Most recent breakup was more like a celebration So each one is different.

I've been terrible at getting over women in the past. Like some have said, I would distract myself. Alcohol would often make it worse. I'm learning to focus on me a little: do things I love, be around people I know give a sh*t about me, listen to music till I fall asleep, write a song about the situation...whatever gets me out of the "why me" phase. I'm still working on it but it gets a touch easier as I get older. Being single the last 2 1/2 yrs helps as well haha!

Yoga and lots of aromatherapy. Rose & lavender oil work good.
