What is the best way to heal a broken heart?

Answer 1

Stop obsessing, writing about, talking about the guy/girl. Stop listening to music that reminds you of him. Stop watching movies that remind you of love.

Work on yourself, your body, your career...your life. Get involved in other activities that make you meet new people.

It's okay to mourn for a week or so. It's normal. It's okay to hate him too. Spend a night or two hating him and what happened...but don't let it consume you. Time will heal things...it just takes a LONG time. The only thing you can do is to work on you, which will lead to new opportunities in life.

Oh my sorry to hear that. I know how you feel - my heart has been broken more often than I care to admit.

After the 2nd time I created a way to heal. Here's what worked for me:

(1) Do not give yourself a set time. Sometimes it takes weeks, sometimes many months. You will always look back at this relationship if you really loved the person, with time the pain grows less.

(2) Spend a while reviewing the relationship to see what went wrong. Please be honest about your contribution because this will allow you to grow, as well as help with the next relationship

(3) Take a realistic assessment of the guy's behavior towards you (good and bad). Decide what you agree with and what you did not like about him

(4) Accept the fact that the relationship is over - this may be very very hard to do, so you will have to tell yourself it's over many many times before you finally believe it (this is how the human mind works). Eventually you will accept it.

(5) The above 4 items will give you a feeling of control over the situation. The last thing to do is say: F*ck him, he's idiot, if he did not know I was the best he'll ever get. Serves him right for losing me!!!

Then go out and have fun as you hunt for the next man who deserves a fine person like you.

Believe me, you WILL find another. Men are always waiting to get to know you!!!

I saw an advertisement once, for a tailor or something, that read "we can mend anything but a broken heart"- I ALMOST
agree with that (just trying to cheer you up too), but not quite.
It's probably the most difficult thing in the universe, next to your soul, to fix.

But you have a head start: First, you are "mensch" (a real person), enough to admit that it is. Secondly, you must have
had a good one to be able to feel pain and have it broken.

Said by Bulwer:

"Of all the human agonies, that which is most poignant and harrowing- that, which for a time, annihilates all
reason and leaves our whole organization one lacerated, mangled, heart..is the conviction that we have been deceived
where we have placed all the trust of love"....

Who was it that said "This too shall pass"?,

so, while it's very tough, remember that first and foremost.
Find perhaps another wounded heart like yours, and who knows?
Be kind to yourself- you're human, you didn't do this to yourself.
Know others have gone through this, and although a little scarred (and scared) (pun intended)- have survived.
That your heart will grow even bigger in time as a result of this experience, and best of all,
just like Candid Camera,

"SMILE",
there's someone, someplace, sometime, just waiting for YOU!


(and I hope nobody answered you with "get a transplant, etc")

Answer 5

Give the broken heart TIME to heal! That's the only way. If you jump into something else right away, you heart has a way of haunting you later.

Answer 6

Wow. I wish I had a better answer besides time, but unfortunately that IS what it takes. I'm going through the same thing. It seems just like when you feel you are getting better, it all comes rushing back. The thing that has worked for me is staying busy,busy,busy. I have re-organized my whole house, painted walls, started working out (I've lost 40 lbs. so far) and I feel great. I've made new friends and lost old ones who weren't there for me. Just stay busy. And if you want to cry, by all means cry. Cry until you can't cry any more, because you are mourning a big loss. But know that one day you'll notice that your heart doesn't hurt as much as it used to. I wish you nothing but the best because I'm going through the same thing. Good luck sweetie.

Answer 7

The old saying, "time heals all wounds," is a indicator. Try doing nice things for strangers, volunteering or just showing up at a retirement/nursing home, and chatting to whomever you meet. It will make you feel great. Sorry to hear about your let down.

Answer 8

Time is the best way to heal

Answer 9

Occupy your mind with something else! Go out, read a book, watch a movie, draw, meditate, or try and meet someone new. Don't just sit and think about the past. Look forward to a better future. Good luck.
