My first love dumping my sorry a*s and slinking away to join the Coast Guard, never to return. I think I cried solid for a week. Even my ultra-conservative parents let me have a few stiff drinks to help me sleep at night, I was so worked up. I would have moved heaven and earth for him, and I just felt so hurt that he didn't feel the same anymore.
But, I just kept going on, day after day. It does get easier. You stop crying after a while. You start to laugh again. You fall in love again, and realise that maybe life was steering you in this direction, and that it wasn't so bad that you parted ways after all.
I found strength by getting away from the area completely and moving back to Scotland to complete my uni. I immersed myself in my work and found another guy, who I'm now married to and have a son with. When you think about it, the series of events that took me up to this point in my life would never have happened if him and I had not broken up. I am truly happy - I have a son whom I adore, a wonderful husband who would move heaven and earth for me :) and we are expecting another child together. What could be better? :D
You have to put a little trust in Providence when things go sour, trusting that whatever happened was probably for the best and just learn to think positive and move on. Took me a while to learn this at first, but you become more aware of how better off you are over time.

I got over this, First I give up my good job overseas for a crap one to move back because my girlfriend wants to return home to get married. Within a month she then gets pregnant behind my back with my best friend, they move back overseas immediately without telling me what happened, I find out because all my friends are suddenly going to their wedding and one of them spills the beans.
There is a saying what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, this would be the case for me. I thought This would kill me, it didn't and I am much stronger today. Strength - well you eventually have to realize you can't change the past and believe in yourself and that things work out for the best in the long run which they do.

there are so many! i was sexually abused my grandfather when i was 7. my grandmother used to abuse me verbally, she used to tell me that i was "worthless" and "good for nothing".My boyfriend betrayed me, i found out that not only was he seeing other girls behind my back, he was also telling ppl that i was desperately clinging to him(boy,did that hurt!). Well, i am in a way,not really over these things. But the one thing that keeps me going is that there is a reason why i was put on this earth, i am a special person (i keep telling myself that,maybe someday i will be convinced that its true).My mother is a great source of strength to me. U just need to believe that watever has happened will pass and some day u will be able to smile again.

The most hurtful thing that's ever happened to me has happened several times - i.e. total rejection by a man that I loved. I got over it by remembering that I have family and friends who love me dearly and by eating lots of chocolate. Also finding my loudest rock and roll and turning the volume up to 11.

My father turned and walked out and my mum and my brother and I, he didn't look back. I did't have the strength to get over it, it dictated the next few years of my life and my relationships with men. eventually, you realize the past is simply the past, water under the bridge, harbouring hate takes more effort than letting thngs go.

This is nothing compared to some of your answers, I caught my boyfriend a few years ago in bed with his male best friend!! I was a bit worried about my sexuality but i overcame that and found out i wasnt a bad lover quite a good one actually so it wasnt me.

Being dumped by someone I loved with a text message. It took loads of pain and a lot of time to get over it, also knowing that I had little choice but to carry on living.

Being dumped by a man I was very much in love with. I screamed a bit, cryed a lot and ultimately put it behind me as I had 2 young kids to think of. It wasn't fair that my unhappiness should affect them and that is what got me through a very difficult time..putting them first.
