Getting over a broken heart, how do you do it?

Question

I'm wondering how others get over the worst part of heartbreak. Personally I'm trying to keep myself super busy so I don't have time to think and sleeping a lot when I'm not super busy. Unfortunately there is downtime where I can't sleep and I can't keep myself super busy because there isn't anything else to do.. What do you do? If one more person tells me I need to move on and find someone new right away I'll scream, not an option.. I need time to grieve.

Answer 1

I know it wont help to say I Feel your pain however I am going through the same thing as I write and I do feel the pain at least my own. All I can say is keep doing what you are doing. An important thing is to get rid of all the things that remind you. Don't toss them just put them out of sight and out of mind for now as your healing. Try not to look back just keep on moving forward even if you take baby steps everyday just keep moving. And if you have friends they can help by keeping you company, letting you express yourself, and by getting you out and doing some enjoyable things. At your quiet times when your mind starts racing try reading books on how to put things in prospective on how to heal and deal with a broken heart or other books that can help you get past your difficult times. I don't believe in the saying "time heals all pain" but thank goodness it does heal most. I try to take my hard experience and turn them in to some kind of a positive as in how I learned from this and how next time this or that etc... I am thankful for I can take my own pain and turn it around so that I may try and help others. Easier said than done but anything is worth a try. I know it hurts but time does ease pain. Don't push yourself it takes time and how we all learn to deal with it is up to us. Remember baby steps every day is all you need for now! Best to you and Keep moving your doing great and your going to make it through.

I just went through all this.....I had my last boyfriend dump me by a vicious email!!!
I have a new boyfriend, and it really does help.
Sleeping may be a bad idea, b/c it takes a while to fall asleep, and u'll think about the dude.
Move onto the "next chapter" of your life. Find new music & clothes. Redecorate a little, and try to make some new friends. It helps SO much. You need to be around things that he was never involved in. Also have a lot of "ME" time.....bubble baths, face masks, maincures ect.....
Just know that you WILL get over this, and in a few months you won't even think twice about this situation.
Hope I helped! Have an awesome day!! ;-)

i am going through a breakup and heartache right now. it really sucks and i wish i could just skip this part of my life. waking up seems to be the hardest part of the day. Because when i wake up i remember that i got broken up with and it hurts so bad. I think keeping yourself busy is the best way to deal with it. Although i hate this answer myself.. the best solution is TIME

Answer 4

I'm going through heartbreak right now.

If I were you, I would start excercising for at least 30 min each and every day. More if you are still feeling sad.

Excercising gives you a healthy high and soon you will start to feel better about yourself and date again.

thats fine to grieve....its good, and its part of the healing process....i know right now this seems impossible to get over, but it wont go on forever...take some time to be sad, and eventaully you will get tired and being sad, and when you feel ready then move on.....but just allow yourself to go through the grieving process first....time is truelly the only thing that can heal a broken heart....i know this is so hard...good luck

Answer 6

move on.....go out have some fun... do something that will keep your mind off your broken heart...hang out with friends..go to the movies or to the mall or even to a club where u can think about something else besides that.........
