How do you recover from a break up?

Question

I just ended a short relationship with the guy I was dating. I wanted it to end but I still feel sad. How can I recover from this and start to feel that there is hope that I will find someone who actually cares? How can I start to feel better about myself?

Answer 1

Read a reaallllly good book, rent tons of nice movies, listen to good music and sleep! This will only make time fly..which is the best healer anyway!

Answer 3

You don't say why you ended the relationship so I'm going to assume that you just went your seperate ways because you didn't have the same interests anymore. Do you have other friends? If so go hand out with them. I don't know whether you are a girl or guy. So again I will assume you are a girl, hang out with other girls and they will probably have boys that hang out with them also. You aren't ready for another relationship yet but it won't take to long. Just find the right guy and you will be ready again. Just hang out with same sex people. It'll be okay. You'll get through this and this is a natural part of life. I hope this helps you.

The key to anything you do in life is to LIKE YOURSELF,,,,,,
Breaking up is hard no matter the reason, and what you are feeling is genuine, feel, work through it, and remind yourself of the reasons you broke up,,,,
you apparently weren't happy
you weren't content with him
he wasn't the one


Everyone has that special someone out there, and unfortunately we may have to weed through them like a messy garden until we find that beautiful flower, that will last forever,,,,

Know in your heart that you did the right thing, you made a decision, and you did it for a reason, and stick to it,,,,,
don't second guess yourself,

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF,,,TRUST YOURSELF,,,,AND ALL OF YOUR DECISIONS,,,KEEP YOUR HEAD UP HIGH,,,
Their is hope,,,

Let me ask you this????????

When you two were together, and it was just you and him,
DID IT FEEL LIKE YOU AND HIM WERE IN A CROWDED ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, AND THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE YOU COULD HEAR BREATHING WAS EACH OTHER,
DID THE SUN LIGHT UP THE SKY LIKE WHEN THE LORD DESCENDED TO EARTH THE FIRST TIME,
COULD HE TELL WHEN YOU HAD A BAD DAY, AND JUST DIDN'T SAY A WORD AND GIVE YOU A HUG???????
DID HE MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE FLOATING UP SO HIGH WHEN HE WOULD BRUSH YOUR ARM, OR HOLD YOUR HAND???????????
If no,,,,to alll of these,,,,,,then you did the right thing!!!!!

Their is someone out their for you, and when it is meant to happen it will, and you will know....don't give up hope, that is what dreams are made of,,,,what love is,,,,,what our souls are made for,,,,stay strong and don't rush love,,,it will happen,,,,and that person will care for you the way you deserve to be cared for......

I believe that you will find love,,,,and when you do ,,,,you won't need to ask that question again,,,,,,,,,,,


GOOD LUCK

Time, primarily.

When a break up occurs, it is a failure of something. Two people to get along, a failure to see incompatibilities sooner, failure to communicate, many things. We know this intuitively. That doesn't mean it's necessarily anyone's fault. It will be extremely easy for you to feel bad because you somehow blame yourself. I could sit here and tell you it's not your fault, but you wouldn't really believe me.

You need to spend a good deal of time being introspective as to the causes of the breakup. Not to find fault, but for the future.

As importantly, you have to explore the reasons you broke up. If you really had deep feelings for this person, it is easy to want to get back with them, even if the reasons you broke up are still valid. This one I know from personal experience.

It always feels like you won't find anyone else. This is a natural feeling. It has a couple of unpleasant side effects, it makes you depressed and it makes you feel a little desperate. Both tend to have a negative effect on finding someone new.

I just broke up with my bf and gf in January. I was and still am deeply in love with them, but it wasn't a healthy situation. My gf was co-dependent with our bf, and he had intimacy issues.

Unfortunately, I attend the same dojo as them. I run into them frequently. Because of this, I tried to be friends a little too soon after the breakup.

I made the mistake of starting to think I could patch things up a few months later, but the reasons I left were still just as valid. I ended up being seriously hurt by my ex-gf.

Breaking up isn't easy. It is a long process of emotionally extricating yourself from another. In my case, two others. Don't expect it to happen overnight.

Time does heal all wounds. It's a cliche, I know, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

Answer 7

Nothing clears your head like a new relationship. Fall off the horse, get back on the saddle.

Answer 8

first believe that it is for and from the choices that we make that we learn.

so, if you seek and get divine guidance, and choose with wisdom, what is in your path is all good....(even the bad).

sometimes what our carnal being percieves as painfull is the best thing for us in our future and

sometimes what happens to us is something that prevents something even far worse from happening to us.

If you are a true believer, then you will understand that in GODS plan..."ALL THINGS WORK FOR THE GOOD"
Yeah and amen

Answer 9

Time is the only answer. Each day that goes by will get a little easier.

Answer 10
