I really, seriously thought I was okay with a recent--within the past two days--breakup with my ex of six months. But then the night comes and, for whatever reason, I can't keep my emotions in check as well as I was doing earlier today. I don't want to cry anymore, regardless of how healthy it is. I can't stand crying alone, especially while thinking he doesn't even give a **** and is perfectly ******* okay. And it's too late to do anything with friends or go anywhere. Please, any suggestions on things I can do here at home to ease this pain before I get ready for bed would be appreciated. Thank you.

I know it sounds cliche but time heals all.
Heartbreak suck, i know, I've been there multiple times. You were in a relationship for six months, and to break up after that long would be devastating because after that amount of time any one would think that he/she is "the one". There is someont out there for everybody and you WILL find him and you wont even remember this breakup because it is so great.
so for now all you can do is sit back read everybody consoling you, and giving you sugestions on how to stop crying. but sometimes you just need a good cry and afterwards you'll feel better, if you hold it in it will just get worse and worse. So maybe watch a sad movie in bed and curl up with some ben and jerrys.
Hope u get over him soon!

It's true, something about the night time makes the emotions stronger! When I was going through a very difficult breakup, I would listen to Loveline every night, with Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla. (Well now Adam Carolla is gone, but anyway) It did miracles!!! It really really cheered me up. It's on from 10 pm to midnight Pacific time, and if it doesn't play on any radio station near you, you can listen to it online on www.kroq.com.
Anyway, that is what got me through the evenings for years and years. Otherwise, maybe rent some movies? Watch TV? Chat online? Read a book? I think the main thing is dealing with the loneliness that seems to get worse at night. Those things seem like they take away the loneliness somewhat. Anyways, I hope you feel better soon. I know break ups SUCK! But that pain DOES pass eventually. You WILL feel normal and happy again, probably sooner than you think.

I understand what you're going thru....I'm going thru it right now, but I was in a relationship for a year. The only thing you can do is to try to distract your mind, keep it distracted even while you are getting ready to climb into bed. I keep my tv on for background noise (and it helps me to drift off to sleep because I also suffer from insomnia). You will cry on 'n off for a little while, but as each day passes, you'll soon discover you aren't crying as much, then suddenly one day you'll find you haven't cried a tear all day and you will know that you are pass the hurt. I wish I could give you better advice, but this is all I am able to offer at this time. Good luck and keep your chin up!!!!

Eat some good chocolate ice cream like Rocky Road and take a nice hot bath. Sit in a sauna or a hot tub as an alternative.

have you thought about maybe doing some physical exercise? like lift weights or run or something? do 20 push ups or 50 crunches. you could actually use the pain you feel inside to push yourself and relieve stress at the same time. also at the same time your building a beautiful bod which builds confidence which will help you find someone else! sorry if my advice is no good, i just wanted to try to help you out; it sounds like your stuck in some mud :( i hope you heal soon

Run to the store, buy a pint of Ben & Jerry's, and pop in a DVD. Something with someone you can drool over, like Pirates of the Caribbean or something.

If you can get something funny to read.Watch "americas funniest videos"if you can.I laugh out loud when i watch that show and laughing always makes me feel better.Another thing is~~fall asleep in front of tv with it on one of those old sitcoms.You'll here laughter as you are falling asleep and you will have more pleasant dream.

ok, i know exactly how you feel
this guy i really liked just pretty much turned me down
i felt horrible
just know, you have friends. talking to mine helped a lot. venting your feelings is step one to recovery. you need to embrace your pain, understand it, and slowly let him go. this could take weeks or months. but time will heal all pain
good luck
you can email me if you want
