Everybody told me going out with friends helped but it didnt, I only wished I was having fun with HIM instead of THEM. So think back to things you enjoyed doing alone before you met. Try to pick up some hobbies you might have forgotten about when you two were together, or if you already have one, put a little more time into it. Leaves you less time to think about things and also helps to clear your mind. Being sad and lonely is the worst feeling in the world, I have been there! And who knows, after being together for 5 years, the love might still be there and you may end up back together. I wish you the best of luck!

I read through your questions. I think this is an ideal time for you to learn about practice good nutritian and exercise. You are going to school, so study lots. Meet new friends. Don't even think that you two are getting back together, then if doesn't happen you will not be disappointed and it happens (and you want him back after he has put it somewhere else) you will be plesantly surprised. Redecorate your place, buy new clothes that makes you feel good to wear. When you find yourself mooning over him, write your thoughts down and then forget him. Latter you when you read what you have wrote you will be amazed how you have grown during this period.

1) take a class
2) start a journal
3) get a new look
4) go to an art supply store, and try making art
5) go out with friends
6) re arrange your living space
7) get a pet (THIS ONE WORKS REALLY WELL)
8) Baby sit for a friend
9) get an part time job at a clothing store JUST for the discount, and quit after two months.
10) Become an ebay expert
11) Plan a trip somewhere sunny, just you and a book (or a girlfriend)

I know that it is hard because it happens to all of us when I broke up from a 6yr relationship the think that help me was getting busy give your self a lot of pampering it will feel good.
If you are not already in a fitness club join one and get going as often as possible and by bettering your self and focusing on your self you will not even have a thought of him after a while.
Who know maybe some nice hot hot guy will find you while you are finding yourself as well.

Well normally i would say have a fling with some1 else, buuuut if theres a chance your getting back together, you probably shouldn't do that! lol! um honestly buy a new pet or something interactive that will distract and entertain you, and also be there if you don't get back together with each other. This worked really well when i broke up with my bf, as i brought some adorable guinea pigs! (Jamie and Oliver, sad i know but i didn't know what else to call them). lol!
Good Luck!
Hope you get well and truly distracted!

You can't prevent yourself from feeling something normal. Its normal to feel sad and lonely after a break up, wallow a little, then just keep busy, hang out with your girlfriends, catch up with people you lost touch with, read a book you've always wanted to, go out and be single at a bar with your friends, just keep busy. If you're under the illusion you can prevent yourself from feeling badly though... not good, that's how drug and alcohol addictions begin.

I'm going through the same thing with my ex of 4years. I had to realize the real reason why I felt lonely is b/c I'd lost myself in her and I ultimately didn't know ME or who I was. I say in this period that you have really get to know yourself and love yourself for who you are. Trust me when you start focusing on NUMBER ONE then he and the relationship will become an afterthought.

Girlfriend hit me up on my email if you want to go out and kick it for awhile. Take advantage of this opportunity to have a little freedom-I'm sure that's what he's doing-duh-he's a man, isn't he?
Live a little, life is too short to boo-hoo over somebody. Sounds like you two will get back anyway eventually.

just dont think about it. get busy on something that makes you happy, or with work you may need to catch up on. let it out of your mind, and just let go. then you can start fresh, with a whole new look on it
and you might find that it wasnt as bad as you made it seem the first time. and uncover what it is that you want in life.

Hang out and party. You haven't been single for a long time. It's time to remember how fun being single could be. Call your girls up and do the dang thang. Seriously, find things that you find interesting. Change your daily norm. I promise you'll miss him but you'll be finding yourself all over again.
Have a lot fun.
