Love help: What are the things you did just to forget someone you love that hurt you sooo bad? - Help.com

Stay busy. Do things that require high levels of concentration(puzzles, difficult tasks, etc). The best thing is to find a friend or someone else who can keep you occupied. Leaves no room in your brain for them, and you’ll be exhausted at the end of the day and sleep better too.

Do the things you wanted to do but couldn’t because you were with them.

When you think of them, remember that they hurt you and DECIDE to move on.

Good luck :-)

First I deleted his phone number and myspace. Then I started walking to clear my mind. It was THE only thing I could do that would make me forget all about him.

Absolutely nothing. Lol.

Eat, sleep, and played pinball. Seriously, pinball can do all kinds of useful stuff for you when your feeling down.

Oh, that reminds me. I woudn’t call it love though. It was sort of a teenage infacuation. But he was a close friend too, and protective. He moved out of the state, and he would always tell me I wasn’t allowed to drink, do drugs, smoke, or dye my hair (he liked my natural hair color) So I did it all after he left. If only I’d listened to him. *sigh* We’re still friends now actually. He’s gay. Lol.

You could just go for a walk and look at stuff to take your mind off of things, even works when something else is bothering you.

thanks guys,tried all the things you suggested but I only get tired and still don’t forget him

well there is no magic way to forget him. no *poof and he’s gone* method. It just takes time. Sorry.

have you found a rebound yet? or have you tried being angry at him for the way he’s hurt you? Like Hybrid said, it definitely takes time. Eventually you just get sick of it..

An idea, but I don’t think people will like it. ( please take into account my other post)

Systematically write down a list of all the things they did for you, and then get someone else to do each of them.

That someone else could be you for many things.

Often when in love, one person can mean SOOO many things to you.

EG…
Someone to talk to about how you feel. - get a friend to talk to?
plan future activities with. - plan some activities with friends and yourself?
care about you - family?
look after - a pet or a friend in need?
sleep with - personal choice, no suggestions
give you social status - buy a car hahaha
etc

Every little area of your life that they are no longer in needs care and comfort.

If that don’t work, have a good long cry in the shower.

you should try getting mad.. and find a rebound without attachments… it’ll keep your mind occupied.

Its normal to be sad, depressed and feel hard done… This is all part of life. Theres many ways to cure the symptoms but to truly relieve yourself of these emotional burdens, you need to practice some introspection. Use this as an opportunity to discover yourself, explore your inner being, and realise all that you truly wish to achieve and persue… Remember, heart break is just like a speed bump on the long road of self discovery and enlightenment… Don’t be disheartened and allow your emotions to control your self development, instead focus on YOU. Take comfort and pride in your achievements and successes and dont dwell on this sadness… Meditation and self believe is the way forward, and I think maybe start looking at all the positives in your life rather than allowing the negativity and disappointment to have such a commanding effect… Good luck Meiko, and remember, you can do much much better!
