I don’t think there’s a quick fix… it just takes time. Try doing things you enjoy that don’t remind you of him. Focus on something specific in your life, like work or study so that your mind doesn’t wander and think about painful memories. I’m not sure it ever goes away, but it hurts less with time.

If it’s causing you pain, then it’s not love.

Don’t spend a lot of time alone, because all you’ll do is think about him. Hang out with friends, get another boyfriend, go out in public, whatever, but don’t isolate yourself.
Other than that, time. You’ll get over it eventually. Just ride it out.

trust me when i say i knew you’re pain at one time. i’ve gone through it twice with the same guy.

but it doesn’t last forever either and it can only go up from here.

i guess for me it was easier the second time around.
but what helped me the most was to just flood every ounce of my life with something to keep me busy. i worked a lot, went out with friends, picked up new interests and took my life one day at a time.

with time, i started feeling better about myself. i went with friends to parties and other little things. i’ve made a lot of new friends and done things that i’ve never done before.

you need to give yourself time to grieve, and mourn the loss. but don’t soak in it.

once you gain the acceptance that things happened how they were meant to, you feel amazing. i can only tell you this from experience.

i wish you the best hun.

time heals all wounds.

I wish you luck, I was in the same situation, just let it tear you apart and once you feel the pain ebbing away you can slowly put the pieces back together.

You’ll be fine, trust me.

Try to get rid of all of the things that remind you of him.
(Ex: Songs, Clothes, CDs, Pictures.)
Do things that make you have to focus on it.
(Ex: Puzzles, Exercise, Cooking, Cleaning.)
Over time, your feelings will heal slowly.

don’t get another boyfriend. i’ve been there and done that before too. a rebound only masks how you feel.

im sure what you want is to feel the happiness that you felt with your boyfriend again, and that wont happen if you rush right into another relationship. you’ll just be comparing everything about the new boyfriend to the old one. and it wont go anywhere.

Yeah. Moreso, probably, as it’s unlikely you’re actually in love right now. Remember, love never hurts. It’s either obsession or strong infatuation.

Whoever you are…I know how you feel. Im a 16 year old high school student and I just got over a girl that meant the world to me. I know it can really make you feel depressed. What I did was just wait. In time I got over her. It took me about two months (it might take more or less time for you), thankfully we never kissed, or dated, or anything like that so I wasn’t as atached to her as I would’ve been. But hang out with friends a lot and dont isolate yourself (like the others said) because that’ll just make things worse. And what everyone else said about “It’s not love if you feel pain” and stuff….that is true but the reason I felt pain when I was in love was because I didn’t know if she loved me back or not, and “does she love me back?” was the question that got me so depressed…but I do hope things work out for you.
