life help: I just feel heartbroken. - Help.com

I’ve been where your at. I’m still where your at (as far as the situation go’s, not emotionally)

Even if the love doesn’t fade, it will get easier. Don’t fixate too much on it right now, live for the present and build for the future.

Hmmm… the dos and donts of what aspect of the situation in specific?

To start you off… Don’t push too hard for this person to return your feelings. If its right, it will be fun and effortless.

Remember, the reason we have friendship and relationships in general is all for the sake of fun! If the fun isn’t there, one of you is doing something wrong.

Do- be honest with this person about your feelings
Do- the best you can to enjoy your time with this person while their still here.
Do- take the time to do the things you enjoy while you’re seeing this person
Do- allow this person to be a part of your personal life

Don’t- Fixate on the fact this person is leaving
Don’t- Expect anything from this person that you wouldn’t expect from anyone else
Don’t- Allow this person to rule your life, finding yourself spending your every waking moment thinking about this person.

Honestly though, I would just take it as it comes. Don’t try to restrict yourself too much. Be affectionate and be honest… but not at the sacrifice of your own happiness.

Glad to be of help. I warn you, its going to get painful.

I can reassure you however, the pain is worth it.

you’ve got some good advice here. i hope things get easier. :)
i might suggest that if this is causing so much pain, then maybe you should put your love life on hold for a little while. on the other hand, sometimes love can be painful - if you have no regrets, then i wouldn’t suggest you hold anything back.

I know what its like to feel heartbroken, its like you’re at the deepest point in life you could possibly reach, and i wouldnt want anyone else to experience it. So hopefully things have turned out well for you by now…or at least have become better.
