Sorry but you probably won’t ever forget her and it is likely to hurt a lot for a time, but it WILL get better and hurt less and less as time passes.
Maybe at the time you were with this other girl you just weren’t ready to move on there will be a time that you are and you won’t think about or try to fall in love, it will just happen (no one can fall truly in love by trying).
Maybe try a little to move on by spending time with friends, helping taking your thoughts elsewhere, but don’t beat yourself up if your thoughts drift back.
Soon maybe you’ll be able to smile instead when you remember her and if all else fails maybe just be glad you had her in your life if only for that period. - written 2 months, 2 weeks ago
You’re welcome!! Just remember you’re not alone, or don’t have to be alone. There are people who understand, want too or will try to understand (as well as some professionals of course!) including people who’ve been where you are or who are where you are.
Sometimes, although I know it can be hard, it may be about thinking about things differently and trying different things to help you get by, manage and gradually move on. Wishing you the very best.

Do you think you could share with them some of the things the professionals have said and ask their opinions, this could give them a starting point and give them a little insight into the kind of place your in or the kind of support you need (if like you said they help some). Maybe they may feel more confident in helping you then?
P.S. “Freshening your life up” could cost less if you think that may help too e.g. going for a walk in the park, to a library to meet different people, going swimming? to help you relax or escape a little? - written 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Maybe they don’t know what to say and are lost for words themselves, sometimes friends don’t have all the answers but this could scare them, maybe if they understood sometimes a friend is as much about being there and caring they could help more. Do you think you could tell them what would help you (maybe only you know that?) or maybe someone else could help more if you are going through so much? Someone who’s a professional or who has been there, we’re here to help too. - written 2 months, 3 weeks ago
