Time heals all wounds. If, this was a long term relationship it will take more time.You are not alone, if that gives you any comfort, I am going through the same thing. The best way, I have found in these times, is to keep busy in what you are doing - work ,study, concentrate on bettering yourself- exercise - do not dwell on would have - should have and just let go of the down thoughts and think positive that you are worthy of love.

- This was by far the best advice - it is so true. you can't pretend like you'll ever forget the person so why not learn from them and figure out what did they mean to you on your path called 'life' just as you meant something to them in their journey. it's painful and you start to ask yourself 'have i been wrong this whole time? i'm not as special as i thought i was' and that's ok - that's how i feel right now but reading this advice does help put a bandaid.
  
  thank you.

Hearts don't break. When you are in a relationship, especially if it is a LTR, your body produces chemicals that mimic opiates. These chemicals give you a feeling of comfort and happiness. When you breakup with someone your body stops producing those chemicals and you actually go through withdrawal. Just wait it out, it will fade away. In the meantime, stay busy. Find productive things to do.

- They are just facts. Love is chemistry, not just "feelings" we feel. I have been there, and I do have compassion. But having been there before I also know it doesnt matter how it is said, life will suck just the same till it stops sucking. :)

It takes time, especially if you had a long relationship and really loved that person.

Face it, you will never forget this person. you just have to try to continue your life, around their memory.

Many humans go through this everyday. its not new and it still hurts.

Finding a replacement is the order of the day. it will be hard, but it can happen.

Start looking. time now to hide all the old photos, cards, and memories of the past.

Just cry. It is the best remedy for a broken heart. Just cry your butt off. Trust me, it'll work. Then hang out with your friends, have some fun and forget about what made you break your heart. You'll get over it sometime.

Keeping the heart open despite the pain. Embracing the pain and loss as you would joy and love. Coming out of the heart protracts the healing process.

Time to come to terms with what has happened.

No contact with the person who "broke your heart" for a minimum of 6-12 months.

Abstention from all forms of sexual activity for a time will accelerate the healing process, as the sexual attraction / desire that was part of the old relationship is dissolved.

The best answer to give, would be that there isn't any easy or good cure for a broken heart. It takes time, sleep, and someone to talk to. I would suggest finding the person you trust the most, whoever it may be, and let everything out. All your fears, what you think went wrong, and ask them how to make it better. Since they will have known you personally, they should have the best answer for you. I would spend some time pampering yourself, and taking time to learn more about yourself from this experience. Treat yourself to things you enjoy doing, whether it be hanging out with friends, or even reading a book. It won't be easy but it must be done to patch your broken heart. hope this helps.

You'll just have to be unhappy for a while. Try to stay busy with friends and activities. In time, you won't feel quite so miserable. This is just a part of life. It's painful, but it's not forever. Time is your best ally.

let go...
most of the people i know find it hard to mend their heart becoz they cant seem to let go of the person.. stop telling yourself that you should forget the person and your memories.. coz trust me, you wouldnt! instead.. try to learn from it... see how it have made you stronger and wiser,... stop regretting... instead, be happy.. that though your heart got broken,,, at least.. for once... someone had made it whole and complete.... and.. just think... that if you were happy w/ the wrong one.. how much more when the right one come along?.... feel the pain... until it hurts no more... and maybe.. just maybe.. when the right one comes along.. youll realize that your heart didn't got broken at all!

Doing something for someone else. Focusing on others, not you. That will get you out of your self-involved rut and force you to think of something else and before you know it, you'll be cured and you will have helped others at the same time. Happy Friday! :)

I had my heart broken in the worst possible way, i was pregant and dumped only to find out he had been sleeping with my friend, laughing at me behind my back and telling everyone lies..which they all believed. All my friends walked out on me because of what a mess i was- they couldnt deal with it so they stayed away. I went through a pregnancy as well as nursing a broken heart...it was horrendus, my life changed in an instant and i became a virtual recluse, i never went out-no one ever came round...but eventually bit by bit i picked myself up, my body went into a kind of healing and when i had my son, things were tough but i knew i had to move on...its 3 years gone now and im totally over it, i still find it hard to trust men, ive only had one 4 month relationship in the past 3 years but that ended due to trust issues...i still dont see my ex and i dont see my friends either. Time does heal, no matter what situation you find yourself in...it will seem like hell...but it does get better.

After my divorce I moved to Vegas for awhile, worked in the casino and drank a lot of rum. It truly helped me through the most brutal part of the divorce and when I left Vegas 8 months later I was ready to take up a normal life again. Maybe that is extreme for some, but a little rum and listening to the Blues can actually help sometimes.

I don't know as I'm going through the worst broken heart of my life and it literally feels like my heart is physically hurting. I do know exercising and playing sports with my friends takes the focus off of the situation for a while but unfortunately you can't play sports all day.
I sure wish it would end and even the thought of being with another woman right now makes me feel weird. I thought that it would possibly help but all I want to do is have my old girlfriend back in my arms. It really hurts!!

sorry i didnt realise that you had lost someone. very sorry for your loss. i dont think you can ever get over losing someone i havent and it was 5 years ago. you just have to remember the good times and the special things you shared you never have to finish mourning for her keep her in your heart always but let other people in to. im not saying move on and meet someone else if you are anything like me you keep to your self if asked to go out their is always an excuse do you really think she would want you to do that. (only you can answer that) keep in touch:)

- Thanks Hottie Much apprieciated. I don't mind going out with friends per se. When it gets to a point though where they all have a cousin sister niece daughter etc that I just absolutely have to meet. It becomes annoying after awhile and I just avoid those people because they can't understand that I am not interested in a relationship right now

- Excellent advice. Just one tiny little problem. It works pretty well when you are trying to recover from a broken heart caused by a break up.Also whenthe relationship was a short one let's say a couple of years or less. But what about when you were both completely and totally inlove with each other, were engaged to be married and one of the two people was taken away in a very brutal and tragic manner. How do you ever recover from that kind of a broken heart. It's going on 3 years for me and I Still can't think of anything or anyone but her. Family is out of the question because they all live

They all think 3 years almost is long enough to mourn for her and that I need to get out there and find someone else to make me happy so I avoid them. I know they mean well but romance is the last thing on my mind right now. So tell me how does someone like me get over the kind of broken heart I am suffering from?

That saying time heals all wounds it's true to a certain degree.If you apply that to there is a lot of fish in the sea.There is someone else out there for every one if it didnt work out then you have to move on and find the one if you are ready to start dateing again.I wouldn't advise going to a bar or a night club that is if you want a real relationship without b.s. You will find the one any where but those singles hangouts. You have to be socal and get to talk with someone of intrest.Before I got married I was a flirt/friendly naturaly and I didn't relize it.You have to relize what you want and go for it.I was with someone for 5 years and they cheated on me I herd there cell phone dialed in the house and answered and herd.I am allways faithful 2 myself and others.They told me to move on with my life so I did and found my soulmate and have been Happly married for 5 years.I never think any thing about the other person they are in the past and I dont care.The person was in shock I found someone so fast. I know what I want and I love me

The pain is so bad that you triple clicked.

There is no instantaneous cure. Whats the word I've been saying?

If it's over then mourn the loss. Don't try to bury it.

People would say STAY BUSY!!!!! well I was mourning her through all the busy times so-----

all you can do is endure it.

I currently went through one of the toughest breakups. He was my first love and we were together 4 a year. When we started dating i wasnt even sure if i wanted to b with him but he convinced me to try and i fell hard. We had a crazy relationship but were so in love with each other. We broke up because we were fighting alot n he thought we should b friends n work back to how good our relationship was but i just couldnt seem to do it. So i ended up gettin drunk one night and kissed someone. Then the next day my ex called me n said he made a mistake and to come back to his apt. I did but then when i got there he saw a hickey on my neck and completely shut down. But he told me i could stay at his place but we would just b friend, but that same night we went out n he ended up kissing me. Then the very next day he wouldnt even look at me, i was so confused that i left and told him he needed to decide what he wanted. He said he wanted to b friends but i just couldnt hold my emotions back.I was acting desperate and crazy. I kept askin if he was still in love with me and he would never answer me. Finally one time when he was drinkin he said sorry but no. but he would never say it to my face. When we left from college for the summer i never got to see him cuz he lived 7hrs away from me. We stopped talking because he started being really mean to me n hurting my feelings. Then when we came back to college, he came over to my place for a party and didnt say a word to me. Naturally i got upset n started to cry n try to talk to him and he told me i was being ridiculous n needed to get over it. The we saw each other at another party because we have mutual friends he saw me and started yelling at me and saying very hurtful things. Then i found out he had hooked up with someone over the summer. I mean i should have known he wouldnt just stay in bubble n not do anything, it just came as a shock and hurt.I just do not understand him. Is he really over it like he says? Or is he hurting just as much? I feel like he is really bitter for me kissing someone the first night he broke up with me, however he says he isnt and is over it.
