How do you get over heartbreak?

How can I distract myself? I do not want to be thinking about him, it only hurts me. We been together for 1 year and almost 8 months, therefore I am really attached to him.

Answer #1

Heartbreaks will hurt no matter what. It’s always important that you take some time aside to feel the loss, accept it, and work on moving on when you’re ready. For now, if you want to distract yourself, a really good way to do so is to keep busy doing things that you particularly enjoy. You can read, write, make crafts, bake, hang out with friends or have a girl night, call a friend, or anything else you like to do. If neither of those are options, you could always try to pick up some new hobbies or try new things that you’ve always wanted to. While you’re going through this, always remember to set some time aside for yourself to take care of yourself and do some pampering. Have a hot bath if you’re feeling low, maybe turn on some music, do your nails, or anything else. If you need to cry, let it out. It’s never good to bottle things up. In any case, I hope you feel better soon.

Answer #2

Time will heal all. I have been like that so many times and every time after I move on I hate myself for the wasted time and its like once you move on you see what you were once blinded by. Go out with some friends and meat new people. Think of it positively. There may be something better for you

Answer #3

I’ve had to go through this many times. Occupy yourself, just not with another guy right now. Do volunteer work, that’s always good for your self esteem and will keep you busy. Hospitals, nursing homes, literacy programs, mentoring… there’s a lot out there that needs to be done and needs willing hearts to help. Look at this in this manner: your ex-bf has left a hole in your life. You need to fill it with good things, good people. I followed this advice and, in about a week, found myself thinking of him less. Hard to believe that, two weeks later, I hardly think of him at all. But in the beginning, I thought I was going to die. I truly did. Obviously, you need to think more of yourself, more of your own emotional and physical well being, than he thought of yours. Once you’ve had enough time to process all of the information about your relationship and breakup, you’ll realize that he wasn’t the right one for you and you’ll be ready to move on.
