How to get over a break up...after 5years

I'm so sorry. When I went through a bad breakup I made sure I spent plenty of time with friends and family. I also played with my post pets. They made me feel better. Because I was happy when I was with them. Don't let yourself be alone very much. Eventually you'll learn how to be happy again. Stay strong love.

Break ups are hard enough. Mine in particular. I thought I had found Him. The one you think has been waiting just for you. He was my best friend, a good father figure for my youngest and a good friend for my older kids. He left to pay his tickets so he could get his driver's license back. But once he went back home, he spent most of the money. After being there for several months he broke up with me. He said he left for him. I feel like I did something wrong. I have tried so hard to forget him. I forgave him a long time ago. How do I move on when I have him stuck in my heart? I don't know what to do. I have talked to him. And he apologizes. He says he misses us. Instead of trying to reconcile I have been keeping away from him. I have to forget him in order for me to move on. It's just so hard. I finally stopped crying. So I guess I'll be ok. But every once in a while I'll have a moment.

Hi.. Its not easy to overcome breakup after 5 years.. it takes time to deal with it. I admire that you are trying for it and trust me this phase will pass soon.Its good that you are spending time with your friends and family.. that is helpful.

You need to try this to overcome.

*Let out all you feelings.. if you feel like crying.. cry.. if you are feeling anger.. let out that anger in healthy way.. like screaming. if you feel sad..share it with someone your close friend or any listener here on 7cupsor..write down your feelings.

* Love yourself. take good care of yourself. eat your favorite, sleep well, pamper yourself. buy new cloths if u like.

* Get involve in something.. like if you are studying, working.. involve yourself in that. Or you can get involve yourself in good hobby or sport.

* Relax as much possible whenever you feel lonely.. listen to good music which you like or with any other thing which you like.

*Do some exercises. or just go for walk in evening. It gives you nice feeling.

I hope this will help you to move on in life.

I'm going through the same thing. You are lucky you have family and friends to spend time with. I have no one. I just have work and school where I try to keep myself busy but I can't even concentrate on either of them. I feel lost and so alone.

I still can't get over my ex for 8 years. We never really breakup though... there's no words of parting, he's being distant and all of a sudden, we never contacted each other anymore.

Even when i'm close to someone, i keep on comparing them to my ex. And it's really dragging me down, because part of me still can't let him go. And i want to move on from this hell
