How long does it take to get over someone?

Getting over someone has no set time expectancy. It's important to remember to be patient with yourself as you may receive all types of advice from well-meaning friends and family as to how long it took them or what not and this most likely won't be the same for you because each person is an individual. It can take a long time in short but the amount of time varies greatly between each individual and each day (especially at first when you're not ready to get over the person yet) you will be taking strides on your own that don't seem like much but they are. It's also ok if you're not over someone after a short or extended period of time and you're recognizing that and taking time for self-care. Because as I've mentioned sometimes things take much longer than we expect with no end in sight.

I don't think it's so much getting over that someone, but it's trying to get over all the memories you created, all the amazing times you shared, the ups, the downs, the laughs, the cries, the pain, the arguments, the love. Going past a place where you spent time together or smelling their perfume, that's what makes it even harder to move forwards. It takes time, some people take weeks, others takes months, others take years, some may never really get over that someone. It's difficult, it's painful, you'll feel okay one day thinking you're moving forwards and then you'll find yourself crying the next day. You need to give yourself time and be kind to yourself.

Moving on is a process, it takes time. Just be patient and no need to rush yourself. I know everyone wants to free themselves from the pain and heartaches. But love comes along with pain, love is not just about rainbows and butterflies. Take your time to heal. You can make yourself busy to lessen the time you remember him, explore things, engage and surround yourself with positive people. Learn something new, give yourself all the time, love and appreciation you needed. I swear, one day after all the efforts you did to heal will be worth it. You wont even notice you finally move on. Only time can heal the wounds.
