I can't get over my ex. It's been 6 months and I've thought about her everyday, I even sent her a message saying I miss her not too long ago but she didn't reply. How do I get over her?

You don't, you just simply learn to move on. Go out with other people who interest you. If it seems like nobody interests you, that's completely normal, you're trying something new, it's hard to get used to new things, but you will. Try not to think about your past relationship and the mistakes you made, nothing about them will change it's in the past and time moves on, and so will you.

Unrequited love is as painful as just about anything. I find it is important to know that though the relationship has changed, often not in the way we wish, it has significance. To find what it meant to me has helped me process through different ends to relationships, it isn't just romantic ones that can be affected. I always thought about the way I changed during the course of the relationship for better and worse. Self improvement and focusing on it has always helped me to remain happy and move forward in life. It is a difficult road, heartbreak, but the path continues and focusing on the road ahead is my best way of surviving.

Focus on yourself. You are perfectly allowed to miss someone that's normal, but remember you need to be able to stand on your own two feet. Try and do things to build your self worth so you feel good enough in your own person. Things such as positive affirmations do work and breathing excessive can work and meditation, working out can really help too. Anything to make you feel happy. I'd also suggest spending more time with friends. Friends can be the best things they can cheer you up, listen and often know you better than anyone else so can know how to help. :) stay positive the struggle of getting over them isn't permanent.

you need to talk about it to your close friends or strangers let it all out, even if you want to cry it's fine or yell about it, you need to stop texting your ex this will only hurt your feeling more, it takes time to move on , it's fine you'rs handling your pain in a slow way, start a new hobby and get glow up try to do everything you wanted to do, have fun, enjoy you life it only happens one and you need to live it right, you took your time to be sad and it's fine now you need to live your best life

It's okay to feel this way! After a breakup I use that time to focus on myself and working on my self-care. Sometimes that means blocking your ex so that it's not as easy to contact them, delete pictures and previous texts can also help. Although it's been 6 months those feelings can still be there and it's more than okay to process it and feel upset/angry etc. Surrounding yourself with the people and the things that you enjoy and love in life can be really beneficial to remind yourself that you are loved and appreciated by others, you can also talk to them about it to express your feelings! Sometimes even writing a letter to the person without actually sending it can be a great way to get everything off of your chest. Remember life is full of amazing things and that although love can be a beautiful thing, there's much more to life. You can take this time to grow and heal but do it at your own pace - sending my thoughts!
