If there was an easy way out, I'd have taken it by now.

Other than that? Find somebody who can provide you with cuddles and let them at least make you feel better for a little while :frown:

Super glue might do the trick, but otherwise melted muscle :rolleyes:

Sorry, that's my poor sense of humour in play. I think the best way to forget someone is to find someone else? Are you in College or University?

Copious amounts of cookie-dough ice-cream, rom-coms, squirty cream (make sure you get your own...) and chocolate, along with a few female friends and some duvets.
And never be afraid to cry.
Hugs also work well :smile:

Meet an anointed person . . .

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to . . .
heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down.
And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded
out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?"
(Luke 4:18-22)

get over it,downplay everything you feel and tell yourself its just not important and he/she is just as unimportant to you. if you trick yourself your brain should do the rest hopefully

Unfortunately you just need to cry and cry buckets... snuggle up, keep busy!

Keeping busy worked best for me, I invited my friends round we all had a few drinks and danced and laughed about things. It took my mind off and made it so so much easier..

I hope you're feeling ok *huggles* it's a painful progress :frown:

but one morning soon you'll wake up and be have a total different attitude

I kept busy. If I was alone, I tended to be in tears, although when I was with other people I could keep up, on the outside at least, a smile.
Then I burst into tears at a friend's eighteenth party :biggrin:

Good suggestions so far. I'd say
Icecream
Chocolate
Comedy films
Friends
Dancing
Cleaning and tidying
Shopping

Basically concentrate on yourself. You need some you time xx

Firstly, cry as much as you need to. It is not a sign of weakness, and it's actually good for you as it releases toxins :biggrin:

Have a cup of tea!

Once you've cried your fill, you'll probably have icky sore eyes and blotchy skin...so get in some nice bath goodies, face masks etc and have a proper pampering session, with some mates if possible. A great thing to do is set up a paddling pool in the living room and get some wine/cocktails in!

Then, as others have said, keep busy. Think about the things that you used to do before the relationship - clubs, sports, going out etc. I'll bet that some of your interests have suffered because of the time you've put into your ex. Now's a great time to rediscover those interests, or even find some new ones, and who knows who you might meet along the way? :wink:

When my heart was broken for the first time, my first proper boyfriend dumped me after we'd been going out for 7 months- i thought everyhting was going along fine but out of the blue he said he felt as if we'd become more like friends, i felt like crap for the next few days. I found the best way to get over it was to wallow in self pity for a few days, then i spoke to my friends loads and they were so supportive it cheered me up no end.

I wish I knew.... I guess you got to try and take your mind off of it in every possible way, go out with your friends, watch tons of dvds and in time you'll feel better. Hope you feel better soon though because I know exactly how you feel and sometimes it feels like it's worse than physical pain :frown:

A distraction.

Failing that, everything people have said above.

Failing that, it could take a while. I suffered the pain of a broken heart for over a year because I had no distractions and kept seeing a girl every single day while she was with another guy.

Video games help too.. *rolls eyes*

Go and spend some money on an 'escort' - worked with me a few years ago.

viedo games, typical (this only applies if you're a guy!)

The other thing that helped me mend my broken heart was talking to my ex about 4 day after we split it. I was really scared but we friends said i'd feel better once i'd spoken to him. They were absolutely right and we manged to still be friends.
