How to get over a break up
Scroll to see replies
the best thing that happened to me last i split up with someone (in a horrible break up because he was my best friend) was to be taken on a night out by one of my best-guy-friends (one i hadn't dated) and we had a no-ex night... which meant neither of us were alllowed to talk about our ex, oru break ups etc. and it did us both so much good (he'd just split up with someone too), we just had a few drinks, saw a film and laughed a lot
and the trying to stay friends straight away thing is always doomed to fail... i managed it for about a week before shouting at him in the middle of college for talking to another girl (eeek). then everytime we did become friends we ended up pullign and one of us wanting to get back together... and over a year since then we still have arguments about our break every now and then, even thought we're really close now and have both had relationships since...
oh and those people who say don't get in a relationship too soon... it can work fine. i met my bf a couple of weeks after i had finally finished things with the ex (for like the zillionth time) and we're still together 13 months on

Drink has many benefits
Sit and sob for a few days with lots of food and films. I also suggest having a heart to heart with someone about it and just let out all your feelings and talk about them because to keep it all bottled up inside you wont really help. Then go out and concentrate on having fun - meet up with friends, go on walks, see films, shop, get drunk and show yourself you can be strong on your own

mmm the talking thing really works... or if u dont have any1 just write a letter or email... dont even need to send it... it helps alot
definately advoidance for a while - I went to Wales, which worked great. Watch feel good films, read, basically what everyone has said. Don't worry about whining, everyone needs to sometimes and thats what friends are for - to listen to you go on and on endlessly. Also, I don't know what your parents are like but mine were really great, so you could try them. Its hard, I know, but time heals.

I don't really whine (or even talk) about my social life to my parents other than to give the vaguest description of what I will be doing as my social/love life probably would not be approved of by them.
i'm sorry to say it, but if you loved her that much then trying to be friends at teh moment is just not going to work.
you have to leave it for a while or you will just keep upsetting yourself. the fact that you're still carrying on in this way is why you can't accept that she's not your girlfriend anymore. you need to break the routine and do something different - even if it's just to get off the computer and read a really good book, watch a film, and distract yourself. don't talk to her and have some time to yourself. if she really is your friend she'll understand.

grin and bear it...thats the only cure ive ever found
Definantely. You've just got to ride it out and get on with getting on. I personally think that all exs should die when you break up. Make everything much easier...
Just go kick ass at something.

time will heal all wounds, but there will still be scares.

Although I have been saying that I am over breaking up with my girlfriend, I am still having a bit of difficulty coming to terms with the fact that I am not going out with my girlfriend anymore. Is there anything anyone can suggest that does not involve picking up some random girl and sleeping with her or going to a club?
Time, unfortunately, is the only healer.
