I can't get over my ex after a year. What should I do?

I understand how you feel. I had an experience similar to yours. The best thing you can do is to evaluate why everything ended, and to really understand and assimilate that this big change happened in your life. It is hard to let go people that were important to us, people that we truly loved, but more important is to love yourself and sometimes, things just do not work. Try to take care of yourself, spoil yourself, go to the gym or for walk/swim. Go out with your friends and take your life back. A life where you are the most important person, and you own personal well-being is what truly matters.

Everyone has different ways of looking at this... Firstly, please know, that it's okay if you are not over them. No matter how long you were with them, you had a connection, and you will think about it now and then. Until, one day, it will fade away like dust in the air... But, it's gradual. Try to recognize what these thoughts do to you, and bring for you. How do they make you feel? Without the stories attached to this feeling. Once you have recognized these feelings and sensation, you will learn to just stay with them. Even though, not everyone is of this opinion; I believe if you truly want to move on, and if your ex is open to a healthy communication... then, please go for it, because life is too short to hold on to any resentment. I haven't always had this chance... So, yes, this will depend on how both you and your ex feel about a healthy dialogue. Good luck... and please be kind and patient to yourself.

Do nothing. Give some time. Time is the best healer. the more you try in matters of heart, more complicated it gets. It'll take time. In the mean time enjoy life and get involved in activities for self enrichment and self growth.

certain things needs time. do not expect a quick remedy,Stay positive n keep trying. Meditate, develop new hobbies, spend time wid family, frnds n travel as much as u can, play sports. whenever d person's thought crosses ur mind, remember tht it is over, do not hate him/her or over think, dont b too harsh on urself. just go with the flow. everything will b fine. Pray to God everyday. Meditation does wonders.

break ups can be hard and sometimes not easy to get over it. but if you tried alot but cant patch things, Then it is time to move on. Just give it some time. They say time is the best healer. So Give time some time to do its magic.

get a pet untill you understand the meaning of love being that attached to someone in a short space of time is crazy

Take your time, it's like when you lost a relative, you gotta get your time to grief the "loss" there is no "right amount" of time, just time

Do not fixate on the thoughts about that particular person and all the memories created with him/her. Do not dwell in the past, try to learn from what happened, what could've worked and what didn't work and utilize that knowledge for your next love interest. If your ex misses you too, may be they'll reach out to you, until that happens, you wouldn't want someone who does not want you right?

Try getting in a new relationship with someone you care about , moving on is hard but I know you can do it !

Give yourself more time, not everyone is ready to move on within one year, sometimes you have to take yourself and get some confidence that you can live without the ex. Go out and have some fun or spend more time with some good friends.

Getting over an ex is SO hard and it may take a long time, there is no set time you should be over them. Just keep going and remain positive that one day you will, think about the reasons why you aren't over him, for example if it's just because you miss them that's not to say you're not doing good without them. Once you meet the right person that will all change.

Focus on activities that you will like and enjoy. When focusing your energy on objects or things. You will diminish how much you think of others. same goes down to your ex. If you find it a struggle to stop thinking about him at home. maybe play some music you enjoy or start doing crosswords or art work. Find something at home you will enjoy aswell.

Try involving yourself locally, take your mind off of the situation. Hang out with your friends, try some light exercise like yoga, go to your local shelter to walk a dog, and start up a new hobby, Biggest advice, unfollow your ex from all your social media platforms. Or better yet, go offline for a while. Out of site out of mind. Hope this helps!

You can't really DO anything. You just have to give it more time. It's obvious you really cared about him, and that doesn't just automatically go away.

I think that if you are still thinking about them this much, and you know they are happy, let them be happy. you can move one, its hard but it is okay in the end. xoxo

You need some mental exercise. You are unable to get over with it means that you are struck with your one year old past. Life wont stop, the time you lost will never come back. All you are doing is making things worse. there are so many more people in your life who are more valuable than him/her and so keeping their though in mind, move on..:)

In my personal experience, I seemed to have some difficulty after holidays, significant dates between myself and my previous partner, times when I was just sitting around doing nothing or if I was some place where we had been. I found new hobbies, found new places to go, went back to school, started eating healthy and going to the gym, made new friends and limited my time to where I would be "tempted" to think of that person. I blocked them on social media and deleted photos of us together. I also deleted their name from my phone book on my phone and deleted any joint accounts and changed or erased any passwords or anything that had their name on it or associated with them. It helped me immensely and one day I just realized that I hadn't even thought of them and I couldn't even remember how long it had been since I DID think of them. It made me laugh and I just went about my day. Those were the things that worked for me. Best of luck. I know it's hard.

Try to get some closure! You can write your ex a letter and not send it, see them one last time etc!

focus on yourself, your career, make new friends, get socialize, and get busy with positive activities, then you will forget to think about him, and as you improve yourself, someone new who is better than him will come towards you :)

The best thing to do is to try to talk it out with your ex if possible. Maybe just even become friends for awhile.

Everyone gets over things differently. It might take someone a month just like it might take someone years. Distract yourself with different activities like going out with your friends, writing, dancing, the gym. Soon enough you'll find yourself completely over him!

talk to him about it. Maybe he feels the same way. And if not then try to move on I guess......,...,,

You should try to start imagining your life without him/her. Instead of seeing everything as an empty space he/she left behind, see it as an oppurtunity to fill your life with something new and exciting. Love yourself, take care of yourself and maybe meet new people. Every ending is a new beginng :)

Block them on every social Media account. After that if your friends with them on facebook unfollow them, if you think you have to unfriend them even. Go out and do something new, don't be like a tree and stay still move around and do whatever you can to get your mind of off him/her.

Maybe a person doesn't feel they have any closure to the relationship. So, if it's possible, have a talk with the ex-boyfriend. Also, talk about it with someone. Journalling may also help.

I had the same problem.... Just try and be friends with them if it don't work out then it wasn't meant to be

What helped me to get over my ex was removing them from my life completely. I deleted them from social media, stop texting them, and stopped talking to them. I really tried to focus on the possibility of feeling something for someone else, because ultimately what helped me the most was having feelings for someone else.

Go out and meet new people, try to do things that you love and that will make you happy, with some time you'll get over him/her.

you should ask yourself why you have not gotten over your ex yet. but more importantly, give yourself a chance to love yourself and do what makes you feel good.

I know that friendships are different from relationships but this might help you out. I had been friends with this girl for a few months, know it's not that long but we fell in love as friends, we were so close it was ridiculous, we talked for hours every day and we only stopped talking because our schedules got in the way. Things happened and out friendship ended as fast as it started, I spent the next 6 months longing to have her friendship back and I convinced myself that I wouldn't ever feel that close to another human being again. Then she texted me, I'm not sure why, but it started a conversation, we concluded that neither of us were mad at the other and we just talked about life and how things were going for about an hour before I had to go to work. We clicked just like we always had, and I smiled and laughed out loud, just like the old times when we were close, it was like nothing ever happened between us. But I didn't want to talk to her again, I was scared that it would be less perfect or that things would turn out like they did before, so I didn't text her, and she didn't text me. We haven't spoken since that one conversation but I've realised it was the one thing I needed to move on. I can't say talking to you're person will help you, but it'll change something, maybe just give you a new perspective, I don't know, but I hope you got something from that story and good luck!
