I am too figuring how to get over somebody who hurt me. I advise the best thing to do is spend as much time with friends or family and do new things/activities to take your mind off of it (such as going on long walks, swimming, join the gym, etc..). It can be a really difficult time for anybody to go through as being hurt can cause trust issues with other people, but once you overcome it and start living a better life, you will feel so much better!

Get out and meet new people! It may be difficult for some, but letting new things and people into your life will help you stop dwelling on the bad.

You have to realize they aren't worth the time. Learn to let go. I know it's hard but you can't hold onto to everything in life it only brings you down.

Talk about it with someone. Bottling up like that can hurt you emotionally. So please keep yourself in a positive environment and make sure to talk to someone if you feel is necessary.

i learned a lot of helpful stuff in the managing emotions course. like... feelings are sometimes painful, but are time-limited. deciding to endure the pain at the moment is acceptance. and it turns out we need to commit to acceptance not once once or twice but over and over again. and lastly, we can view our emotions as waves. coming and going. try not to push or block the wave. just let it wash over you, let it pass.

Don't. Plan revenge, and plot how you'll make them feel. That is what I would say if i was irrational. I recommend ice cream and baths, but whatever you enjoy will usually work.

I try to keep busy. Even if it's reading some stupid article on a celebrity I don't care about, or meeting some friends who I haven't seen in months, I try to make me-time and keep my mind off of that person. As long as you don't have the chance to think about them, you won't. Eventually, the hope is that you won't need to think about them because they will at that point be irrelevant.

Know that the more you think about it, the more you're letting them win. They wanted you to feel bad, and the sooner you stop, the better it is for everyone.

There is no key to stop thinking about someone, the best thing is to let it take its time and process it. Think it through and just let it go, by time, you won´t think about this person anymore.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
