What's the best way to get over traumatic breakups?

The best way to get over a traumatic breakup in my opinion is to always keep family and friends close. They will help you through it so much. Also try to distract yourself from always thinking about it, do something fun or just read if you don't feel like going out anywhere. I think also the more you talk about the breakup the better you will be able to go through it.

Opinion: there's no best way, but if it were ever to happen to me. I would use time to recollect myself and be around people who will unconditionally bring out my strengths. Everyone is different.

I have had my share of traumatic breakups. Moving on from a breakup like that can be very challenging, but what I kept having to tell myself is that there is someone out there for me, and had "Mr. So and So" and I stayed together I wouldn't be able to meet the man of my dreams. It's so easy to look at a breakup and look at the "what ifs" or the "remember whens"-yes, you're going to miss certain things about that person but you need to move on. If you never completely move on from that person, then you're never going to be able to truly love the person you're meant to be with for the rest of your life. Now, one lesson I have learned is that you need to look back on that relationship and pick out the things it taught you. As humans we should always be looking for ways to better ourselves, I believe that everyone that comes into our lives (good or bad) comes for a reason. Every person that comes and goes in our lives can teach us something. Don't miss out on those life lessons, they don't always come around a 2nd time!

I recommend finding stuff that you love. To not push out friends. To try to keep a regular routine, so there is a better chance at getting better and not become overly depressed.

Simple really. First grieve for it and the good that was there. Then stop. Focus on and realize and think about WHY you really are not together anymore. Usually the reasons why NOT are pretty good ones. Plus your broke up. You need to accept it as well.

Shift the focus back to you; take care of yourself and put the pieces of your life back together. Reconnect with your family and friends when the time is right; always make sure you take time to heal.

The best way to "get over" a traumatic breakup is to basically accept what has happened and the reasons following that.

Surround yourself with positivity, cry it out, and give yourself time. It may take months, don't lose yourself and don't change yourself to impress others.
