Why can't I move on from my past relationship? I feel my life has been on pause for the past months.. I've tried everything but I don't seem to get better.

There is no "getting past" things or people. We learn to accept that things are over and let reality settle in. Not unlike death, breaking up is a separation that changes a lot about our routine, our perspective on the future and other things that we stumble on daily. It will take months before we accept the changes and they cease to shock us. Be gentle with yourself and do not try to get past it, just carry it and in time you won't notice the absence as much. You will handle things organically, so try to practice patience. In the meantime, it is important to stay consistent. Try as much as you can to not re-open old wounds or habits that will undermine your process. Eat well, rest and distract yourself with friends and activities that bring you joy. I can understand that you have tried everything, but there is nothing else there. Keep trying, breahe easy, you need to recharge and sometimes cry. Take a moment and continue trying, before you know it, it won't be such a struggle and the trying will be more relaxed until it becomes normal and you won't have to try, you will just live normally and without having to think about it. You won't always be "on pause". This won't last forever.

It's normal to feel this way about a past relationship, but we have to find ways to preoccupy ourselves to help us move on, because it's for the best. You'll feel better once you finally start to move on. The heartache will start to disappear and you'll feel a lightness in your heart instead of the feeling of heaviness and hurt.

It's very hard to let go of people that we love. Especially with memories and things like that, it'll be difficult to see the light in a dark situation. Talking to a professional about coping mechanisms may be beneficial.

The feelings you have for the person that you were with are still present.. It's understandable to feel like your life has been on pause because the person that has been your everything for however long is gone and things aren't the same.

They say it takes on average 6 months to get over an ex-partner. Just give yourself time and take care of you. You'll meet someone better in no time :) Sometimes things happen for a reason. People leave our lives so someone better can entire. It's true :) Don't bottle up your emotions. Just cry it out if you need to and then walk on like the awesome person you are. Good luck!!! :D

Time heals. Love yourself and live a life. Hang out with your friends. Spend quality time with your family. Make new friends.

It sounds like you haven't gotten closure on your past relationship yet. There are a lot of different ways to find closure, depending on the situation itself, but it's often a good idea to start by talking things through with your ex.

The past cannot be erased, so one must not try to erase the past, but focus on the present and the future, which you have control of. It is normal to grieve, but if one wants to get anywhere, one must take the first step forward.

finding things to occupy the mind can help move forward... reinventing yourself too, finding a new task to tackle... in the end it will help you feel better about yourself and possibly forget the past...

Break ups and ending relationships is never easy. There are many reasons why you feel this way. One is that your still grieving. Your hurt, and it takes time to heal. Sometimes months, sometimes years. You need time, space from what's happened and to allow yourself to heal. Avoiding, repressing and such of emotions will slow or hinder the healing process, so it's super important to be present with your emotions, meaning feel your emotions with out trying to push them away. You need to feel it to heal it. It's something you just have to go through. It's a natural healing process. Pain is part of relationships ending. We must feel pain to heal pain. It's possible you may need more time, or maybe your trying to push away how you feel, that will only make things worse and slow the healing process.
