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.

Some people, like some relationships are harder to get over than others. Allowing yourself the time to process your feelings at the end of a relationship and being patient with yourself are crucial to moving beyond it. Jumping too soon into other relationships or believing you don't need the time and space to grieve what you once had may mean these feelings return to haunt you at some point in the future.

I have been there more than once... Most people would have. The reason is that you are holding on to an expected outcome, something that isn't happening at the moment. But if you let it go you feel like you are giving up, and if you chase after it, it hurts. The first thing that you need to do is become mindful, use 7 cups exercises to help with that. Secondly, accept that you are not with that person and that the expectancy is unhealthy as things in a lot of cases should just be. Things happen that we like and don't like on a daily basis, it is how we handle it or allow it to make us feel that matters. Lastly, focus on your commitments. You have goals in life, and your partner might have been one of them. Accept that it din't work out, but that something better is on its way and work towards those goals of being better. Hey, who knows, doing this might actually have your ex raise an eyebrow for another chance.

There has been no closure. If you can find closure of the relationship instead of the what if's you will find you are able to move past the relationship.

It might be that you simply haven't had enough time to move on from the relationship. Wanting to is the first step but it can still take a bit longer to convince the rest of yourself that it's okay to move out of it, especially if the relationship was particularly long or significant. Making sure to distract yourself with friends and family can be a good step forward.

Because you miss the person you were in a relationship with. You are experiencing heartbreak. This is normal to not be able to move on.

Because I'm the one who is stopping myself. If I don't want to help myself no one else would be able to help me.

Relationships can be difficult, there are so many things that go into them. People around us have a big impact on the lives we live. If you speak to someone every day, care about them and having them be very involved in your life, having that go can be extremely difficult. Making new routines and trying new things can help but it doesn't fix everything. Personally I feel with any change with people you're surrounded by but especially in regards to relationships, becoming closer to the people you trust can help. Feeling more at peace with yourself and taking time to calm yourself down and working on things to boost your happiness can really help. To do this leaning on friends for support can really help. :) I really hope things get better for you

Aw I understand this! It can be super hard to get past and old relationship. This may be because you were emotionally invested in the person! It is super normal to not move on right away! It can be hard to leave behind someone we love just like that. You aren't alone in this! It is a really common reaction, and hopefully will eventually fade!!
