First, realize that it is over. Whether it be a breakup or a lost loved one, realize that they are no longer with you. Only then can you even begin to move on. Your heart aches because you love someone and you just lost them. Say your boyfriend/girlfriend breaks up with you. It's going to hurt, a lot. But you got to realize you had something great and now you don't. Understand that it is over and move on. Take small steps and eventually, with time, it wont hurt so much. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger they say. It may feel like it's killing you, but it's only making you stronger. With each of life disappointments comes a new lesson and more strength the next time it happens.

That is a very hard question. I suggest you do things you love, getting your mind off of them. I draw, write, talk to my friends and family, and go outside to get my mind off of my old partners. I know it's hard to distract yourself, but you will get over them eventually.

Try to find new hobbies that you will enjoy and take your mind off him/her. Spend more time with the people around you. Travel more.

Surround yourself with other things and people who make you happy. Read, paint, sing, Ect. Always put yourself before anyone else because you are the most important thing. Think about joining some kind of club to help you get your mind off of things. One of the best things you can do is reassure yourself that it was not your fault and it never will be. If you reassure yourself then you will feel better about your self esteem along with your personality. I think you are great and will do amazing things in your life time. I wish you all the best.

You heart hurts because you care, but you need to direct that care to yourself now! Start thinking, and taking care of you the way you would want to take care of them. I am sorry your heart is hurting, but with time...it'll be okay. Moving on from anything, rather it be love or friendship is a difficult task, but I believe you are strong and I also believe things happen for a reason. Maybe you needed to go through this to learn more about yourself. To fall in love with yourself, and to continue growing. Don't put so much effort into think of someone who didn't deserve your sparkle, love.

The best way to stop thinking of someone else is to focus on yourself. Take yourself in a date or find a hobby. Take this transition period to learn something new about yourself. Getting over a breakup is hard because we get so used to having that person in our lives and we now have to adjust to being without them, it can be challenging but it is possible. One thing you shouldn’t do is jump into a relationship with someone else, that’s not healthy and you won’t get over the person you’re missing any faster. Stay single til you’re ready to move on.

I'm going to use "him". Anyway, if you loved him and you two aren't together anymore it will hurt. And your heart will hurt. It's all about time. Time heals everything. It depends on how much you liked or loved him or spent time with him. If you want to stop thinking about him. You should do something you didn't do with him ever. Delete his pictures and everything related to him. Whenever you think of him Engage yourself with something else. Listen to pop music. Listen to some songs that does not remind you of him. Spend time with friends and family.

You have to occupy your mind, I've been there and it's really hard to make yourself stop thinking about someone. Try to be in a happy setting, spend time with friends. Or work on a hobby, even if it's something like coloring, when your mind is working at something else, it eases the pain for a while. When I went through a bad breakup a couple of years ago I spent 3 days alone laying in bed. That was NOT the way to heal. I started going to the gym and meeting friends for dinner or drinks, even spending time with my mom. After a while I realized that I shouldn't be suffering because he was the one who lost, I still have good memories of him but I don't miss him anymore. Usually a break up happens because it wasn't meant to be, someone better will come along and love you unconditionally.

Breakups can be tough to deal with. Having the person you shared everything with ripped away so easily hurts. There is no right way to just stop, to get them out of your head. They will be there for a while. However, continuing on a path such as this one, or even just talking to people who are here to listen is a huge step. Relationships take time to forge, and they take time to heal. It's like fixing a hole. You can't just throw some dirt over it, you have to slowly fill it up till there is no more space left.

Cause he hit the basin. He knew where he wanted to take me. Manipulator. I wanted to be manipulated. Just for that look in his eyes. The look of gratitude, appreciation, love, care and adoring. But he has that click in his head. When I am not perfect, better should not at all. Maybe better to say, when he is not perfect? But nothing ever will be and if he is not able to deal with that, he would't be able to handle other life issues. He is not worthy. It will hurt for a while, I know that. But I am worthy, though I doubt that, easily, I am. He is not, cause he doesn't believe that. My part now is to accept that and remember! Not to get to a manipulated position again. Because it is not me there. I am the one elsewhere. He doesn't want me there, but he is the one who puts me there. And I allow it. I CAN'T allow it anymore. I am worthy.
