Time will heal. You should try to do things to keep your mind off him/her and keep your mind active. I know break ups can be really hard but you will be able to overcome what you are feeling. I’m not saying it will be easy or done by next week but I know you can do it. Give yourself time to grieve and think about how your feeling. Another way is to get back out there try dating someone new but don’t force it.

It's really hard sometimes to stop thinking about an ex. In my experience the best thing to do is to keep really busy with other things - throw yourself into doing your hobbies or going out with friends to keep your mind occupied so that you don't have time to think about your ex. Gradually you will find it gets easier.

Take your time. You may feel like you need to move on, to quickly forget about her/him as quickly as possible, or you may feel despair and disappointed for thinking about them when you try not to, but we humans are emotional and relational creatures! That means, once you have really invested your feelings into someone, it's natural to feel attached emotionally to them, and the process of ending such attachment may be a slow and long journey. And it's okay. So maybe the first thing you can do is to recognise that this takes time. Don't beat yourself up when there seems to be a lack of progress. At the same time, look for some healthy activities that you can put your energy and emotion into - for example some hobbies that you have not been doing for some time, or even take up new ones, sign up for a class locally or online, join a community service programme, anything that worth your time and effort. You can also spend more time with your family or your friends, or other non-exclusive relationship, to be a part of a community. Remember, the journey may be long and hard, but there are many people who are willing to journey along with you.

Finding an acticity that gives you a sense of purpose or allows for self improvement. Set yourself a goal, for example: telling yourself that you will read a certain classic novel or learn about a particular subject so you are more knowledgeable / skilled. This should boost your self-efficacy, self-esteem and hopefully stop you thinking about your ex!

Many ways! Best way is to get out and hang with some friends. Maybe hit the gym, do things for yourself and make yourself feel good. Keep yourself busy and occupied by doing anything that interests you.

it's very hard. To forget about someone you loved or someone you spent a good part of your life with. If its a first relationship its probably the hardest because you will compare them to everyone, if its true love, you will compare them to everyone, if its infatuation or even puppy love you will compare them to everyone. No matter what stage you are at in your life, time and keeping busy is the only thing that can help. Doing things with friends, picking up a hobby, working, working on yourself. In time it will get better but time is our worst enemy as it feels forever, but you will see in the end, time is what you needed

Find something that will distract your mind. Don’t sit at home and have your mind go into overdrive. Go and see friends, start exercising, do something that calms your mind. Meditation and yoga are also really good. However there’s no easy way to get over your ex, unfortunately you have to go through the pain and hope that one day you wake up and he isn’t the first person you think about.

I would seek therapy or counselling. And then time is the only thing that can help besides that. Time is the main healer when it comes to broken hearts
