Keep reminding yourself that you once loved that person..but it ended for a reason..so now you moved on. Some people enter your life for a season maybe years...decades? But there is a reason why that person was put into your life. So take that reason and thrive from it and keep your head up. Don't harbor negative feelings about relationship end..that will only hurt you. When seeing ex-mate try to be cordial if possible..that helps. Hopefully when heart heals can move on to a new love don't want to carry any baggage from the previous relationship. The sun will keep rising!

If we're talking about romance, it is difficult. It's a rare kind of love that requires no love in return, but that kind of love can be satisfying, too. Try, a little bit every day, to tell yourself that if you care for this person, then their happiness satisfies you (even if you are not a part of it). Don't be discouraged if this does not make your feel better all at once, but keep thinking about it. Focus less on your desire to have that person near, and more on the goodness of that person's existence just by themselves. It is a difficult thing to do, but I do believe in you - because you, too, are a wonderful thing all on your own

Learn a safe place excerise. Normally this is carried out with another person, but basically you imagine a safe place. Somewhere you feel safe and know, or a beach - somewhere you love. think of the sounds, smells, sights, write them down and go to this place in your head as often as possible in the early days. Finally give this place a codename. It could be Ocean, when your in a place where your faced with your ex, or with your ex and a new partner, breathe, say your codename in your head and it should bring you a feeling of release. (then move away from the situation, stay calm and later if needbe, vent and rant. but you must take control)

Hey there! I know how difficult it can be to see someone on a daily you are not quite over. To answer this question properly, it depends on a person to person basis. For some, it could be remembering why things would not have worked out anyway. Reminding yourself that maybe what you wanted may not have been for the best is a good place to start, especially if a person is around you often. For other situations, it could be reminding yourself why this person is important and special to you. There are some situations where you fear additional feelings may ruin an already beautiful relationship. In those cases, it would be important to work on why maintaining the relationship as is would be for the best.

Instead of thinking about trying to get over them, can you find a strategy that can help you enjoy your day more EVEN if you see them and have feelings? If you are actively trying to work to make your life better, and coping with the (sad, angry, jealous whatever) emotions you're feeling, over time you will eventually get over them - it will take time but you can do it. In my experience, I have had songs I listen to, treats I will look forward to for lunch, dress in my favorite outfits etc. And don't beat yourself up for not getting over them in a certain period of time

Yikes! This is tricky, especially in university or office romances. If you have to see them, there is no rule that says you have to be their best friend or talk to them all the time. If they do talk to you, just be polite and cordial. You can always use the Greystone technique (small talk mainly and present things) to avoid long chats with them. If you don't have to directly interact with them, so much the better. As for the getting over part, try to stay involved in other hobbies and with other people/friends. It will take time, but it is possible.

when my ex and I broke up, i still had to see him everyday at school. There isn’t a proper solution to get over someone you have to see, but there is some things you can do. If you can, change seats where you can’t see them, change groups when you’re assigned with them... all the little things you can do to minimize contact, you should do it. obviously the easiest way is to change location, and get away from this person you’re getting over. but if you can’t, even though it’s not gonna be easy, it will happen. you will eventually get over them.

If you see this person everyday maybe try walking a different route or avoiding them so you don't have to see them as much. Out of sight means out of mind. You can also try to keep your mind occupied. Instead of thinking about what they are up to and things in that nature. Think about what you're going to do later. Having a conversation with someone else rather than the person you're trying to get over might help you think about them less as well. But, you obviously have feelings for this person you're trying to get over it may actually help to talk to the person and tell them exactly how you feel. If they feel the same then you now have a new way of looking at them and if they don't at least that's one more reason why to move on. Good luck.

You must be able to build a psychological wall to protect yourself, especially if you must see that person everyday. You must desensitize yourself to the presence of that person in your life, maintain distance, remain polite and professional, but recognize triggers that cause you pain. It's possible to maintain distance even while being right in the room with someone and having to interact with them professionally. I'm not saying it's easy. It's not easy. But you can do this if you want to maintain your job or other reason for having the share the space with that person.

Just talk to them, have a conversation. Say we have to see each other every day let's be civil to get along and maybe one day we could be friends, it is a tricky subject it really depends on the relationship. Some times seeing someone who you have had a traumatic past with causes anxiety or panic attacks try the 5 senses method. 5 things you can see. Four things you can touch. Three things you can hear, Two things you can smell and one thing you can taste, it relaxes your nervous system easing anxiety and panic attacks. Deep breaths are extremely under rated and just because they didn't work last year doesn't mean they wont work today our body and habits are constantly changing. The 4-3-7 method. Breathe in for four hold for three out for seven.
