See other people, start small and work your way back. To a new much satisfying relationship . Most importantly do what makes you happy. After all you can do whatever your heart desires. Your single enjoy it.

Accept that you have feelings. Take time to feel them and then get back to the present situation, which does not include your ex. You don't need to do anything else but #keepgoing

Breaking up with someone you love is hard. Allow yourself to feel what you feel, don't suppress the emotions. Because that pain you feel is a part of healing. And you'll grow from this experience. When you're ready, do things that make you happy.. Spend time with friends and family, do that thing you always wanted to do, learn something new, anything! Love yourself, choose to love yourself more because you are worth it!

Delete all memories. Find someone who loves you even more, respect you, take cares of you, and pamper you. Buy a pet to spend time and forget sadness.

Reconnect with them and resolved any unresolved issues so you can have closure. Also focussing your thoughts on other people can help keep your mind off of them.

Try new things, don't keep doing the things you have been. Seek a professional therapist, research new ideas, and get new hobbies. Occupying and challenging your mind is a good way to keep away unhealthy thoughts.

Rethink what exactly is preventing you from stepping out of the relationship toy had. Instead of fixating on the person.. Think about what you miss or what you feel upset about.
