I can't get over my ex after 5 years. What should I do?

Getting over an ex is always challenging and it brings up a lot of different feelings. I know that it made me feel like I wasn't worth much and that was the biggest thing for me to work on -- my self worth. Once I worked on my self worth and felt that I was worth something and I was good enough, and working on loving myself, the ex became nothing more than an afterthought.

The best way to get over someone is to give yourself the chance to meet new people, allow yourself to love again. Go out, talk to other people, have fun, and remember that you will eventually meet someone else who will make you forget all about him/her. You just gotta be patient till the right person steps in.

If you have them on social medias, or anything left from your relationship, you should get rid of it all. Block them, tell your friends to not talk about them, try meet new friends and do something different.

Keep an open mind about things. Everything happens for a reason wether they are good or bad. Hope this helps

If he is with someone else then you should accept the fact that you can't get over him but if he has no one try to talk to him again, you have certainly changed after 5 years, he may love you again

Seek professional help !! Its not typicall for a griving process to take that long :( When you break up with someone you have to grieve the loss of that important person but eventually you get over it :( If thats doesnt happen , you might need to see a psychologist :(

You should definitely get closure. Closure helps moving on! You can also change your lifestyle and routines

Learn to accept what happened in the both of you and try to get over it. Learn to accept and think positively. Look in the bright side!

Getting over an ex can be one of the toughest challenges, but I believe that everyone is able to overcome them eventually. You just need to stop surrounding yourself with memories of them, and start being around new people that make you look forward to starting your day! Everyone needs friends, and a friend can always fill the void that you think your ex left. Start accepting they're gone, and that you don't need them to be complete and happy. You're your own self, and you're complete with or without them. Much love!x

You should keep your distance from your ex and consider this a time to focus to YOU. Go out and find things that you find enjoyable. This will help you distract yourself from the breakup as well as allow yourself to find yourself as a person. Consider this an opportunity to grow as a person. Also, I know breakups can be tough so finding a support system such as, friends and family can be extremely beneficial when you need someone to talk to. Ultimately, find what makes you happy and surround yourself with supportive people and eventually you will be able to focus on yourself rather than focusing on your past relationship.
