It is so difficult to get over some you care about. One minute they are in you life the next they are permanently gone. The best that I found to get over a boyfriend was to acknowledge the loss; acknowledge the pain; busy yourself with great friends and healthy activities and also take some time to take care of yourself.

You have to think with a positive mind. sometimes in order to get over someone you have to just let go...I personally am a very attached person and I find it hard to let people go but sometimes you just have to give up and move on...try take your mind off things by going out with friends or doing something you enjoy like a sport or a hobby

Take it one step at a time. A break up is not an easy thing to get through. But always remember why you break up with your ex in the 1st place and accept it. Then try to move on knowing that you can do better.

Don't contact him for a while. That means absolutely no facebook messenging, skyping, texting or stalking. Don't look through your old photos or e-mails -- put them away. If you are still grieving and are feeling a bit anti-social, staying at home is fine. Read a book, watch some TV shows, get yourself an organised timetable for daily routines, Or you can go out and hang out with friends, and maybe even reach out them for help. Keep yourself busy. It's hard, but remember the hardest part is already over when you decide to take action. Don't reach out till him until you're emotionally stable enough and rational enough. You can do it!

Getting over someone you had an emotional connection with can be very hard. Wheather it was you or ur partner who ended the relationship it ultimately leaves you and him/her with many insecurities and questions about and to yourself such as "did i do the right thing?" "Does that mean im not enough?". In my opinion the first step in getting over someone is to clear out your head from all the doubts and seek peace in the ending of things in order to e able to look beyon and reach step number 2 which is to learn to love yourself. Which is important because u must reassure yourself that you are no less than enough and that you are capable of being on your own. Step number 3 is to distance yourself from any confusion or altercation concerning your ex, its best not to have them walking in and out of your life as they please which leads to step number 4, be confident that you will find someone for you, but in order for the right person to come along you must be the right person that can be found.

Ask yourself what it is you miss about them really. Depending on what it is see how you can compensate being single and doing these things for yourself. Breakups are always worst the first few weeks and maybe even months however eventually you find your way. Remember you were just as whole now as you were before they entered your life.

Talk to your friends and do something with them or your family. The most important thing is to get out of the house and get your mind free of all those thoughts.

Try to find a new hobby, make new friends, talk to old friends. Of course, grieving is necessary, but if it's interfering with your life you may want to consider talking to a therapist.

Try to not think about it, surround yourself with things that will make you forget. Hang out with friends or watch a video that could make your forget. I understand that it is hard to get over something like this. But try doing something that could help you forget or something that could make you feel happy.

You can't kill him for sure. Try to talk to him more often, or tell him you can't take it anymore. Or perhaps buy a cat or a dog and name him with your ex-boyfriends name .... will sort out a bit of problems that way
