Hide everything that reminds you of the person, even things online. Distract yourself with hobbies and spend time with friends/family. Try to avoid people that only want to gossip about your breakup. Personally; I always watch '500 days of Summer' when I feel the relationship blues...

I normally try to listen to music, draw, sing, play computer games, and write. It usually helps, and if it is real bad i try to keep my distance from people i eventually turn out ok because i know i'll always be ok, and there will always be more people i can be with.

Coping with a break up can be hard. I remember when I held it in, it was harder to deal with so having someone to talk to sure helps alot. Distracting your self is another good thing to do in order to not keep your mind on them so much. Weird enoughx if you start thinking about someone or something and them try to distract your self at tat moment, it will only make you think about him more and it may make you irritated or upset.

Always remember that there is a reason for the breakup in the 1st place, so always remember that you gave your best shot but because of that reason u did what is the best for the both of you all. Let go and move forward by setting goals for yourself that you can achieve.

I have found that the best way to cope with a breakup is to focus your energy on self improvement. A breakup will usually leave you with a lot more free time, and you can use the free time to take on new challenges for yourself. I would push myself to take on something I would never think of doing before, like signing up for a 5K or learning a new instrument. It was really difficult for me, but then again, so was the breakup.

1. Make sure you have put in place as much support as you can, for example, let your friends and family know that you might be feeling lonely more often than usual in the coming weeks and that you might be asking for more support than usual during that time. Ask them how they would comfortable and happy supporting you - by just listening online, listening face to face, offering a massage, hanging out watching television - find out how they feel happy to contribute. 2. focus as much as you possibly can on the positive aspects of the relationship: the good times you shared, what you now know about yourself, that you are now closer to finding a fulfilling relationship as you are more clear about what you want. 3. nurture your relationship with your Self/higher Self/Creator/Great Spirit/ whatever name you choose by being in Nature, in Church, at choir or wherever you feel It most. Remember that the love you felt coming from your partner was part of the big Love that is in Everything.

Keep yourself occupied as much as possible. It doesn't matter what you are doing, just try to think as less as you can. Read a book, or some articles, watch a movie, go out with friends. Anything that involves occupying your brain. Trust me it helps. I am going through a break up right now, and occupying myself is saving my life.

Firstly. Talk positively to yourself. Please, do not bring yourself down, no matter what. You have to continue telling yourself that you are worthy of love, respect, and acknowledgement. You will be tempted to undermine yourself, over, and over again. But, don't give in, please. Instead, remind yourself, over and over again, that you're amazing, and that you're worth. The person you were with before, and how that relationship worked out, does NOT define you. Secondly. Ensure that there is closure between you, and your ex. That leaves few gaps, and questions to be unanswered, allowing you to be able to get over this troublesome period sooner, and in an easier manner.

Sharing helps others and its therapeutic for you.
