Put yourself in situations where you feel happy. Help yourself to forget about him/her even if just for a little while. It'll prove to yourself that you're okay with him/her. Do activities that make you happy or hang out with people that you like to be with.

Take a look what you have learned from the relationship. Don't dwell on how you could have done things diffrent.

I would say to try to distract yourself and do what ever makes you the happiest. Make yourself happy and surround yourself with positive thoughts and people and always remember that it gets better.

You know it can be hard, but just remember that you now are one less break up from finding your one and only!

Breakups are tough. We've all been through them, right? I know I have. It is okay to grieve and miss, but sometimes you need to step back and look at the reason you broke up. There is something better out there for you. There is someone who won't break your heart and will love you. Sometimes the best thing we can do is surround ourselves with people we love. Go out with friends, go see family, or even just go do something you enjoy.

You can distract yourself with other hobbies and activities that make you happy. If you don't have any, then go out and find things that will take your mind off of it!

Focus on taking care of yourself. Either exorcise go out and meet new people. The most important thing is to not get hung up on the other person as though they are the only thing.

Dealing with depression following a breakup is never easy. Typically, I find that distancing myself from the person always helps. If a certain song reminds me of them- I don't listen to it. Forgetting the person ever existed usually helps me the most.

Try to have fun or dont think about the other person for a bit. Maybe try singing or dancing or anything you like to help.

Take time to refocus on yourself. Realize that the break-up ended for a reason and that the both of you can still live perfectly healthy, happy lives despite the fact that the relationship did not work out. Pick up a new hobby or dig deeper into an old one that brings you pleasure. Reconnect with friends and look for the positive in the situation. If you felt constrained in the relationship, then you now have the freedom to live life on your own terms. Make yourself happy and treat each day going forward as a new chance to grow and develop yourself into your best version of yourself.
