Since our break up, I'm trying my best to move on with my life but I can't seem to get him off my mind. I'm constantly thinking about him and this must end FAST. I tried not to open my facebook account because I'll end up looking at his profile and then I'll start to reminisce. I already put away all "our" stuff and rearranged my room. I've started reading books, working at our shop, going out with friends. Everyday I'm booked with different activities, but it's still not enough. So what else can I do to keep my self busy just so I would no longer think of him?? Help me please.

Moving on is really hard and being busy can really help but there is a moment that you need to take a rest and he is still the one that coming in your mind. I also do the same thing that you are doing when i'm moving on in my previous relationships but the thing or activity that help me most is I hang out with my friends, because my friends always love having a party and go shopping,i really enjoy that moment and i totally move on until in a party a met my next lover.

I would suggest to learn something new. something that interests you. the choices are endless. you can learn how to play a new instrument, how to speak a new language etc. this option is something that will be good for you. don't be in a rush to forget him. he is a part of you and getting over him will take time. sometimes there are things that you don't get over with, you just learn how to live with it... ;)

When my ex-boyfriend broke up with me one of my friends and I went on several day trips. We went to an area where I had never been before and I found it interesting to explore a new place with my friend. All the new things made it easier for me to focus on something else. We talked a lot and I was very happy that my friend was able to spend a lot time with me in that period of my life. When I was home I tried to keep myself busy by writing, drawing and painting. That also helped me, but the day trips with my friend helped me the most.

Yeah, it's rally hard to forget someone who have been close to you especially if you love him so much.Everything has an end so try to move on.Visit your friends especially those you haven't seen for a long time.I'm sure you have lots to talk about reminiscing the days you been with them and that will keep you busy.Go on vacation to places you haven't been through and enjoy.Time heals, so you must move on I know you can find someone much better than him.

Everyone must have gone through with what you are feeling these days. Probably now, it's hard to believe when say that "soon, you'll be ok, it will just fade." However, over time, continuing yourself to be busy could really help you. Sometimes, you really have to cry a lot until there's no more tears left. Let all you pain get out of your system. One thing more, I think the best thing that you can do is find a friend to tell everything you are feeling. All you need is someone who will listen to you and encourage you to move on.

They say that the best way to conquer your pain is to face the things that reminds you of the past so you will become immuned to it. If you keep on staying away from it it will haunt you more. Cry until there's no more tears, you'll see that you'll be better the next morning. :)) feel the pain because sometimes feeling it makes you realize that you are alive. And practice to control it :))

All I can advise is for you to read technical books or reading about intelligent persons that ever lived. Try to ask questions not related to romance such as, why monkeys do not eat apples or why cheetahs do not crawl but run, blah blah.

hello, You really love him right?Well, it is natural to think him specially if you are not yet moving on. You cannot delete him in your mind if you wanted to because he is part of it and everything you do is still reminding of him, that is love. maybe he really feels the same way as yours. But if you really want to move on and not to think about him go with your friends and keep yourself busy talking funny things with your friends or someone who you can talk to in that way you will forget him a little longer. but he will still bother you if you are not yet moving on. move on! good luck

hhmmm... not sure. whenever i have breakups i often think of it not in the way that it makes me cry or pissed of, or something like that. i just think of it as a life experience, something i should treasure even if it didnt turn out good. and i dont really think on the pain im feeling, i dont think of the time i spent with him, just be optimistic always despite the pain and negative emotions.. :)
