What's the best way to get over a relationship break-up?

As hard as it sounds, I think it's extremely important not to try to get over the loss with ice cream (what I'm eating right now - though not for break-up reasons...) or basically to allow yourself to go downhill physically, mentally, or emotionally as a result of your loss - though that is probably what most people feel like doing in those situations. (How many times do seniors die in groups of twos and threes within a span of a few months?) My advice: Pay attention to your diet and exercise. Go to your doctor and ask for advice. Do the sort of things that make you feel healthy and strong - so that you look in the mirror and feel good about the person smiling back at you.

Acceptance is I think the best way to get over with anything especially a break up or losing someone special. It is hard to so to speak but after it, eventually you'll be ok. I dont think you should be used to experiencing a loss of any friend or special friend. You just need to accept that it is part of the cycle of life. You just have to accept it but dont let yourself be immune of the pain it may bring because it would make u less human. I dont want you to be hurt always but it would make you strong but not resorting to becoming a stone-hearted person. We just have to accept. You are right we dont need to suppress any kind of pain. It would just wound us more. And by the way, you must pray. We must pray. God will always be our refuge. Remember that. Have a good day. And move on. :)

Yes, it is best to share your feelings to talk aboutwhat's hurting you. By bringing it out, it will lessen the pain and will speed up your recovery. It hurts whenever someone you love or care for leaves or goes away because you care for that person and the thought of not seeing him/her and sharing fun and life in general with that person would certainly hurt. After you have shared your feelings with other friends, don't dwell on it but instead go out with other friends, don't isolate yourself or sulk but be active and try to keep busy. After a while, the hurt will not be so intense and soon will disappear.More importantly, don't feel rejected or umworthy because that's not true. In life, people often go their separate ways. There are a lot of other people around so get involved with them and get new friends.

relationship break up is really difficult tp handle. i am undergoing one right now. the best way, i guess, is to divert all effort and attention and see other outlets. new environment, new job, new hobby, new you. i think renewing yourself means improving yourself. in the end, you become better and better relationships will happen.

I think the best way is to talking with your friends.i haven't been through too many relationship breakups,too.but in my mind,the friends,especially your best friends is the a very good audient,just like beautyqueen~~~~lol

As vain and irrational as this may sound, i think replacement is the answer. Just being realistic here(^^,)

Yes I can fully understand that hard moment when a relationship broken. It will definitely take time for both to calm down and to get over it. I think that both have to accept the truths and choose to move on from that point. It is best not to continue unhealthy relationship because it is sometime too hard for both to bear and even could cause more problems. The best is to end it and move on.

I agree, it doesn't get easier. In fact, I thing that after you lose so much, you start to get hopeful and have more serious relationships. I usually just try to keep my self busy for a while to help dull the pain.

i have never experienced this. but i have seen amny to experience this. i think its hard part of life. one must be careful about it. do not think more about taht person. it will hurt you more. also try to engage in some activity that you enjoy to diver the attention.

Well, I would give myself a few days to cry over the breakup. Then I would tell my friends about it. But in my philosophy, no one can really help you except yourself. So while I am talking to friends about it, I would tune my mentality. I would try to use different ways to convince myself until I feel better.

Communication in relationships is so amazingly important. Not just with the other person involved though but also with yourself. I find that when I have a hard time on my hands, whether it be an arguement that is unresolved or a full on break-up, if you write it all down on paper you can see things from a more objective eye. So what should you write about? Firstly, I believe that hindsight is 20/20 so you need to look at your part in this relationship - where did you go wrong? What could you have done differently? Then you can move on and go into the reasons that you feel the other person didn't do their best in this relationship. Then you should try and ask yourself why the above things happened and then more still how these actions made you feel. Then write down how you would have done things (and had the other person react to your actions) in a perfect world! Then think of how doing it this way would have made you feel. Then you have your truth, the first emotions that you wrote about signify the ways your heart is broken and the last emotions are about are what you need in your life now. Giving yourself these feelings will repair your broken heart and fill it with what you need. Make these your next goal, not so much with someone else but in the relationship you have with yourself - how can you give yourself this? This has got me through some hard times. Remember your life experience really is just a lesson, so learn from your mistakes - to do this you must see what mistakes you have made and not just focus on other people all the time. This life is yours - its all about you!

It's something like this, you valued them so that you get hurt. You've done your part so there's no way to put all the pain in your heart. You're on the denialstage where you reminising things.. You have to accept the fact that it's for real.. There were gone. Have to let go and explore things around you. Maybe somethings waiting very good for you..the best thing to do are get busy with the things you can live for. Spend time with friends and enjoy life. Don't sit and cry in the dark side of your room. Come out!

I'm not so good at handling the breaking-up in a relationship.I broke up with one of my friend a year afo and we haven't talked to each other until now.We have been close friends for more than 6 years.I just hope this kind of thing will never happen again.

The best cure for heartbreak at the ending of a relationship is time. Time and friends and ice cream (ice cream because my husband says so). While it hurts when a boyfriends leaves the fact is if it didn't hurt then it's an indication that there is something wrong with your humanity. I find that taking a walk helps me when the hurt gets to be too much. Being around freinds also helps distract from the pain and fill in the hole the loved one left. After a while the pain lessons and when you find someone new the void is filled and you'll be happy again.
