What did you do when you were heart broken?

I almost ended my life when I was heart broken. That was years and years ago. What made me had second thoughts was my son who was still a baby that time. It is the worst thing that happened in my life. But then, I thought I have to go on living for my son and for the people that I love and care. Being broken heart isn't the end of everything. In fact it is the beginning of something. When something goes away, something comes. Don't let a broken heart end everything for you. Live and enjoy life for out there someone is waiting for you. Who knows this is a way in which you could find a better person to love? Fear not for love is just somewhere around. Don't let that person who broke your heart win but let that person see that you can live and enjoy life without him or her.

My first heartbreak left me badly broken. It took two years for me to recover over my first love. It helped that my friends and family members were there to cheer me up during those dark times of my life. I learned not to give my heart fully to the person I love and to keep myself busy most of the time. I also realized that there are risks of being hurt in loving someone but love is really worth it all. My second and third heartbreaks were less painful because I was able to cope up easily. I believe that there is really someone out there whom who can truly call your own. Someone who will love and respect you in the same way that you love and respect him.

Cheer up friend. Sometimes those who are hurt more often are those who can face tough situations better and you should be thankful that you have loved and lost rather than haven't experienced loving at all. I hope you could finally have someone to love and cherish.

hi, masmasika. i shiver everytime i remember the things i did when my heart was broken. yek LOL! i cried, i begged and i did not care about my cellphone bill! but one thing i realized is that although hearts get broken, they can and they do become whole again. after so much drama, every morning that i wake up, the pain slowly disappeared. now, i am happily married. i am thankful that i had my heart broken then because i would not be where i am now if it did not happen. but, well, i just wished that i did it with a little class LOL! :-)

I think you are right! Killing ourselve is not a solution to the problem. Life is so beautiful, even were hurt,or in pain, we have to out grew it, and learn from this. It makes us a better person. Life is a journey, and we make our own life. Their are reasons that we really don't know what lies a head for us. But life has a meaning to go on. Somehow, their is someone for us. In love we can't us for a return. It is better to have love and felt love then not having love at all. We can only have ourselves cause nothing stays permanently. Have a good day! God be with you!

Oh. I can still clearly remember the things I have done when i was heart broken. It took over a year for me to recover. I got drunk everyday with my friends and cry with the same reason. He was my first love, and he disappoint me. LOL but I am doing fine now. And happily married

My heart has been broken ever before by my dear family.At that time i was so sad that i can't accept the fact .But now i agree with your thought that we shouldn't be beated by that person who don't worth you do that .I only thing i can is just live better and better ,i just want to demonstrate that i am the best .Living for ourselves is the thing we should know .If you always live for others such as your child ,family or parents i think it is nosence. we can enjoy our life with every way and every time .So let the person who hurt you ever seeing that you are better without her or him and you can also live happy.

I was really hurt when I was heart broken. I thought my life would end. My friends and family cheered me up. They would always tell me to go out and enjoy myself. I kept myself busy with friends, family, hobbies and work. I also prayed a lot to help me with me situation and to be more close to God. After a few months, I realized that my ex didn't mean to me anymore. That I understood why we broke up. I always looked at the bright side of life and that made me easier to move on. I learned to love, respect myself and fix my bad attitude. I learn to not take my family and friends for granted. I learned a lot and it made me learn to move forward.

My friends and family helped me out a lot too. They really pulled me through when my ex ended things with me. he admitted we had a good relationship, but didn't see us being able to make it if we were to get married which really hurt me. But everyone around me pulled me through.

When I was heart-broken I went out with my friends and I actually met someone new. While I still love my ex with all my heart I am putting attention on to my new man and trying to give him the love and attention he deserves while I move on from the ex.

I remember the situation clearly when I was heart broken. I feel very bad and cry at that situation. I feel like its the end of the every thing at that time my friend supported me and explain about my future. After then I didn't feel that much when any problem occurs in to my life. Our life is in our hands so mould it in which we like. Happy myLotting.

As normal human being does: depression and crying all the time is one of the displacement that I did. I just waited time, Time to heal and blessing in disguised I've met a better person than the one that I've been shedding tears on.

That's great! You are doing what's right. Sometimes it's better to tell the truth and face it rather than keeping it to yourself. Your family is there to help you and cheer you up.

Good news.The best thing to do when we have problems is letting it out,sharing is the nicest way to ease the pains inside.

What did I do? Well, I didn't eat for a few days, I felt empty inside, and I completely cut myself off emotionally for almost 4 years. I didn't develop emotions for anyone, heck, I couldn't even cry. It took him getting married for me to finally get over him. But looking back, I don't think that I was ever really in love with him. I was more in love with the idea of him, the idea that I would share my life with him, the idea that he was my "soul mate." But he himself really wasn't all that great. My advice for those with a broken heart... realize that it is going to suck, and if people tell you that it's time to move on and it's not a big deal, tell them to leave you alone and stop judging your emotions. Embrace your heartache. But find a way to realize that it is really over and that you CAN find love again.

I feel very drepressed when my heart was broken. But I am a optimistic girl. When I feel unhappy,I like to thinking about something happy or to do some sports . Maybe travel is a good choice.

Everyone gets hurt at some point. It should be a learning curve not a reason to end your life. If a disppointment is enough to end your life over then something is just not right. You are not using your life to its full protential.

That is the best advice ever, i was so heart broken last year i stopped doing everything i loved!!Now it is a year later and when i gave up on the dude that broke my heart someone better came along!!So now i dont let things bother me like i used to and im thankful for it cause i figured out i was better off being his friend than a pretend love!!

broken hearted is something could ruin your life if you have encounter this, specially if you love the person so much. I have experience such broken heart, when my crush leave the school and transfer to another school. then i cry and cry almost everyday, my parents doesn't know about this, when they asked i just told them that it has something to do with school requirements and activities but not. Until i find myself listening to love song music and one of the song that makes me strong and make my life feel better again was the song entitled "You make me stronger by breaking my heart" sung Reging Velasquez, Asia's song bird.

I wanted so bad, to show you I could do it girl, But now things are sad, my head is spinning in a world, Heart Brocken, Heart Brocken. These are the words to one of my songs and yes I do have them copyrighted. I was in a very difficult stage in my life and needed a change. Things ended up much better for me although at the time there didn't seem to be much hope. Hope your doing okay too. Crocket.

The first time I was truely heartbroken i was seventeen and I can still remember that hurt! I am the complete oppisite of most people when they have been hurt. I distance myself from everyone! I go inside my shell and wallow in self pity! That was what worried my friends and family the most. I would not talk to them I did not want to go out or do anything, I just stayed shut up in my room as much as possible! I could not eat or sleep and cried all the time. I was like this for weeks and it made me very sick and i had to be hospitalized! I finally got over it and always wondered to myself how I could let someone get me in such a pitiful shape? I assumed it was because of my age, Well thats not the case. Just a year ago(15 years later) I found myself heartbroken again and this time the betrayal was much worse. I did the samething! I completely shut out everyone around me! I did not want to be around anyone and shut myself up agian. I was very sick, vomiting several times a day! But this time I was able somehow to snap myself out of it alot quicker! i got back on my feet agian within the week. I guess everyone has their own way of dealing with heartbreak.
