I have posted this before but I wanted to see if there were any new stories out there that could not only help me, but everyone else that could benefit from this thread! Thank you!

I had an awful breakup earlier this year, could barely do anything for months. The best thing I could do was blocking him off social media because the guy had a tendency to show up whenever I was almost over him. It's best to keep yourself occupied and work towards a goal. Now's the perfect chance to do things you always wanted to do And remind yourself of why it ended... that often helps a lot.

(Later it turned out I dodged a bullet when he broke up with me; he tried to pressure an underage friend of me into sending him nudes... She made screenshots of the conversation and ended up sending them to his mom. )

The thing to remind yourself is that very few people actually marry the first person they date and usually have several breakups before finding their spouse. If people couldn't get over breakups then no one would ever meet and marry someone else and everyone does.

 

The best way to heal quickly so that you are emotionally available for someone else is to cut contact with your ex. You need time to let go, so don't stay in contact or view their social media. It takes far longer to heal if you keep the flame alive by dwelling on them and staying in contact. Stay busy with other things to break your obsession with the ex. Remind yourself the sooner you stop dwelling on the ex, the sooner you can meet and be available to love someone new.

I won't go into too much detail but what worked for me is total and complete NC, a good support system, independence, active social life and dating.

Agreed with this. I am actively hanging out with my friends (both guys and ladies) and tell myself to go and spend time with them and have fun in general.

 

I believe the day will come where the memories that I had with my ex will be less painful and eventually be gone in the end.
