How do you get over....?

Question

How do you get over a heartbreak? I know you probably get questions like this all the time, but i can't seem to move on. Me and my ex- girlfriend broke up a while ago and i can't really move on, i don't know why? I have been burying myself in my work trying to take my mind off things i have even tried to start a new relationship to move on, but it just isn't working. So i guess my question is how do i move on and forget about her, because it will be best seeing how she is now on the other side of the country.

Answer 1

you gotta give urself a chance..u gotta open ur heart to someone else...if u kept thinkin about her, u wont be able to move on...i know its hard but u have to do it...you'll see the result..stay positive...youll be alright

Answer 2

Oh honey, I just went through my first trans relationship and break up. I think the joy from finally not having to hide a part of me was liberating, in effect, I fell in love for the very first time. And now my heart is broke for the first time too. At least you don't have the fear of running into your ex, I wound up getting a break up book. It helped a lot, and the thing that I learned is that there is no set schedule or time frame to ' get over ' something like this. You have to focus on yourself, try something new, just give yourself time, and don't try to keep your hurt buried. The longer you hide from that pain the longer it's going to take to get over it. It does get easier. I just hope for the day when just the thought of being in the same room tie my stomach up into knots.
