How do you get over a broken heart?

Question

How do you move on from a breakup? How long does it take for it to stop hurting?

Losalt · Accepted Answer

Last time mine was completely broken it took about half a year before it stopped hurting all the time...

It sucks big time.
So just be kind to yourself.
It's kind of like loosing someone to death.
It's the same kind of grief.
And it might always be there at some level.
But it stops dominating your life after a while when you allow others things to fill your life with meaning.

You need to shift your focus to another goal. Say fitness for example and write down what you want to achieve. Then, every day commit to a work out and a run and as the focus shifts to this and you build up days, time will help you heal the wound and get your mind on something else.

There’s no set time amount to get over someone. It can take weeks, months or years. Best thing you can do is focus on yourself, practice self care, do what makes YOU happy. No matter how long it takes to mend a broken heart, aslong as you love yourself and take care of yourself, you’ll be okay. You should always be your main priority.

It takes time. It’s not easy breaks ups never are but it’ll slowly get better within time. Focus on letting it out right now that’s the first step through healing, take some time off from things, do things that make you happy and find yourself again.

The best two ways i have found were to A find and date someone new. then you'll be thinking of them more... but if that doesn't work. take this time to immerse yourself into your hobbies more. or take up a new hobby. get into sowing or maybe take dance classes. try new things. you'll slowly and surely get over it at some point. one step at a time
