What are the best ways, in your experience, to get over heartbreak?

I got an extreme view because the only heartbreak I had was borderline suicidal. I even got thrown in jail several times after from just walking straight into intersections. That said, I was engaged to be married to woman and she broke it off just a week before our wedding after I paid for everything and celebrated with my friends telling them how much I love her.

But if you have such extreme heartbreak, I see it like every single thing you ever wanted in your life is now dead. So you are dead. You can even feel it if you die this way like you don't feel anything for your family, your best friends, they're all like robots. The world is a bunch of robots.

If you reach this extreme point, I think best bet is move out of where you live if you lived together, because you'll have too many memories there and even the footsteps of the streets outside -- you'll remember every single conversation you had just walking outside this apartment, as well as the bed, the couch, every little thing will remind you of her (or him/her in your case).

Then you build a new and ambitious dream. Maybe too much like win Olympic gold medal in 100m dash but you within your field, something ambitious. And that's all you think about every day for the next 1-3 years and then you get over it.

Thank you, I also feel as deeply as you do. I have been in this position before what you said was kind of what worked for me. I will try again. Hope you found peace too, thank you for sharing

First it’s important to know it’s okay to feel sad, but don’t stay in your sadness.

Then you need to get your mind off of them by doing things that are productive. For example maybe hangout with friends more, or go to the gym and pump some iron, jogging also helps a lot especially long runs. Once you’re done running you’ll feel great trust me. Maybe you could get into something new you always wanted to do like hiking or skydiving or kayaking, White water rafting. Anything of interest.

Keep busy - allow more time for the things you love, hang out with your friends or family, surround yourself with things that make you happy.

Pamper yourself a little - maybe visit the salon for some hair color, or get a manicure, maybe even treat yourself to a new outfit.

It takes time but the sadness will fade.

Surround yourself with friends and loved ones as well as have a jamming ass playlist because music helps heal the soul. It's what helped me anyways.
