How do you fix a broken heart?

Question

In your opinion... how do you fix a broken heart?

Angelo75 · Accepted Answer

aww... hon...

It has to "fix" itself.

1. Surround yourself by friends and family whom you know TRULY loves you.
2. Let them know what's going on with you. In doing that, they will help you navigate the ups and downs while healing.
3. Steer away from other potential mates until you heal. There's nothing nastier than blindly get a rebound-guy, and when your heart heals, now you're wondering how you're gonna end the relationship with the rebound-guy. Just stay single while you heal.
4. Do things that usually gives you pleasure. Spend some time doing your hobbies. Like drawing... hiking... watching movies etc...
5. Try reading about "endorphins". Find out which activities gives u some endorphins. Excersice... dancing... Jogging... music... Those hormones will help you feel good.

Time... time... time... Give it time! You can't rush this. You just can't. If you try to rush it, you'll just lie to yourself and fill a hole in ur heart by just covering it. But the hole will stay there. You just gotta let it take its own speed to heal.

Hang in there hon.

A heart is a heart & unfortunately sometimes hearts do get broken & if beans are good for your heart maybe that is a good start for fixing a broken heart.

Beans Beans, they're good for your heart. The more you eat, the more you fart. The more you fart, the better you feel. So eat beans for every meal!

Don’t forget to open a window.

feel like just time and eventually finding someone new can help, which both are out of your control lol

but you can control disconnecting yourself from them. i usually delete everything and try my best to not see or talk to them

Only time can heal a broken heart. I thought it would never happen for me, but here I am 8 months later, over the freaking guy that I thought would be my husband this time last year.

ohsheeT · Answer

Very first thing is you Have to accept what just happened and you have to acknowledge it

You can't sugar coat it. Then you have to tell your self watch and see. 1 day from now to 5 months from now you will find the positive that is coming your way..

The sooner that you accept it.
The quicker you will find that positive
That is a guarantee.
Everything in life happens For a reason and when your honest with yourself the reason will come to you even faster

We think when we go through any type of break up or pain from break up it's the end if the world.

It's not because we have been programmed to think abd feel this way it's not that way at all

Something happen to cause the break up if you caused it then you need to deal with it

If you didn't cause it and he did by cheating or what ever the reason is. He has to deal with it

You can feel bad because of of the time you put in to it and all of the love you put in to it

But the reason you put your self all in to it. was and is to prepare you fore your next relationship

Understand when you are true to yourself and you do the right things. Then everything happens for the right reasons

You don’t. It mends over time. There’s a little scar tissue just like any other wound. You do the emotional work to mend it and improve yourself so you can move on.

True healing isn’t about what you lost.. it’s about facing what hurt you, feeling it, processing it, and letting it go. You stop romanticizing, stop holding on to what they’ll never be. They did and split.. That kind of detachment feels like freedom... not because you stopped caring, but because you finally saw the truth in them also..

Feelings and a few good times alone aren’t enough. You need real compatibility... shared values, aligned visions, mutual effort. It’s better to see that now than after marriage and kids, when walking away is harder from the love that quickly faded.. Not to many men out there who want to raise anther mans children.. 💔re-state://background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), bold, justifyLeft, p

Emotional pain will always last, some move on either avoiding the person that caused the broken heart or meeting new people and finding someone better. Some avoid interactions like that all together and focus on themselves either throwing themselves into their work or workouts or just drinking it away. Either way, time passes memories fade a little and eventually their once broken heart becomes a little more normal again if they allow themselves to heal.

So abit like when I was younger I wanted to be the one guy in a woman's life that was the right guy. That fixed or healed her broken heart. Frankly it doesn't matter what you do, you won't change her heart. All you can do is let them know that you truly do love and care for that person it takes time but if things go well then it's better than nothing.

dont be afraid to let them know to contact a therapist

EzraIsShy76028 · Answer

There really is no concrete and/or definitive way. This is the type of thing that is incredibly specific and different from person to person, and that will affect a lot of different people differently.

Some people after a while may move on from a broken heart like it was nothing, and have no issue talking about it either, while others might become extremely traumatized and even turn to addictive and harmful drugs to cope with their situation, and maybe even go to the mental hospital for losing their sanity after a certain point of so much stress.

But either way, from what I've heard people say, you don't really ever truly "heal" from a broken heart. But you learn to live with it. Like the traumatic feelings will always exist, but you learn to take control of them and not let them ruin your life. You have to keep on living and growing as a person. Do things you enjoy. Challenge yourself. Meet new people, and grow even closer to the people you already love.

When I was younger I would just go on as many dates and hook up as much as I could to mend my broken heart. That really doesn’t work though. I think it just takes time. In time you find something that can start to put the pieces back together and make you feel whole again.

FreyaRed · Answer

Time mends all wounds but I think to get quick solution is ability for self analysis and ability to detach your mind from your emotions. Of course it's not easy because effective self analysis isn't possible without hurting of own ego.

In my opinion and it always works for me but mind you for some people its only a quick fix but I always found that I like to have wild passionate sex and preferably with your ex girlfriends and give it your all like there is no tomorrow and I luv it when they keep coming back for more and that she tells all her friends. Actually now that I think of it, it's always works for me and I still have fun with them till this day
