Anyone know how to fix a broken heart?

Question

I know of nothing. Just wait in agony until time dilutes your pain.

The only good thing about a broken heart is knowing that you have a heart.

Little consolation though.

Shall I act heartless from now on so this does not repeat itself?

I'm feeling like I am loosing my mind. I can't bare it. It can become pretty hellish.

I dedicate this question to all the broken hearts out there.

Honestly I know nothing about a broken hearth and I am still 18 but I know quite a lot about how to stop suffering as a lot of things happened in my life. Try to detach yourself from it. This is extremely hard and for me it took years to do it but once I did I am finally doing good. Now what do I mean by detachment? I mean that you should detach the "How are you doing?" question from "How are you feeling" and also detach "What is happening in you life?" from both of these questions. This is a very simple explanation and it does not explain exactly what it is but you will have to figure it out yourself (sorry there is no shortcut, I was looking for shortcuts for years and it lead me nowhere). When you manage to somewhat do this you will be able to confidently be able to say that I am doing great while also being able to say that you are sad at the same time. Also this does not mean that you should become emotionless. After you achieve this whatever happens in your life the question "How are you doing?" will always have the same answer and you will be "happy"(also keep in mind that it is not possible to detach yourself completely but you can detach yourself to the point of keeping you mental wellbeing somewhat stable). Another option is to seek professional help and I really advise you to do so if your current situation bad. I hope you will get better soon.

Falling "in love" is investing in a cherished fantasized ideal outcome. This is fine PROVIDING its reciprocal. When a disparity between the parties grows, the difference in 'shared' perceptions generates friction and irritation resulting in a psychological and physical estrangement and distancing. This attachment is RARELY 'equal'. There is ALWAYS the 'Lover' and the idealized 'Beloved'.The presence of 'the Beloved' provides the stimulus for the psychological release of Endorphins of Dopamine, Serotonin and other potentially ADDICTING neurochemistry; the ABSENCE ceases its psychological AFFECT and a pharmacological withdrawal response begins. The 'higher' the previous pleasure, THE DEEPER its corresponding absence is felt. The simplest answer is to 'transfer' One's addiction to a NEW source of stimulation. A 'rebound' relationship. Alcohol or other drugs does not substitute... they MAY 'dull' exterior perceptions BUT... cherished memories remain internally in greater clarity. With time, your neurochemistry returns to 'normal' balance.

There IS a difference between 'Loving' and BEING 'In Love With' someone ~
You NEVER truly stop 'loving' someone. ;)

I’ve been through two of the most hurtful hurtful heartbreaking engagements. Two different stories I would take all day to tell you but what I have learned is that we always learn something from it. It makes you stronger and wiser. Work on yourself and heal. From my last relationship I am now 4 years single and I have learned to truly love myself and I won’t settle or allow no man to disrespect me anymore. I have a big heart and that hasn’t changed no matter how many times it’s been broken. Bc I know one day I will meet someone that will appreciate all of me. I know many say omg your 40 no kids or married but I’m fine because I am very attractive and I have a lot going on for myself.

Read and listen to motivational podcast and surround yourself with good people. Also pray that God gives you the strength that you need.

Calm down, focus on yourself, be gentle, and take time.

Don't let yourself fall into "teenage edgelord emo" for more than a few hours, then snap yourself back to reality.

Stay connected to reality. Meaning meet with friends irl, go and be around people, and remind yourself life isn't a My Chemical Romance song.

If you're really struggling, consider contacting a therapist. Sometimes it takes external help to get yourself out of an emotional hole.

You're in no rush to get dating again. Take your time.

Lady_Heart · Answer

I seen a lot of men change after breakup, one particular he became a player started breaking it other innocent girls hearts cuz of what happen to him. This is childish.

Every goes through pain, the best one is the one who choose to heal and still be best version of himself despite everything they went thro.

My ex agenda was to break me n destroy me mentally, he told me that himself when it didn't work. Imagine that n am still thriving thanks to god. And ofc my strong will.

So first, if u believe in god pray, don't stay alone, continue doing ur daily stuff, keep urself occupied, u will heal n move on believe me, give it time

I'm sorry you're hurting, my best advice is to take some time to self reflect, heal accept your pain, learn from all the mistakes and get back up better than ever. Another user said it best it isn't about how hard you fall, but how tall you stand once you get back up.

Never close your heart though. The pain hurts now but it helps us grow, learn, and evolve. May God ease your pain. Best wishes xx

Road trip man... don't need your buddies, just go alone. The last thing I want to see is places we'd been together, so a change of scenery takes your mind off the break-up.

Doesn't hurt of you attend a party or two with some sweet little bunnies too.

Singing_Hollow · Answer

remember you are in control of your own emotions and self. Only you can deturmine the time you are willing to waste crying about someone. Distraction is key... go to gym, join a sports club and surround yourself with friends that are good for you.

time is all that it takes. lots of time or a little time, depending on you as a person and your emotions, your ability to heal and move on.

but really, there is no other way except time. this goes for literally everything.

Try a plaster? Sometimes super glue works too. If those fail you, seek counselling. Sometimes just talking out your thoughts and feelings help.
