How to get over my ex-boyfriend
How I did it: You just have to take care of yourself and focus on YOU. And heal.
I thought I would never get over him. He was my first love. We clicked in a lot of ways. It is possible to fall in love more then once. I knew he wouldn't be my last, but he held a special place in my heart. He hurt me a lot so that might have made it easier to let go and move on. You can't be with someone who hurts you. I still love him as a person but we just didn't work out. I cried so much.
I cried everyday for like a month! I was so heart broken. He was my baby. I gave him so many chances.
One day I came home from work, I was crying on the ferry, and at work. And I was crying so much I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack. My body physically felt run down. From then on I decided I need to take care of myself.
I made alot of new friends and new memories, and just tried to keep myself distracted by LIFE. LIVING. And I got affection from friends and family members and dated other guys. I was over it in 8 months! Which I think is enough time to mourn a 3 year relationship. You can't let it consume you. There's a whole world out their full of such beautiful amazing people that deserve your love way more.
Lessons & tips: Don't give up. Don't give in. Give yourself time to FACE things, and deal with the pain head on. Don't hide it or become in denial.
Resources: Distracting myself as much as possible with work, friends, family, myself, art, music. Find as many outlets as possible! Make new friends and new memories! Learn more about yourself in the process!
