What are some things you do to feel better when your heart has been broken?

I usually take tons of food (mainly ice cream, lol) get under my covers and watch sad movies and listen to sad music while I cry my eyes out. It always makes me feel a little better.

I usually sit alone in my bed, get a box of tissues, and cry my eyes out.

Especially when at least one person or more whom you love passes away? Also with persistent traumatic memories or traumatic flashbacks?
Any suggestions or resources? Online or books, etc. that may help in the healing process and supergluing the broken pieces back together almost like new?

oooh, ooh, a silver bullet?

Or was it garlic?

What I’m trying to get at is you have to do that yourself, not rely on the outside. Time, the answer is time.

This all happend around 5 hours ago. Me & boyfriend are having a huge rough patch. Actually may i say "EX" now. And lately hes been doing weed. I absoultey hate that it has sucha big impact on my life from the past. I’ve given him 3 chances and you can only give so many until your bieng walk all over right ? He’s my first love and i know that. it’s so hard saying good bye. I called him and ended it. He didnt even seem like he gave a damn. He admitted he did it, and was like i wouldnt blame you if you broke up with me. wouldnt that make you feel he was hoping for it ? I never took any guy seriously up till him. I cried for the 1st time over a guy i let the soul cleanse. Keep in mind we’ve been distanced for almost 41 days. Im half way around the world on vacation which just makes matter harders and im cming hom in 6 days. It’ll be so hard facing him. Hes making such a big effort of keeping things. I just feel in the end i’ll regret what i did so badly and is so mad at him theres really no effection left to spare. I really dont know what to do when i get home. I truely do want him back but i just cant. It’s just so hard and i know plenty know how it feels. He’s the boy who always puts ont he act of " bieng okay" i’ll never know his true effection unless were close like we were. Right now I have him and hes my everything or i dont have him at all and hes nothing. I just cant be " bestfriends " with him thats just a lead to pain. By the way He was all romantic and everything seemed fine for 3 weeks but bam this happens i feel ive been lead on.

What should i do with this sitaution ?

Answers please !

Try to understand why you are upset. Understand that everything happens for a reason. What exact moment did you feel upset?
Don’t think about whose fault it was- at one time or another, everyone makes mistakes. Don’t worry about it.
Do something quiet and relaxing to help you feel better. Maybe you want to take a hot bath, or meditate, or read a book. That’s fine.
In an hour, or two, or whenever you’re ready, start thinking about whether you are ready to accept the other person’s feelings.
If you are, go ahead, call them, write them a note, or whatever you need to do. Maybe you want to talk face-to-face. They may not be willing to see you, or talk to you, but you should make an effort. Even if they turn you down, you feel better that you tried, and maybe they’ll recognize that you made an effort.
Move on. When you feel you are ready to open your heart again, find someone else to be with.
Smile! Seriously, smiling makes you feel better and if you gather a few good, close friends and have a laugh together, you’ll remember how good life was without him/her and that you’re okay really.
Remember the 2-year rule. It takes 2 years to learn a new job, to get accustomed to a new town and to completely heal a broken heart. If you follow these steps without remembering this first, you will be overly optimistic and disappointed. Real results are obtainable when realistic expectations are set.
The moment he, she or it hammers the last drop of blood from your still loving/beating heart, stop arguing with that person or the fantasy voice of that person about how they are wrong and you are right. Everytime you catch yourself arguing your point in your own mind, just say stop and focus on something completely different.
Gather all the memories of that person and put them in a box, with the exception of 1 picture, one item of food, one item of smell association and one related music item. Then on the next occasion of significance (a Saturday night for example…when you would have normally been with your heartbreaker…put on the music, douse yourself in the scent of memory, eat the special food, turn the lights down low, and cry and rant and wail. You must be at the top of your voice and able to move around the room. Note it is best to do this when you are alone — see "how to act crazy" post.
Put away the memories. When you regain composure from step 2, put the remainder candy wrappers, music, item of smell memory in the box with the rest of the memory debris. Keep out the picture.

Every day for a week when you walk by the picture of your former beloved, say out loud, "Forget you and the horse you rode in on," or some other suitable invective and then catch yourself arguing with the memory and say stop. Say it out loud, be your filthy angriest self in these mutterings.
Every day for the second week when you walk by the picture of your former beloved, say out loud. I miss you, and then catch yourself arguing with the memory and say stop.
Every day for the third week when you walk by the picture of your former soul mate, say I am sorry out loud to the picture.
Replace the picture of your former dearest, with a picture of yourself. But keep the picture in the same place, just put a picture of you on top of it. Then every day when you walk by the picture, say I am sorry out loud to the picture. Yes you are apologizing to yourself for having gone that far around the bend for someone who didn’t know your value and worth, and who doesn’t matter anymore.
Let time heal. It has been one month now. Go to someplace where you used to go or be near your so-called one-true love and go there with a friend (not alone, this is important). Mention 1 time and 1 time only how you used to drink at this very bar or your used to fend off Mr or Mrs. Wonderful’s advances in that same back store room, mention it once only and then have a drink or file some papers, or do what ever you used to do, only now with a different person, preferably a comfortable friend who can smile knowingly then move the conversation forward.
Practice being honest to yourself every day.
Read a book every night before you go to sleep. You might never have read books, but nothing moves you outside of yourself better than a book, not a movie, not a music video, read a book. It will help you heal.
Start dating other people again and not be a raving lunatic after about 2 months.
Speak to people. Speak to friends. Try out forums online. Knowing that thousands like you are going through the same pain helps a lot.

[edit] TipsDo not go on any dates with the person from whom you are trying to heal. This is not productive and will not lead to healing. There is no more closure. There is only healing.
When trying to heal do not accept phone calls and exchange flirty emails with the former object of your desire. This is also not productive and will only prolong the healing process.
You are not healing from the broken heart your sweeti

I’m really thinking about getting back together with my ex-boyfreind. He still likes me, even though I broke up with him, but it was only because my life was so busy back then that I wasn’t ready for a relationship, and I told him that. He understood, and we’re still good friends. But lately, I’ve been missing him, and always thinking about him. I’ve been asking my friends and his friends for advice and they all think we should get back together.

But the question is, how do I go about doing that?
Okay here are the details:
I was going through a family crisis, my grandmother was really ill and hospitalized, people didn’t think she was going to make it. All that stressed my out and put a lot of things behind that were due and I was just feeling down and depressed and pressured with all this work that needed to be done. Plus, I had to worry about a bunch of extra credit projects and reports that were due in the same week.

well if u sure u really do want him back just go up to him and tell him all ur telling us……. he’ll probably understand….

but lemme tell u a story about my and my exbf:
i was going to ask him back out again but then i found out he liked my best friend and asked her out. thats how it was. he sure seemed nice in the beginning, but in the end….. u see what i mean..

anyway, im not saying hes like that. im just telling u to anylaze evrything u can, THEN make the decision.

good luck to ya!777

I want to try to get back with him, but I wanted to give him some space first.. how long should this space be?

Hi

Winning back your ex boyfriend is not easy at all. It is a lot easier to generate feelings in someone, than it is to change their feelings. But if you take the right steps, and more importantly don’t do the wrong things, your chances to win him back increase dramatically.

if you desire to get your ex back try following these steps:

1.one of the most important things is to get your head straight. You need to get rid of your negative thoughts. You have to stop feeling sorry for yourself. You have to be willing to be strong.

Don’t let your emotion and especially depression keep you down. You can’t achieve a goal, if you can’t keep your emotions in check and your mind clear. Negative thoughts are destructive behavior and you don’t want them..

2.Don’t annoy your ex boyfriend. Boys just don’t like it when girls become obsessive about them. Especially ex boyfriends. You may want to feel better by hearing his voice or seeing his face, but if you really want him back, you must back off for a while. Don’t continuously make phone calls to him, send emails to him, or go to his place or where he hangs out just to see him. It’s very important give him time to realize he may have made a mistake. He may begin to actually miss you and want you back. If you blow it, you may have a tougher time getting your lovely ex back.

3.Become an object of desire. If you can, get some new makeup. You will also want to get some new clothes and a new hairstyle. If you’ve picked up a few pounds, start exercising and eating healthy. When on the outside, you’re going to start feeling better about yourself on the inside. If you will feel good on the inside you will be confident and happy. When you’re confident and happy, you will project this image to others. You will become an object of desire to men, including your ex.

These tips may not be easy for you to do at first. You may want to give in and call him or see him, but you have to resist the temptation. If you are really serious about getting your ex boyfriend back the best step to do is getting good guide or book on how to get your ex boyfriend back.

I hope that these tips will be helpful for you

Tell her you sick and she got what you need then start singing and dancing

I’m curious to know how many people feel the same way and how long it lasted for.
I know it’s not the smartest thing. That’s why I’m curious to see how many people go through this. People tend to be more honest when it’s annonymous.

some revisit because it’s comfortable and safe and they have resolved issues…but it is never the right answer….or a good choice

so my girlriend broke up with me about 2 weeks ago, we dated for over a year. she never told me all the reasons why, but she did tell me that she just needed to be alone to figure things out right now and because i always got mad at her for hanging out with her friends more than me, and that sometimes it felt like we would be better as best friends. she told me she didn’t know if it would be a "break" or a long time thing. she told me that she still loves me, and we talked about it in person a few days after, and everytime we talked she hugged me and cried. she told one of my friends that it felt to her like i didn’t love her in between all the gifts and that she really misses me. she told him that she hopes we can at least be friends with minimal awkwardness. also, my brother said that she asked him if i cried the night of the breakup. he told her no, but i did really get alittle teary eyed. also, when one of her friends told her that she thought the two of us should get back together, my ex said, "no, he doesn’t like me anymore and he doesn’t care." and her friend said, "yea he does. look at the texts he’s been sending me." they were about how much i loved her, and i wish we could’ve fixed things and that i was very sad and i missed her. when my ex saw them she said, "aww. i really want to be with him, but i kinda want to be alone too." i don’t know why she broke up with me and i don’t know what she wants. should i go talk to her and try to explain to her how much i care about her and try to win her back? or should i try to do that with taking her places and rekindling the friendship we had at the beginning of our relationship? or should i just not do anything at all? also, should i text her sometimes and ask how she’s doing, is that what she’s wanting me to do? or should i just break the communication? thank you so much!!

She has a conflict – she wants to be wanted (by you) and she wants to be alone. She will have to make up her mind. Until then, I personally wouldn’t be in contact with her. Tell her, "I want to be with you, when you know what you want, contact me. In the mean time, I can’t be ‘just friends’ with you as it’s too painful." then follow through with the no contact.

Are yuu a troll??

If not.. Divorce her.
