The person you felt was your one true love decided to leave without looking back, you thought the relationship was going to last forever, you feel like your world is at a standstill, nothing makes you happy anymore, the pain is unbearable, you resort to Facebook stalking(i am guilty of this), talking with their friends to get some kind of closure, wearing a long face all day, but the good news is you won't die, although you will feel like it but you won't, the human heart is one organ that I find intriguing, it goes through pain and yet still finds a way to thrive, there are ways you can make the whole getting over him/her stage faster and easier
DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF : at first you feel you are not good enough, there is something wrong with you, these thoughts will definitely pop up but push them aside because someone who loves you, won't break your heart and leave you feeling miserable.
CUT ALL FORMS OF COMMUNICATION: talking to the your ex after breaking up doesn't really help the feelings go away, no matter how difficult it is cut them off, talking to them only help bring up memories that you would want to forget, even if you both agreed to be friends, cut them off till you feel you can see them without feeling anything.
PUT AWAY ANYTHING THAT REMINDS YOU OF THEM: it might be a T shirt, a wristwatch, get a box shove them in and put it away for the main time, you do not want a breakdown anytime you see those things.
LIST THE THINGS YOU HATE ABOUT THEM: call me petty but this helped me alot, is it the way they eat, pick their nose in public (ewwww nasty!!! I know right) love makes us overlook these things, focusing on what you hate helps ease the pain and just might give you a reason to laugh imagining how you coped with that.
DO NOT GO THROUGH IT ALONE : Friends are there for a reason, to help you through hard times, open up to them do not shut your feelings inside, over time I have come to realize that having your friends by your side help make any situation you find yourself feel like you will get through it.
GET BUSY: I enrolled for a skill acquisition program when I was going through a major break up, it kept my mind off things, at the same met new people, made me feel I was out accomplishing something which I was actually doing, is there anything you've been dying to do, now might just be the time to do it.
HAVE FUN: do what you consider fun, it might be hanging out with friends, going to the movies, shopping, going to the spa, it takes your mind off the pain.
FORGIVE THEM : A Lot of people find this very difficult to achieve, but forgiving them help ease the pain, something you should have at the back of your mind when doing this is that you are forgiving them for yourself, in the process letting go of the anger, resentment you feel towards them and become that free minded person you are
