    Getting over a break up..? My boyfriend (well, ex-boyfriend now..) broke up with me the day before yesterday. I swear, I felt like it was the end of the world (typical for girl break-ups..).. But our relationship wasn't like a 'we rarely talk to eachother but I love him' thing. Ours was special. We did everything together, went to the Cinema together, went to the pool together, went shopping together, slept over at eachother's places, and so much more.. And all of that in only ten months ! But everything started to change after I had to move.. Not that far tho, it takes only thirty minutes from my house to his from the bus. But I still couldn't see him because I had to spend all of my freetime with my dad..(If you read my older questions, you'll know why) So it was almost impossible to see him.. But we saw eachother atleast once a week.. Anyways, long story short, he left me due to the long distance relationship-ish. I've been crying all night ever since, and in the morning i'll always look like a hot mess.. (meaning, puffy eyes and fat lips) So yeah.. I need to stop thinking about him, and move on.. But how? Any advices? Please, it'd be so appreciated. Xoxo

    Put all the things that remind you of your ex in a box. In that way, you can lessen the ways on remembering him/her. Stop thinking about all the good things you've had together. That will just make you miss him/her more. Instead, think of all the times you 2 fought and how wrong you thought he/she was. By thinking of your ex's negative traits, you’ll help yourself get over him/her.

    Is my ex crazy or just having a hard time getting over the breakup? My ex got a little crazy a week ago. He's been having a hard time realizing it’s over. In the past week, he has shown up at an event I was at. He said he tracked my location through my phone. (Note: this scared me. It’s like joking about having a bomb in the security line) Informed me about his marriage out-of-state to a woman to help her get citizenship. After I said it was over and I wanted nothing to do with him. He gave me language like “Other men will take advantage of you. I can only love you properly.” We talked for two hours that it was over. I begged him to speak to his friends about this. They would say to leave me alone. He couldn't as his friends think he’s married. He still didn't get it. I had to feign illness to ditch him. I changed my number aftwers. He called my parents (who he didn't want to mean when they came to visit) out-of-state wanting to know where I was. He called work. He emailed me. I got a protection order. Before it was served, he sent me several emails stating that he loved me and wants to marry me. He even followed me home from the subway. I got the protective order because I was freaked out by his behavior and his fraudulent marriage. I want nothing to do with defrauding the US government. Now that I had a cooling off period, I don't know if he’s a stalker or just cant get over the breakup. I want to go through with the protective order in court this week because I dont want this in my life. Yet, I dont want to lose his security clearance. Any thoughts on whether I should get the final order or ask for a dismissal? Does he seem like a normal guy through a breakup? Or a really crazy guy?

    Do you ever REALLY get over a break up? I’m going through a break up. It just happened maybe one week ago. We were together for three years. Deeply loved each other, in fact I was sure I wanted to marry him, and he often spoke of future plans of living together and a future together. I can not describe the pain. My chest literally hurts, I'm literally sick, my sheets are soaked with tears. I can't imagine ANY amount of time that will go by to heal this, I believe he was the one for me. Has anyone in a long term serious relationship actually TRULY gotten over the break up? I know we can get to the point we’re functioning but I don't think I'll ever get over it. There are things him and I went through that no one knows about that made us very close and made me feel bound to him. How have you survived? Does it fully heal….? How long will it take? Years? I still love him..

    Yes. I’ve done it 3 times. One fiance. One 15-year marriage. One 20-year love of my life. You have spent three years creating a habit of love. This habit’s not going to go away overnight. Your success on getting over him will depend on how well you understand how to change a habit. And it doesn't help that you were infatuated with the guy. Infatuation is about being in love with love, even though it feel like its the other person. Infatuation is the brain's response to the release of certain neurochemicals into the brain, and over time (2-3 years), the brain gets used to it and stop responding. The odds are 50/50 that you would have fallen out of love after the infatuation died out. You need to understand that from the time an emotion starts in your brain, until the time the impulse stops, is ONLY ninety seconds. An emotion only lasts longer than ninety seconds if you’re feeding it and keeping it going. Here are the tools you’ll use to slowly create your release from pain: -Your thoughts create habits. Your habits create emotions. You need to watch your thoughts and stop feeding ALL thoughts that create the emotions you don’t want. You can't stop new ones from rising up … But don't deliberately feed existing ones or go creating new. More will arise .. This doesn't mean something's wrong. It only means that you have developed a strong habit, that you’ll need to change. – This includes stopping the “storyline” … Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop obsessing about your physical pain. Stop telling yourself how much you love him. Stop running over in your mind how good you thought it was going to turn out. – And stop freaking out because you’re hurting. Pain happens in every life: both emotional pain and physical pain. Have you ever injured your body and it hurt afterwards? You didn't fight it and freak out and soak your sheets with tears … You said, “ow that hurts, but I guess I’ve to live with it until it heals and stops hurting” and then you get on with your life, trying not to focus all your attention on this very “loud” pain. In time … The pain heals. Patience and acceptance is very important. – You can survive any emotion for ninety seconds. It’s important to allow and tolerate the pain and not resist it. Watch yourself as you cry … You’ll see the resistance, the actual physical tension, when your sobs are actually the resistance of your body to breathing out. So, knowing that the resistance makes the pain worse, do this instead: – Lie down on your back. Close your eyes. Consciously relax your body … Make it go limp, sinking into the mattress. Breath in and out slowly and evenly, and pay attention to that breath, visualizing it going into your lungs, circling around, coming out through your nose. Focus on your slow breathing. Let your thoughts and emotions roil around you … Don’t resist them, but don’t follow them either. It wont come easy at first, but the with time, you’ll learn the skill, and this skill will serve your well for the rest of your life. – Here is an aphorism to say. Say it whenever your mind starts telling the “storyline” about this ex-guy and this ex-relationship. You can say it while you’re watching your brearth. And also deliberately say it 4+ times a day. When you say it, say it 3 times, and really REALLY try to feel the emotion of what the words means: “I completely and unconditionally forgive you. I’m free. You’re free. I owe you nothing. You owe me nothing. I release you to your highest good. Thank you for helping me learn and grow.” This aphorism will feel very “wrong” when you first start to say it, because you don’t feel this way. But every time you say it, you’re creating a new habit. A habit of letting go, of healing. And when you start to notice that you no longer feel wrong saying it, then you’ll know that your habit’s taking root, and the old one is dying. Yes, it can be done .. But you must be very firm with yourself and not let yourself go running after stories that will only keep you in your pain. You have an “easy” breakup, compared to some (my husband left me in my first year of university studies, with our schizophrenic daughter). Don't make it harder on yourself than it needs to be. If the pain was a broken bone, you wouldn't be hitting your cast with a baseball bat, but that’s what you’re metaphorically doing to your emotional body. Be patient and stop hitting yourself.
