    If I've learnt anything in this life, it is that only time can heal emotional wounds.

    Get yourself extremely busy and try to do something to help someone else. I know it can be tough to get motivated when you are down in the dumps. But if you can just keep yourself busy helping others, you will get your mind off yourself and your problems. And yes, it can help if you can find someone else to fall in love with, tho a lot of times that is the last thing in the world you will want to do after being hurt.

    MINDLESS COMEDY AND LOTS OF IT.

    That and rearranging my stuff/buying something new.

    But it really depends on what happened too. If my last break-up was as simple as just breaking up I would've gotten over it in a few days, but after only a week my ex had already started dating someone we had both been hanging out with. I'm still not over that, but I'm definitely a lot better than I was.

    pray even if your not religious ... it worked for me , but I prayed for many months ... in the end i was SO happy about everything... im not sure things would have turned out that way if i went into being self destructive or diddnt pray and talk to god with a deep heartd attitude.... anyway best wishes to you PS dont ever drink and spend your money when your upset .. it will only make everything WAY worse ... i see this in my friends all the time.

    I started a relationship with another friend... but before that I cut myself and disconnected myself from social activity. regret it now even though I have a great girlfriend whom I love but I still lost some great friends and I could have avoided doing that..

    I think it really just depends on how the individual gets over it best for them selves. I personally do not get over heartbreaks very well. Lol. I usually sit in my bed listening to sad music,crying. But obviously that's definatly what you shouldn't do. I usually just to try to detatch myself by the person, trying my hardest to avoid him for awhile, or getting rid of visual reminders.

    How do I get over a heartbreak?
    Other: Self-preparation.

    I saw it coming and had gone over the many scenarios it could have come from. Thus the blow was softened as you can't break the pre-broken. Except I got to choose the terms of the breakage and not the other party, and got to do it in parts.

    (Personal bullshit)Then I broke up with them without so much as a single tear and got on with my pathetic half-existence, business as usual, half-arsed attempts to find work while wasting time playing video games and eating far too little.(End personal bullshit)

    Might not work for everyone.

    Watch gory horror films, musicals, and eat ice cream. (A good dose of girl power songs and Pink helps, too.)

    On week one do crazy things with friends, like crazy pranks or other things
    On week two go to as many parties as possible!
    On week three hang out with your friends and talk to them.
    After one month go to a few parties a week.
    You'll get over it.
    OR...
    Go to a psychologist and tell them that you are depressed and can't deal with life. Afterwards spend the rest of your time trying to escape the mental hospital, you'll get over it.
    ORRRR
    Call the other person from the relationship and curse them out and yell at them for no reason.

    Hope my innocent advice helps :)
