How to get over the worst feeling in the world?

Heartbreak; I've been here once before but this time around it feels 10 times worst, thinking back I've no idea how I got over the first, finding someone better? Probably. See this person was my light and my soul and I loved them to death, they were my best friend and we instantly clicked and bonded and shared many similarities. We got together and after over a year it's broken. I feel I'm left with nothing and that my life is dead, I can't pick myself up or be bothered. I feel like there is a knife through my heart and my head is saying I told you so.
If anyone has any advice other than drowning myself in a ice cold bath... It's welcome.

    Time. And enjoy your life, and focus on YOU! do the things you've always wanted or have been pushing aside. Like going to college, getting a better job, go sky diving,travel etc

    Surround yourself with your best friends! The ones that can make you laugh with out even saying anything. And of course your family. Start bonding with them more because they will always be there for you.

    Hope you feel better<3

    Drowned yourself in a tv series.
    thats what I would do... im pretty much in a bunch of fandoms. You can start one that you think you might like. I feel like this would help you get you mind off of your lost love. You can find a sense of joy in watching the show. This can also be applied to books.

    I also recommend a day where you do all the things you love to do. Basically pampering yourself. Maybe even try d omething new that you always wanted to do.

    As an artist I like to express myself threw my art. Even if you are not that great at drawing or anything... i feel this could be a good tool in getting your feelings out there instead of bottling them up inside.

    Best of luck to you♡

    Use your friends, or go out and meet new people if the current friends you have aren't enough. Also try taking new opportunities you would have previously let slip - it's a good way to meet new friends, keep busy and find new meaning to life.

    This is a time to grieve. Don't try to replace your relationship or have sex to fill the void unless that's what feels comfortable to you. At the same time, try your best not to socially isolate yourself.

    I know this feeling all too well. I wasn't into gaming but decided to play a horror game for the PC all the way through. Took me a few weeks and that helped me for some reason until it ended and then it was back to how it was again and wasn't eased a bit. So I started a TV series and kept watching it religiously. It lasted a few months and that helped as well. I also sought out support on forums online. In the end, I realized I would love him forever but that was okay. That sometimes things aren't meant to be but that I have to keep myself busy so I don't think of him. It took me a while to get over him to the point I didn't want to be with him. I do still love him but he's just a memory now. It was a good time in my life, the best time in my life so far but that is passed and I have moved forward as did he.

    Absolutely the best thing to do is go out and get laid. Don't go looking to replace your lost love; just go get fucked.
    I know it sounds crude, rude and unordinary, as they say. But the fact is it will do wonders for your self esteem, your self confidence and if your lost love thinks you are happy, it will drive her NUTS!
    Do NOT go moping around thinking you are punishing her by being miserable; trust me, she doesn't give a shit. Don't think you are unfit as company for others; that's just you trying to punish you.
    You are free, free to find another, better, prettier and someone who is a MUCH better lover than your ex ever was. Go forth, young stud and fornicate!

      I'm with you, old fellar. After a couple weeks of laying low, there's nothing more uplifting than a bit of fornication therapy.

      Y'all are a bunch of sorry ass prudes. Sit home and mope, feeling sorry for your lonely asses. That'll really help you get over a lost love, won't it?

    Crying really hard makes me feel good when I'm sad.
    Then I usually find a cool puzzle to solve.

    Its completely unique for each person for me, music, the saddest music I own, sounds counter intuitive and self pitying but it's actually rather cathartic for me, then, after, I can move onto some happier stuff

    The worst feeling I've ever had wasn't heartbreak (Although a broken heart does f*ucking hurt!!), it was watching my best friend die painfully over a period of months. I'm still not over it...

    Time, fun and possibly alcohol.
    After an ex cheated on me, I felt horrible. I dulled the pain in whiskey for the first two days. First evening I got drunk at home. Next day I drank beer for most of the day, then went out with some mates and got drunk on whiskey. Next day after sobering out, I thought to myself "Pull yourself together you fuck! This is pathetic. So she cheated on you. It's not the end of the world. You've been together for less than a year and getting smashed doesn't help. Go fiddle you car, make it shine, go for a drive, go out and look for a girl to have some fun with. Carry on with your life! Fuck that hoe!"
    Never had a really serious heartbreak and I hope I never do.
    Betrayal is the worst thing a person can do.

    It takes time. I've been there and I'm sorry you're going through this. As others have said, do as many distracting activities as you can. It's easy to do nothing when you're depressed, but makes it worse. Best wishes!

    I got over it when I met my girlfriend. Before that nothing else couldn't escape it and I tried to kill myself. Find someone new to make you feel good.

      OMG! I was gonna say that, but as a joke of course. Then again, antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications can be a big help along with therapy of course.

        That's probably because we're soul mates.
