How do you really move-on after a break-up

I recently broke-up with someone who I was dating for 5 months and I am having a hard time moving on. Each day does get easier, but the deep rooted pain is still there. I'm definitely grieving the loss of what we had and the future I saw for the two of us. Its been a very long time since I had such deep feelings for someone, but I knew that it couldn't keep going the way that we were going. I confronted the situation time and time again, but things just didn't change. I believe it takes two to make a relationship work.

Its been one week now and the pain and sadness is still very much there. I've cried everyday, I've talked about it with family everyday. I'm just tired of being sad. How long does it take to really move on? Is there anything that you've done to help yourself through a break-up? I know that everyone has their own way of dealing with the pain but I'm just at a loss. I want to stop thinking about him, I want to stop feeling this pain and depression.

Only time and prayers will help to ease the hurt, but also it is very helpful to shift the focus to different things. What you are going through it is a very normal process, if you feel like crying, it is OK. In a week or so all this hurt will fade away and you will feel free and light to follow your dreams. God bless you always.

Thank you so much for your wonderfully comforting, compassionate and supportive words Marcie, it truly means the world to me. You are so right, it's all about taking the time necessary to go through this process and to continually pray so that I heal more quickly. I have been praying and mediating, as well as surrounding myself by my positive and uplifting family, which is such a blessing. Each day is really getting better. I already feel better since I wrote my post this morning. Thank you again so much for being here for me.

if you really want to forget about your relationship fast, go with your friends to a night club, you will forget about your previous relationship instantly.

Thanks so much Patelk13! Great advice. I gave myself last week to grieve the loss and now I'm feeling fantastic. This coming week is all about getting out with friends and having a good time, meeting new people. I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks again!

no problem puppydoglvr i also believe that you are impvroving as an individual in this society, keep up the good work and you will be above everyone up in the stars

its because u care that u are suffering, if u werent a compassionate bright woman who was committed to her relationship then u wouldnt mourn the loss of what might have been

take it daily and be kind to yourself,

as always loving thoughts and positive vibes

Oh, thank you so much Domestic! You are so wonderful! I truly appreciate your words. That's exactly what my family told me, they said that if I never cared, then it'd be easy, but I was only going through the hurt and grieving because I truly did care.

puppy

and they were only telling the truth so take it out one more time and remind yourself of what could have been then put it away, someone like u deserves a whole relationship that allows all members of the family to be important and cared for

have a good day

loving thoughts and positive vibes

Thank you Domestic! You put a huge smile on my face and for that I'm so grateful. You are so right, I've thought about it less and less, and know that I'm so much better off without someone like that in my life. It's all on the up and up from here. Hope you're happy and smiling today!

puppy

im glad u are smiling and yes im happy today, we have three feet of snow outside the door, friends and relatives are piling into the house cos they cant make it home but its fine,

reminds me of earlier days when mine were small and all had several friends in to play...

to your continued journey of happiness and forfilled dreams

as always loving thoughts and positive vibes

puppy,

I know exactly how you feel. I just broke up with my boyfriend whom I have been with for 4 years. Its hard and awful. I wish I could uplift you but I am dealing with this myself. This sort of thing happens to people all the time but with time we WILL move on and find ourselves with people who deserve us better.

P.s. : doing just fine - boyzIImen
that song seems to be helping me a little.

Hi Akasha, you have such an amazingly positive attitude and outlook which is exactly what we need to get through this type of situation. I healed a lot more quickly because I wasn't in my relationship as long as you, so now I am feeling a ton better. It took me a good week to get through it. But, you are 100% right, that only time heals these wounds. There are definitely some remnants of emotions from the break-up but I am a millions times better than I was last week. Time really is so incredible....I love how it truly heals all wounds.

Please share if you need any support here. I am totally here to help in any way that I can. Thank you so much for your support.
