Wishing only well to all reading this thread. Remember the life/death/life cycle. You are being groomed for a more perfect lover, one you were not ready for without your heartbreak love experience. When you accept the death of the old love, you will start healing and magnetize your new love to you. When you are ready, you will remember how fun flirting is. You will get to experience falling in love again. But first do a ritual to honor your lost love, and return your beauty back to you, when you are ready. You did not lose your love. All your love is still inside of you. ~
I'm going through the same thing. Everything hurts. Everything is grey. Everything seems like nothing. But, what I can say is that I'm worth more and I can feel that. There is some little ounce of strength in me and I can feel it... I guess I have to grab it and run with it. I don't want to waste away. I want to live- I want time to fly. Good luck with yours and hopefully everything will work out for me. It sucks feeling alone. But, what can you do? Just hope that you won't be alone forever, I guess.
TIME. That's the only thing that has ever helped me. 10 years later I still think...what if. BUT, it doesn't hurt anymore. On 2nd thought...falling in love with someone else is very effective.
A book that really really helped me is called "If the Buddah Dated" - really dumb sounding title, but it is a book about spiritual growth through relationships - it helped me so much. I reccomend it to you. also, the other thing - face it - face all the loss head on. When you have a thought, a realization that suddenly makes you cry so hard you think you heart will crack and you eyes will burst - hold on to that - acknowledge the loss. This event was part of your life, your story the only way out of greif is through it. when the real pain hits you - accept it, curse it, know it, get angry at the universe - but don't push it away. don't avoid it. and finally - look at all the good things that you came into your life - just imagine, you could have *never* had those. also keep busy - now is the time to really get all that stuff done that you always meant to do good luck and love to your heart layla
the way i got over a painful relationship was just to be on my own for a bit. i figured out who i was again withou someone right there i re-learned how to get by with help from no one but myself. and then slowly i began going out and meeting people. i would get dressed up go out and enjoy the attention i was getting, then i would go home early and feel really good about myself for being independent and because i knew i was still disirable even though i was single. then i started going on dates just diner and a movie type stuff, nothing sexual and only up to three dates per guy. and eventually i started a relationship with someone, it was wonderful and is still going on. that was what i did, though i think there are alot of people who might disagree with me. the entire prosses spaned 1 year however. i beleive it takes time to heal and you shouldnt jump into aa situation too soon after a breakup. but feeling good and knowing you dont have to be alone if you want to is also important. good luck
