Mickeylena- is right 100% ! Just take some time to cry as much as u need to. We've all been there ur not alone n this, think of it this way, the guy who is lucky enough to be ur next boyfriend (I know that's hard to think about right now), will make you happy because ur not afraid to put ur heart out there . Don't let this keep u down for too long. It's ok to b sad but u have to go out and live ur life now, like she said keep busy try not to think about the break-up, think about the good times and laugh , smile. This will help u when ur ready to move on. Hang in there, I hope u feel better soon, bye.

Take your time. Do not get into another relationship right away. Give yourself time to heal. Meet new people as friends, talk about your feelings with people who love you, and hang in there. He may have been your first love, but you can move on with your life. Get involved in activities. Try some volunteer work maybe. Remember that this too shall pass.

Try to do stuff that you like dont think to much about the past just think there would be a better future be positive go out to distract your mind & remmeber that things allways happend for a reasson and you learn from your mistakes . mistakes make you grow has a person and help you see things more clear so you wont go back to do the same you did in the past
Good luck ;)

Think of it like this, every relationship you ever knew about ended either in life long commitment or a break up. The break ups are far more common. You will live to love again. Go out with friends and be social. Avoid seeing him.

Yea, I relate very well, had the same issues with my X and 1st love.
The thing that worked for me was to get the support of my friends, and was surprised how many of them had similar stories. I began to relate on a personal basis with my friends and their past situations, I also began to read a lot of information on relationships. I learned to not obsess, to find other things to do with my time, and try to be around people, being alone was not good for me.

In the end, I survived, I had moved on and found a new life for myself, but it did take time. Time was really the key thing for me, and I think for others as well.
Don't feel bad, you can never forget your 1st love, you just find a place that they can live within you and not obstruct your growth so you can move forward without regret.


There is no magic pill, you just have to weather through it, but it does get better as time goes by...

Think of everything that you didnt like about him, when yall were going out. The things he did that annoyed you, the little things you wanted to change about him. Everything you didnt like about him. And then just think, that since your single you dont have to worry about all of that now. Or write all that stuff down on a piece of paper and rip it up into a bunch of tiny pieces. And throw it away. It helped me when my boyfriend and i broke up.

From what you related, it sounds like you might be grieving. In this case, grieving the loss of a relationship that was important to you and perhaps thought would last forever. Maybe giving yourself time to reflect on how you have been affected by that relationship and adjusting to your new reality without this other person is the way you move forward. This what grief is all about. Happy trails.

The best thing is to take some time off relationships and give yourself time to get to know and meet new people as friend, and also get yourself involved with different activities to become busy. You should also distant yourself from him as this will also help you to heal faster.
