My most common and least physically-and-emotionally healthy method is to drink myself retarded for a good long while. smile

Other ways are to immerse myself in something I'm interested in that satisfies me... usually a creative endeavor like writing, painting, or drawing.

I've also thrown myself into projects like getting in shape, rearranging and redecorating my entire house, going through my wardrobe and getting rid of all my old clothes and going out and buying new ones.

Giving yourself some personal attention is always great, too. Get a ridiculously expensive haircut/color/style. Do something wild.. ever wonder what you'd look like with a totally different hair color? biggrin Get a facial and a massage at a day spa. Get a manicure and a pedicure. Treat yourself to an awesome night out on the town with friends.

Also, join SG chat. biggrin

For me it's always been a matter of time healing all wounds. Nothing can really make you feel better after that but doing new things and things that you're good at can definitely help. After a recent break up, I started taking karate and found that the work out and the acheivments leveled me out a lot. Good luck.

I think of how many millions of other girls there are on the planet. And look, one who happens to live in my part of the world was not my soulmate....shocker. There is plenty of time and world for love.

"The best part of breaking up is making up with you" --- The Ronettes

Throw yourself at him and make a fool of yourself until he says or does something really nasty to get rid of you. Then you'll hate him, and being without him won't be so hard.

I've always been looking forward to being dumped. Then again, I really suck at relationships... confused

Sometimes, as much as it sucks, time does heal all wounds... with that being said, things that have worked for me is writing down what i feel, eating ice cream, crying in the bathtub. etc. etc. etc.

Also knowing you are not alone and if you just need to vent people will listen.

hm. the first time i just felt sorry for myself and cried a lot. that eventually went away. to be trite. it was obviously very painful at the time.

the next time, i screwed a few people and that sucked. basically, i think you just need time. make sure you are doing constructive things with your free time. for the next few months, depending on how intesne the relationship was, you're gonna need to be active. drinking a little with a good buddy or two always helps too. and stay the fuck away from your ex. things can get confusing (boundaries, etc) if you try to be friends right away, or sometimes, ever.

Let's see... After the last really tough breakup, I did the following, which I don't suggest at all, as it didn't work too well

1. Drank heavily almost every day
2. Had a bunch of random hookups and one night stands
3. Cut myself
4. Started smoking
5. A bunch of other really stupid and self destructive things...

There was only one thing that seemed to help, and that was writing.

Start doing something physical like karate, kung fu, yoga, or even just working out at the gym. Just having a higher level of seratonin coursing through you will make stuff a little easier. Also, don't deny yourself your sadness. Accept it, and feel it until you are rady to put your focus on other things. And don't fuck random other people. That just feels yucky at this point.
