How to get over a breakup

I can't offer any advice, my relationships have been unsuccessful, and painfully short. I'd say just talk to your close friends, and maybe get out. Meet new people, and your friends are your friends, and they wouldn't want to see you down in the dumps. <3

3 pro tips

1º- talk to your best friends

2º- talk to your friends

3º- talk to your friends

Friends are everything, and i mean it. If you have a female friend, bonus points, if she really is your friend she can help you out, a lot. If you don't, try getting one, talk to your friends, hang out with them, and get to know new people. Throw a party with your friends and ask them to bring more friends. Profit

Exercise. Ride a bicycle with music loud enough to cover your thoughts. Helps me every time.

games. games. only games. nothing else. GAMES!

a year ago my gf left me who was with me for 6 years.i was a healthy man before this happens whe she left me i had migraine and panic attacks.but all i can say time is your solution.don't feel depressed try to live your life.

1 - As you asked this on a site for gamers I'll start with the obvious one.
Buy yourself a new game, something really complicated that you can lose yourself in for a few days.
If you already own some of the obvious ones (like Skyrim for example) how about the Mount and Blade games?
I have Mount and Blade: Warband to thank for starting to get over my break-up a couple of years ago.

Basically immersing yourself in a complex strategy game or open world RPG for a few days will help you escape the situation mentally for a while...

2 - But maybe you're not much of a gamer OR you've already done Option 1 to death, now is the time to do what most of the other posters here have said: GET OUT.
Force yourself to go and see people! Go out and exercise! Exercise with friends! Talk to strangers! Change your life!

3 - As soon as humanly possible: Find someone else to have sex with.
Sex is great exercise and great for depression.
NO NOT BY YOURSELF! GET OFF PORNHUB!

4 - Stay away from weed and alcohol.
Sure, they're normal things to do, but they will only make you feel worse. They're depressants!

5 - ???

6 - Profit.

Bottom line: This is the start of a new chapter of your life. You had a loooooooong relationship but it's over. Time for a new start. You're not dead yet, stranger on the internet!

Find a good Hentai.

The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.

do drugs, works for most people

In addition to what other people have said about keeping busy and exercising, I'd suggest finding faults with her and plus points you have, convince yourself that she doesn't deserve you.

She wasn't the right person for you, so just focus on her bad points, the things you ignored when you were together or thought weren't big issues.
If you keep thinking she was the one for you and the perfect match it will be more difficult to get over her.

get a gram of coke

5 years. Ah that's grand. Any longer than that you would have started to get sick of her. Ask married people. It's for the best.

For me when my ex and I called it quits I tried to live my life as if nothing happened.
I kept hanging out my friends, I started going to concerts, made some new friends, picked up a new hobby, ect.

I also used my time to listen to music, read books, watch movies, ect about anyting love/relationship related. It made me see that there were things at fault with my relationship with my ex and how'd I could prevent the same issues issues from arising in any possible future relationships.

Play Dead or Alive

Bang her friends.

Find another female to talk to and flirt with. This ALWAYS works (eventually). Females do the opposite shit with guys (have guy friends and confide in them). It actually makes you feel better. Trust me. You have to start looking at other girls.

Physical activity is probably the best way to boost your mood (dem endorphins).
Go to the gym or find a new outdoor hobby or something. Make your life exciting and shake things up. Change can be really fun.

Play music!

Oh buddy, I feel so sorry for you. When I read the post I nearly got crying because I know exactly how you feel. Guys wrote you so many good advices here. Keep strong! :)

You could murder her

Or you could cry while you masturbate to facebook pictures of her

Those are the only real choices.

Or be like me and have a couple of rebound fucks to get it out of your system.

i was in a 6 year relationship until august of last year, 10 days until we were going to get married. in those last few weeks she went to jail twice for beating the crap outta me and then while she was in jail the second time i found out that she had been shooting up. i called the relationship quits, banged her best friend while she was still in jail, and moved on with my life. sure it gets sad and lonely a lot, but you really just have to love yourself (and i'm not talking about masturbation. that's good too, but don't overdo it). realize that time will make everything better and this is just a new phase of your life with infinite potential. just start going out with friends (make new friends... rekindle old friendships. i did both. it works). now me and my ex are still great friends. we offer each other advice on lots of things and we see each other pretty frequently, despite the restraining order that still stands against her. life has a way of working things out on its own. and everything happens for a reason. good luck with all you're going through and god bless.

Go to steam trading card/market > find card > craft badge > sell card > earn profit,after u rich from steam market u can get all the girl that u want

Drown the tears in liquor.
Nah but really, there's some good advice in this thread.

p.s. Don't text her and try to get her back, if she's done then she's done, begging her will just make you feel worse.

Just an update here for those that care, after 4 days she finally texted me that she found someone else and literally was shoving it all over my face, the advice was working but now I feel completed heart broken to the point where I feel like I'm about to puke. Going to go out now though and avoid talking to her, showering and what not. Thanks guys, absolutely love this community

Give it some time, maybe a year or two, then you'll be ready find someone new.
