I'm going to have to try to do all these things. Everyone's helped me so much, it's still hard but it's a lot better then being depressed.

Another suggestion would be to watch a movie with a different crowd. It was my friend, his dad and I. We watched Meet the Parents. Even though that's a love comedy, it helped a lot and how I feel like watching more movies just because it makes me feel better.

After a breakup, I recommend a good movie day with your best friend, get some alcopops in, a good old movie, and some hagen daaz belgian chocolate ice cream in

Alsooo, one thing that makes me feel better, is having a complete about the ex to a friend, just make sure this friend is a good trust worthy person, someone that will get involved with the ranting about him, trust me, the gigglinggg in your house won't seize, and honestly afterwards you'll realisee, if he's hurt you he's not worth it and your better off without him

Do whatever you want. You're free, now. So make the most of it. This gives you the opportunity to increase your skills in the dating game. So have fun. Oh and try a new 'makeover' as a way to transform your looks to suit your new single life? I did. Went from being the angelina jolie-style brunette with light skin, to blonde and tanned. Vamped up my wardrobe and made some great new friends too. Girls, of course.

Another thing I realized to do is - pray to Lord Jesus to give strength to walk through this time and to bear this hurt. Prayer helps to ease the pains. Yet do not forget to thank HIM for the priviledge you had to love someone, to care for soemone, to live for someone, to be loved by someone. Many people are there on this earth who do not get lucky to love or be loved by someone. Do you remember the hymn "What a Friend We have in Jesus"? There is a line in that song -

"[i]Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He
