    If you keep continue the way your going, it will lead to depression. Part of get over someone is realizing the relatinship is over and then take it a day at a time.

    How long has it been now? Your mother, friends, and people on here gave you some good advice, so use it, if you truly want to get over her.

    Thanks~ I am doing my best to avoid contact with her.

Keep your head lifted and keep smiling. You are going through a rough patch but smoother roads lie ahead.

    I do not understand why but all my friends, both males and females, tell me that I am the perfect guy for a lot of girls.. =/

    But, I have only had one serious relationship and this is it.

    If you get busy, and be proactive in your healing, you can change that. Don't mean to be harsh, but you get nowhere in life waiting for it to happen. You have to get off your butt, and adjust your life to living without her, and regroup. When she sneaks in your head, get up and do something to change your focus. Its about the ACTION you take on your own behalf.
    And for gosh sakes, why are you talking to HER mother? Not a good idea at all.

    Life is not over and you will have more relationship, some will come to a end and some or one will last.

    When you become involve with someone there no guarantee it will last. If it don't you reflect back on it and think and say"oh well her lost".

    When your with someone look at actions whether words, think with your mind whether than your heart, things you have common goals they want to achieve, always follow your instincts.

    So take a class like karate, to help relief some on the stress. It will also help you think with a clearer mind. Again what don't kill you makes you stronger. Also, delete any text/voice messages you have from her, pictures as well, you don't need reminders. If she have anything at your house, as simple as a shirt throw it away.

    Thank you :)

    I also just got off the phone with my mom; her best friend is a shaman so I asked my mom to ask her best friend the situation.

    It's pretty confidential, but it has something to do with my karma :O

    Sik, thank you for your help~ I'll keep updating the situation :)

    How long did it take to cope the situation for those who were in my position...?
  • Jun 1, 2008, 06:19 AM

    That depends on how well you apply yourself and how bad you want to move on.
    Those that can accept what has happened, and are through mourning, can move on quite fast. The whole thing is what you do to cope with your own feelings. That's where many get stuck for so long.
    Learn what to do with yourself in these situations and you will learn a valuable life lesson.

    You need to live by your own signature because Arthea Franklin saids it best. Stick to the words of the song and let that song be your motto.

    Everyone is different and it mostly depends on that person mind set. Once you accept that its over you can get over it with patience.

    The answer to this has been given over and over in this thread and others. You need to understand what happened, accept the breakup occurred, and know what your part in it was. You then need to get busy, move on, and try to see life beyond that person.

    The four stickies at the top of the main page have TONs of suggestions and guidance on all of this. In fact, I believe there is one called "What to do after a breakup..."

    In knowing yourself its much easier to know how to act, and react, to what life throws at you. Knowing yourself, makes it much easier to make a decision for yourself, and what you want, and need, which are two different things, and what right and wrong for you. Knowing yourself, allows you to grow, be happy and healthy, and confident.

    As you learn more you grow more.:cool:

    Anyone know tips to get my life pattern back on again?
    I sleep less than 6 hours or I sleep and wake up every two to four hours..
    I eat really little; stopped eating for two days minimum.
    My focus is out of range =/

    Maybe instead of trying to get your pattern back you should work at creating a new pattern. Having a new pattern will allow you to feel as if your life is taking a large turn, for the better. If you remove the regular patterns from your life, you won't miss (as much) the other parts of your pattern, like her.

    Techno/trance

    little bit of rap
    rock
  • Jun 1, 2008, 08:52 PM

    We'll I don't listen to most of that, rock is probably the only thing on there I can help you with, but it really depends on your mood. But here are a few songs (angry-ish, not the sad, feel sorry for myself kind)

    -Crossfade - So Far Away
    -Breaking Benjamin - Had Enough
    -Fuel - Last Time
    -3 Doors Down - Going Down in Flames

    That's a few for now, if your looking for anything else let me know.

    I hope some of those help you. They always inspired a little bit of anger/determination in me, which is great for getting into NC...

    Does having sex with random girls at parties get my ex off my mind?

    What she said afterwards was that we should be friends and date later on.

    I don't know what the heck I should do =/

    Please, don't say "get over it" cause that does not help.
    Give good examples and such.

    Stop thinking about so much. And if she did say yous want to date later you should have just rejected her because what if u guys go out again and the same thing happens over. You'll be even more fustrated and out of your mind!

    Can't tell you I have experience myself, as I don't think it would help me but - If you look around at some of the stories others have posted here, it doesn't appear to help. It might take your mind off it for the moment, but it certainly won't help you cope with the loss any...

    I imagine doing this would probably make you miss the intimacy you shared with your ex - my main reason for staying away from it.

    Well there is a famous quote "The best way to get over someone is to get under someone new" . Basically it means just what your friends are saying.

    It all depends what your outlook is, personally I've wasted a lot of my life wallowing in self pity and being depressed after break ups and it really doesn't do any good, you need to force yourself to get out and pick yourself up and move on.

    Live by the golden rule 'They only get one chance! ' makes your life a lot easier, otherwise you sit there thinking ,will she come back ? Or Is there hope for us? When you should be thinking 'She had her chance!! ' I'm not wasting another minute of my life even thinking about her'!!

    Just remember the only person that holds you back is yourself!!

    Go out with your mates and meet some new girls, you'll be surprised there are millions of lovely girls out there, you'll meet a new one like I did and think whyever did you waste all this time!!

    Hindsight is 20/20, but your so right, there are a lot of females out there, so healing PDQ, is the way to go.

    I agree... meeting new people is exciting.. lol.. you may find someone you're really attracted to or some new good friends... and about the sex part.. idk, it may work for you.. I think it's just a "quick fix", you may forget your ex for that moment but maybe then you'll miss her more... but we're all different.. maybe it works for you... if its something you would like to try, then go for it.. :)

    Sex with random girls is a panacea. It will distract you while you're doing it, but afterward you're right where you left off.

    You need to SERIOUSLY date other girls. Random sex means pointless interaction with women, the exact OPPOSITE of what you need for your mind.

    Just my take on it.

    ============
    Side note: Random sex with random girls can always lead to random babies... something else I assume you don't need right now.

    Ok...

    Anyways..

    I called up my recruiter for the Army and asked for more info on training and so forth. I told him that my girlfriend left and I decided to join for sure, but I needed to plan out my time so I know when I am available for training, which takes about 9 to 11 weeks.

    Dude, seriously... You posted the question, I just was reading the other posts and agreed so you give the attitude. Next time I'll just bypass one of your questions. Thanks for serving the military though
