    I have this habit of cutting off my hair after a bad break up. I know other women like that too.
    I don't know what I'd do now.

    In recent months I've dealt with it by hitting the gym. It works for me. Gets my mind off of everything and puts me in a good mood.

    Ice cream was my therapy of choice. That's also what brought me to MFP. :tongue:

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

    You should find some random 40-year old married guy on the Internet, track him down, and force him to have sex with you.

    Just sayin'.

    My current break up is something I wanted. Don't get me wrong he's great but I am not in love anymore. In the past when the break up is something I did not want and my heart was breaking, I would work more, hang with my friends more. Just do anything to keep your mind off him. Your going to make it through this.

    Sending you a friend hug!

    The last time I remember being upset about a break up I was 14. I'm sure if my husband left me I'd crawl into a hole filled with booze and sex . . . but that's not going to happen anytime soon. Even the relationships that lasted for a few years never really upset me all that much.

    That, and copious amounts of wine.

    i remind myself of all the reasons why the other person was bad for me.

    then i go and buy myself a nice piece of jewelry, so I can say, "this is my *I got rid of that scumbag loser* boyfriend necklace"

    I haven't read this one, but 'he's just not that into you' is also a good one worth reading.
