    Don't let it happen. Always be the heart breaker.

    What I do is I sit with a couple coronas and drink for about an hour and watch movies and sit on the couch and just watch movies and try to forget about the woman who hurt me. I have been hurt more in my life by women so many times I can not even begin to count how many have hurt me. All I need is that special someone who will always love me for me no matter what, won't ever leave me, won't ever cheat on me, won't blow up in my face or over the phone at me, wants to be with me no matter what, wants kids, wants to do everything she can to make me happy, will talk out our issues and resolve them

    Ride out the waves of emotion. They will make you stronger in time.

    Bubbles. Blowing soap bubbles always cheer me up.

    Seriously, I'm serious. Go blow "bubbles". Do something that makes you happy. Bubbles and boobs make me happy. Both at same time is ecstasy.

    I like the way you think! LOL

    My heart is now permanently broken. I will NOT allow myself to be vulnerable again. Love hurts, sometimes too much. I've had enough hurt.

    Time heals all wounds, but the scars remain as a reminder. My scars run very deep.

    How do you deal with it??? One day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time, sometimes, one minute at a time. Sometimes crying helps.

    Never again!!

    Haha, when I was in my early 20s, I gave myself that speech about once per year, and I was serious! But then I would meet someone and get over it. :laugh:

    Time, and start filling your schedule with "me time". Do things for you, maybe all the things that the person who broke your heart hated to do and you shelved it for them. Set goals, keep moving forward. Take one step at a time. Get up, get dressed, get moving, etc.

    Don't think about the Good times... Only the BAD times.

    The above, and run it out of you at the gym! Fill time taking aerobics classes, and push hard so when you are over him/her mentally you have the backing of a better and stronger you mentally and physically!

    The following has been attributed to both Dory Previn and Langston Hughes:

    "i can't go on
    i mean
    i can't go on
    i really
    can't go on
    i swear
    i can't go on

    so
    i guess
    i'll get up
    and go on."

    Listen to angry music and sing along at the top of your lungs. Wine with your single friends. Do something completely selfish. Cry when you feel like it. Talk to your mom, or a close relative or friend for their perspective. Talk to a counselor. Work out while listening to angry music. Go for a long drive, and enjoy the scenery. Reflect on the bad times that led to the break up, it's way too easy to remember the good times. Enjoy being completely selfish while you are single. Go on a trip of a lifetime.

    Give yourself time. Cry. Stay busy, so busy that when you go to sleep you're out in 30 seconds. Eventually it gets easier. How long depends on the individual.

    It will take time to completely get over it. But until then, try to surround yourself with people you love. Keep yourself busy, do what you love doing most. Basically keep your mind busy!
    Also, pouring your heart to a close friend/relative can be very helpful too!

    Time (though if the person is still somewhat in your life, makes this part even more difficult), replace them (even just for a night here and there;-) ), hit the gym, stay busy, focus on you.

    If the person is still somewhat in your life, then you're doing it wrong. Once you break up thats IT. No need to remain friends. Cordial in public should the occasion call for it? Yes. Call and talk for hours friends? NO THANKS.
    Life is about moving forward, not letting a situation that has already been decided ISNT going to work out, hold you back.

    Depends on what your heart is broken from?

    Let yourself go through the steps... You know, denial, anger, sadness, hopelessness, "hey theres hope", hell yeah there's hope, etc! Eat a whole carton of ice cream on the couch watching sad movies and cry your eyes out holding onto something soft, in your pajamas. Cry yourself to sleep. Wake up with swollen eyeballs.... and start to move on. Keep on movin.

    I stayed busy, super busy! The busier you are, the less you think during the day, and the harder you sleep at night. Fake being happy, it will help you actually be happier.

    surround yourself with positive ppl, take time to focus on yourself, shop, and the gym. the gym was a place where I was able to think about goals that I wanted to set for myself and how I was going to change my life. time heals all wounds sweets, the nxt guy will appreciate you.

    nothing mends a broken heart. when your heart gets broken, whoever/whatever broke it takes a piece with them, so that no matter how many times you puzzle it back together, it'll never be completely whole again. such a cruel game.
