How did you get over your first break up?

My first ever relationship (with another girl) dumped me. *steals confessions post*
"I've just been dumped...
It was at one thirty this morning, because she was spending the night.
She apparently really really likes me, but isn't ready for a relationship.
She acted all snuggly and lovey and what not all day before this happened.
She's still wearing the necklace with a ring on it that I gave her.
She still calls me hun, but I guess lots of people do that.
This is my first break up...My first relationship...I don't know how to feel right now.
I just want to curl up, cry, and vomit...."

the trick for me is to have a long good cry the first couple days. it's okay to be upset, it's supposed to happen. don't be hesitant to get out and about. surround yourself with your closest friends and family, those who love you. focus on other things, make a new hobby, never let your mind rest and focus on that person because the pain will just come back. talk to someone who has been through this before, and perhaps meet some new people. just keep your mind busy. good luck.

The best way to get over one lover is to get under another lover. At least that has always been my philosophy.

The support of my mom actually. I remember crying on the couch so hard my whole body shook, and she just sat on the floor next to me silently holding my hand the whole time. My suggestion would be to turn to the people you care about and let them lend you their support. And ice cream.

I cried a lot, reached out for support from my friends, and made all kinds of dumb and dangerous choices about drinking, drugs, and sex. It won't go away overnight, unfortunately, it took me quite a long time to recover from the ending of a 4-year relationship. Try to be kind to yourself, and know that if it happened, it is most likely for the best. I never would have met my spouse if I hadn't been dumped by my first love!

The night it happened, i curled up, cried and vomitted. Then, the next weekend i went on a mission to sleep with as many guys as i could in a couple of months.
Surprisingly, it worked.
Rebounds work, sometimes.

Let the ring and neckless go.You brought them for her and if your hurting it is just a reminder.It is a bummer but there is not a lot you can do,you just have to take things like this in life.Keep yourself busy for a while and try to get away from thinking about it all the time.Curl up and cry is ok it helps get rid of the grief.Most people go through this at one time.Time heals and there is light at the end of the tunnel

I used rat poison. It works wonders. I have always gone by the old saying: "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours. If it doesn't, hunt the ***** down and strangle the **** out of her.

i threw away all his clothes and all things that were related to him.just not to hurt myself missing him each time i see them.fist days my mom helped me.though i'm not close to her at all.but she told me different stories not connected to me or my situation.first i thought why she's telling me all this stuff but then i realized that it actually distracted me from thinking of him.
you need to do something always.just don't stop.clean a room.help your parents or something.learn something new.do what u always wanted to do but thought u can't.
it will get easier with time.
and talk to God.He helped me through so much
Take care :)

Get the jewelry back. Her calling you hun could mean anything from it's just her or she does not want to call you the wrong name. Cry, and then go out and have fun, anther girl will come along. First and last time I got dumped, we got drunk and had great good-bye sex, then I puked all over his living room and left him to clean it up. Not as good as the rat poison, tho.

Truth be told, I never really have gotten over it and I still cry about it. It's been more than 20 years.

I haven't yet. it's been two years. I don't meant to rain on your question but it will take time to heal things. I love someone that is totally awesome right now but I still hurt a little from the time I had my heart ripped out and stepped on. now he is taking someone else out and it's like a dagger in my heart even though half my opinion is good, let some other fool fall for his stupid game. I love the person I have now more than anything but it still hurts when I think of all I invested in my first relationship and he just threw me away. so be careful. get your mind invested in other things and if you have to cry, cry because it's good for you and you will feel better. and soon enough you will find a better fish in the sea like I have. *hug*

Didn't listen to the radio/songs and got rid of everything that reminds you of her.

then grab some p0rz to get me through the hard nights. SMH LMAO.

then went out and got drunk and found some drunken hot girls and had some random sex.

dude then I found a better looking girl with a personality and more money and then she died on me 6 yrs ago in a car accident while we were engaged!!

With my luck go figure
