You're not ready to let him/her go. But that's that. He/she had decided that it's best for the both of you to break up. You still need him/her. You 'can't survive without him/her'. But once their mindset is made up, you can't do anything about it. All you have to do is - get over it. But the question is. How?

1. Realise that it's already over between the both of you.

Pretend that it didn't happen. I know it's hard to pretend, but well, you just have to try. You broke up for a good reason (even if it's not), and getting back together isn't an option. Until you accept this, you can't start healing.

2. Get Sad

Maybe this might be a little bit far, but yes, just get sad. Give yourself a couple of days to mope around and cry. Sob to your friends, write your unhappiness to a diary, or even screaaaam out loud (a deserted place, that is)! Letting yourself be sad will do you better rather than bottling your unhappiness all up. After all that crying, it's better to start snapping out of it!

3. Leave your ex alone

Having the urge of calling and messaging him/her? Resist it. You need a little time apart from each other, or else you'll never stop hurting. In a couple of months, you might be ready to try out a friendship, but for now, try to avoid all contact.

4. Keep Yourself Busy

Hang out with your friends and family, go shopping, watch a movie or just hang out with fun friends will help. It'll make you feel good and get your mind off of the break up.

5. Force yourself to get over it

After the loss, you won't be thinking about your ex non-stop like you used to. But after a while, thoughts will trail back to your break up. Put aside those sad thoughts off your head and replace them with happy ones.

6. Make a Change

Break ups can be a good excuse for fresh starts. Make a fun change: give yourself a makeover, and etc. It'll make you feel happy and give you a big boost of confidence.

7. Let Time Go By

Time really does heal all wounds. The pain you're feeling now won't last forever, even if it feels like it will. Just hang in there. Let time heal your wounds.

Break ups doesn't mean the end of the world. And if you ever thought of pleading to them, forget it. If they love you, they'll have the initiative to get you back. Give yourself space to learn to get to know more boys/girls of your opposite gender. 'There's a lot of fishes in the sea'. Surely, you will be attracted to one of those 'fishes' and thus, you'll be able to forget your ex.

So, what's your say?
