How to get over a broken heart fast?

Asked by Ranimi23 (1917points) May 30th, 2010

Any good advise to forget about someone as fast as can?

I am trying to tell myself this girl isn’t good for me, but the heart don’t wanna hear what my brain knows. This is very depressing.

Sadly, you can’t rush the process. You have to go through grief not around it. And that is what you are experiencing. you are grieving the loss of this girl and of your relationship.

You can try each time you think of her in a positive way to substitute a scene of the two of you arguing or a time she was really awful to you.

But really, you have to give it time.

Try to do things that you enjoy. Hang out with your friends, paint, read a book, play some video games. Whatever you’re into.

There’s not really any way of getting over her fast, but you can do things that might take your mind off of it.

Rush into another relationship. It’s fast. Not a good idea. But fast.

Try to not romanticize and idealize the past. It wasn’t perfect but we tend to remember things that way when we experience loss. And don’t torment yourself by staying informed about what she is doing. A wound will not heal if it is constantly reopened. It’s a gut wrenching process but we’ve all felt your pain and survived. I’m sorry you are hurting so much.

If you’re looking for a quick fix for your “broken heart,” you’re already getting over it. Give it some time and focus on keeping healthy. Pain is necessary, even a good thing sometimes, let yourself feel it for a while. Just don’t let it own you. Are you sure you’re done with this girl? Maybe you should talk things out with her just to make peace for yourself.

@Ranimi23, you didn’t mention a breakup. Are you talking about someone you had a relationship with or someone you wanted a relationship with but didn’t actually get involved with? Those situations might call for two different strategies.

Dude, you have to talk it out with some of your friends in the nearest pub. That’s the only medicine. And if one night-talk doesn’t help, keep doing it. You gonna be over it before you know it. ;)

@Jeruba , This is a girl I wanted a realationship with her but I didn’t. I have made a mistake with her, deleted her from all the communication that may be, made it the minimum as possible. Now after half a year I heard I was hearting her by doing that. I can not change the past, and it seems she don’t wanna talk to me any more so I need to forget what I just heard.

She is ignoring me, like I am not exists in the room. At that time I thought that disconnecting from her is the best idea. She was after a long realationship and I didn’t want to be just a friend, so I cut her completely, not to hurt myself anymore.

Now we are like two stranger, not talking or saying just “Hi”. I know I must forget her. She don’t really care for me and she had never thought what it makes me just to be her friend all this time we were in touch.

Seeing her yesterday made all the emotions coming back, while I thoght I am completely over her.

If you can get over it fast, it wasn’t a broken heart; it was hurt feelings.

@marinelife is right. There is no way to get over a broken heart fast. You might succeed dulling your senses temporarily (for example by drinking vodka) but this won’t last.

I have been trying to get over it for 14 years and I couldn’t then what do you call this?

zophu's avatar

@rere Depression, probably. There’s a difference between sadness and misery.

“Time heals all wounds” Sorry. And if its your “1st love” Im REALLY sorry.
Even if you dont feel like it, you need to go out, stay busy and hang with friends.
You WILL get over her. The pain WILL go away. Unfortunatly theres no quick fix.

Unfortunately, the heart doesn’t know this word “fast”. Broken hearts do heal. Techniques which I have found to assist me in ‘moving on’ are:

-any activity which cause one to listen to how they feel: journaling, fluthering, talking one on one with a trusted friend or family member (preferably female).

-exercise, especially exercises which encourage self-talk (running, walking, hiking) are very helpful, because the exercise drains emotional energy, allowing clarity of mind.

-Set new goals for yourself/work towards long standing long term ones. My long term goals pulled me out of navel-gazing because they weren’t dependent upon the S.O. who no longer was a part of my life.

-Check progress based on the cycle of grief link
progress is encouraging, and gives a sense of momentum, which generates feelings of “I am going to get through this” and “things will get better”

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, it’s true. Time does heal it, but man, getting through that time can seem impossible. For me, it’s been a year since a major breakup and to this day, if I hear a certain song or remember a certain special moment, I shed a tear.

Coors Light and lots of girlfriends helps, though. It also helps that he left town. Jus’ sayin’.
