Re: How do you mend a broken heart?

I'm not sure I entirely buy into the whole it takes the same amount of time as the relationship thing when it comes to getting over it, I feel a lot of it tends to be about the way in which the relationship ended. Both times I've gone through a break up it's been me that's been dumped rather than it being the other way around or a mutual decision. I think if it was the latter I would have gotten over things a lot sooner than I did in both cases. The thing I can get behind is time, a break up that you're upset with is a sense of grieving and you should be able to take all the time you need to heal yourself after one. Eventually you'll get to the point where you can see the benefit of it and you'll realise that you're better off now than you would be if you were still together. During a break up it's easy to look at things with rose-tinted glasses and see only the positives of your relationship, but it's important to remember obviously things weren't going in the right direction if it ended. There was either some issues that you both couldn't work through or a clash of personalities which meant that as a couple you just weren't a good fit, and that's okay. In life these things happen all the time and the most important thing you can do now is focus on yourself and do whatever it is you need to do to get into a place where you can genuinely feel happy again. Feel whatever emotions you need to feel and do whatever it is that you need and want to do
