What helped you get over a break up?

Four months post break up and I realised yesterday that I'm really not ok. I think I've been clinging on to hope that we will be able to resolve things, even though we really had a lot of ups and downs during our relationship.

We've stayed friends which may be making it harder. Have now blocked him on social media.

How can I get past this?

I just keep thinking that there may be people who don't have his same faults but I don't care, I just want him.

I know I deserve better than what we had together though.

How can I stop feeling so sad and remember just how crap it was sometimes? Any ideas?

Write down everything that was crap. Start making a list and keep adding to it. Being friends certainly doesn't help you to move on, glad you're realising that! get rid of anything that he bought you, delete pics, messages, everything. Brutal but it helps with the process of letting go.
