Absolutely Devastated

[Sweetypie02]

Hi everyone. Last Saturday my boyfriend broke up with me. We weren't together for very long but I am still absolutely devastated. I traveled over 600 miles just to see him and then he dumped me 2 days after I got there. It really sucks. Any advice on how to cope with this would be appreciated.

Distract yourself like crazy. Throw yourself into work or school. Go out with your friends and family. Stay away from activities/songs/places that might remind you of him. (Only for a little while...once you've healed you can go back to these). Do things that make you feel better, like going to a spa or a movie (preferably a comedy). Just some suggestions...breakups are tough so none of these will be an insta-fix. The best thing to remember though is, the hurt will be temporary. You will feel better eventually.

It happens to everybody. You're so not alone in this.

You both weren't together for very long? 600 miles?

How did you both meet? How long were you together? Why were you 600 miles apart?

If you weren't together for long, then the devastation isn't about him, it's about your shattered hopes and dreams. Understand that you still have hopes and dreams and put him behind you.

He just wasn't the one, that's all.

eee thats not cool at all.

I wrote an article about this that might help..but i can't post it yet.

Basically it talks about how its important now to let go of any hatred you feel and focus on bettering yourself.
