Any advice on how to get over an ex?

Getting over an ex is easy.  It's getting through a heartbreak that's difficult.

Time, and only time, will heal a broken heart.  It takes as long as it takes, and there's no way to rush the healing process.  But don't let that stop you, because it's fun to try.

The most popular method is sex, which is popular for a reason.  Find a willing friend and go to town for a while, on the premise that it's just good clean fun for healing purposes.  I don't recommend doing this with a total stranger, because that's like jumping out of a plane wearing a pack that may or may not contain a parachute.

The next most popular method is drinking.  I don't mean just sipping a few until your upper lip is numb, I mean getting fall-down slobbering Motley-Crue-style hammered and staying there for at least 24 hours.  It won't kill the pain, doesn't even dull it very much, but it's what all guys do so obviously it's part of the natural healing process.

Often, I'm a contrarian. In this case, I'm strongly against the "normal" advice people give. I say, go ahead and continue to love your ex. It's the *way* you love your ex that makes a difference. Change how you see this person. He or she has made a huge mistake, go ahead and forgive, but you should feel sorry for him/her that you cannot be together--not ever. That's because he or she won't learn a lesson if you're available. You needn't hate the person, but because you've been treated unfairly, he or she can't be a part of your life. Say a prayer or send your kind thoughts daily in the hope that losing you will teach an important lesson. Don't forget to love yourself and keep the faith that you have learned something as well--that it will guide who you let into your life and lead to a good love life in the future. Lean on friends! I would be willing to bet you meet, or already have, buddies who know how to be good to you. Love people, not necessarily in a romantic way, it will amaze you who comes to the fore in your life as caring, sweet, fun people.

Have some single, no strings attached break up sex. 
Not only is it healthy and natural but also fun (if you allow yourself to be free and open) it will definitely help you mentally with feeling another person's touch. You won't feel alone. That type of sex is the best when you're dealing with that type of situation. 

That doesn't mean strangers or w.e but a close friend who agrees. 
Plus with the no commitment that is less stress on you.

Have you tried?

I dont think youve tried. 

Because you would have been over them by the 1st week.

Its crunch time, boo boo. Get rid of all her stuff. Delete or trash all evidence of her. From belongings to music to movies to pictures. Then bury your head in school or work.
