trouble moving on after break-up?

me and my ex broke up last december we were together for almost three years the trouble is things aren't getting any easier for me.

I haven't heard from him since January and i do try to get in touch but he doesn't respond. I convinced myself i'd need to talk to him to get some closure but that isn't really an option.

I've been diagnosed with depression and i'm getting help with that and last month i was in hospital after i tried to OD. People say time's the best thing but I feel like im stuck in groundhog day and i really want to move on.

does anyone have any advice?

    i havent heard from my partner since january either. thing is .. we didn't have any cross words, bad feelings or nothing...

    i agree with you about "closure" at least it would let us know where we stood (whether it was the answer we wanted or not, cos i DON'T want to "move on" .. i loved what we had) .. ive tried text, email, phoning, writing etc but without any response. now i dont want to actually go and knock on the door and cause an uncomfortable confrontation but... would that be so wrong considering the way i've been "iced out " ..?

    would it?

    Three years is a long time together and if the break up was not of your choosing

    it is going to take time to get over. Certainly longer than a couple of months.

    Go out with your friends and keep yourself busy. Stop trying to get in touch with him

    and you do not need to talk to him, he has made his feeling very clear you have to accept

    it and try to move on.

    Sorry to hear about your depression but at least you are getting help. It may not seem like

    it now but you have so much to live for, your future husband and babies - I promise you they

    will happen but with someone who loves you - not him, he doesn't.

    It is always said that the best way to get over an old boyfriend is to get under a new one!!

    Good luck.l

    It sounds like he has moved on.It is time to fall in love with yourself again. Then your beauty will shine . Each day your need for him will grow weaker if you focus on yourself. If possible spoil yourself. Go shopping , get your hair done , clean your house and anything else that is for you. When you begin feeling happy without a significant other your beauty will shine from within making you irresistable to others.

    You will look back on this someday and understand that it is all about how much love you have for yourself.

    Good Luck Sweetheart

    wow this is serious.

    idk what religion you are, but i find god is the best answer. he has unconditional love for you, if you want to know more, i know a couple of passages you could read from the bible to ease your mind.

    blink _champion@yahoo.com just email me if soo

    but ok. . . your going thru a tough time, and feel you need him.

    you need to find happiness again. whatever it was that made you happy, or kept your mind busy from thinking of him, you got to do that. . learn to be happy on your own.

    then treat yourself to something nice. a good long relaxing day at a spa. or the beach. or join a gym, something. . . but keep busy. . good luck. . . .

    Im going to try to help but im not positive it will but anyway..Try and find someone else or get a hobby that will take your mind off of it and you will still think of it but not so much.Also tell yourself you don't need him and he was bad for you just try to convince yourself that you will be alright. Hope this helps :P

  • Realize that its in the past and that it doesnt meen **** now, and that it was fun while it lasted, i know its hard but just dont think about him, remove everything in your life that you directly associate with him (pictures texts emails facebook friendship) anything u can, the less u think about him the better.
