Stuck in a rut, can't get over my ex girlfriend?

Question

I'm 18 years old right now and my girlfriend of my dreams broke up with me roughly a week ago, we went out for six months. I've done literally everything I have in my arsenal to try and move on without her, everything is fine until I go to bed or something comes up about her and I break down into tears. I really loved her and I didn't want the relationship to end. She hates me now and there is pretty much a zero chance of us getting back together. I don't have many friends at all in or out of school so I'm pretty much alone here. How do I get out of this cycle of misery? I don't want to loathe in my own pain and regret forever; and I don't want it to take years or possibly several months. I don't want to cry myself to bed every night. I want to live a happy life where I can laugh, play and smile. Please, any advice I will appreciate, I'm tired of living through this pain any longer.

I'm sorry to hear about your distress. Being heartbroken is a terrible feeling. Sadly, there is no easy fix. Time is the only thing that can heal this pain, and time takes it's sweet time sometimes. Allow yourself to grieve if you must, but don't allow grief to become your whole life. The memories will come back. It is inevitable. Let them happen. Cry it out. Eat some Ben & Jerry's. Invest in a punching bag. Do whatever you have to do (as long as it is healthy) until you are ready to get up and face the world again. Then, find some new hobbies. Meet some new people. Start a new chapter in your life. If things are meant to be, the universe will put your and your ex back together. But prepare yourself if that doesn't happen. Life is full of awesomeness. Don't sit out for too long, you don't want to miss it!
