I had a my painful broken heart just a week ago. I dont know how to let go but I just consider this as a dark past that I need to get out of and maybe I could start a new life. I dont know how to do it but as of the moment, I make it sure that I`m productive at some point in time though the pain keeps on bothering me sometimes, I just force myself to do it even it things does not interest me anymore unlike before. I just wanted to keep myself busy. Things still hurts though but I am persevere. Hopefully I can start life anew without him someday.

thank you so much for deligently commenting on my discussions. YOu`ve been a great help to me my friend. This week has been really tough for me. I`m still hurt though but I know things will be okay soon. Maybe by the time I`ll meet a better guy I`d tell myself maybe things does happen for some reason. If I`ll learn to accept things the way they are someday in some point in time probably I`ll be feeling okay soon. Maybe I`ll just let time heal everything right now. I wont have to fret anymore coz I gots lots of friends cheering me and giving me advices here in mylot. So thank you so much! GOD BLESS!

You`re definitely right about that. I was just so unfortunate I fall to such a user. He never cared at all. He`s very self centered. He made most of what I could give him and then left me. I`m taking time finding the right guy right now. This time I`ll treat myself right. I wont let anyone pull me down anymore. Thank you for commenting. GOD BLESS!!

thanks joy im happy that i could help^^ im sure that soon you find a guy that will be the right for you. just sometimes isnt easy to find it. me too i just broke up with my bf. wasnt easy but was nothing else i could do. he almost didnt have time for me so wasnt making sense we keep being together. maybe someday if he wants me again he will have to fight much for that. i wont easily accept him. i will need to know that he will do everything for me and will care much. we all deserve a bf that does everything for us^^ that is a true love. if need talk im here^^

Hi joy gracia: I know it's hard but if you know that you have a dark past that won't make any good on you, you'll have the strenght to let it go away. Just make plans that make you think about something different to the past you are trying to leave, talk with people that will make you feel better, work on the things that will make you feel happier, try to learn something new, etc. It's up to you to start a new life. Hope you'll feel better soon. ALVARO

I think this is a good way, everyone may meet something that make you feel dark, and we know no matter how the thing is worse, time will go past as usual, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow. we must make ourself happy everyday and start a new life in a new day.Hope everyone will feel better everyday.

for me, i will turn to God first of all and ask for forgiveness and healing from Him... that will help me to move on with my life and i will also ask for His guidance for my future life as i know that my life is in His hands... take care and have a nice day...

thank you.. Did confess myself last time and it felt good after. I had my faults too. My parents were never aware of my relationship with my ex guess I deserve the punishment..

It does take time to heal from a wounded heart and you need to be kind to yourself. It is all very well to commit to life without your ex but you give yourself the time you need to grieve what you lost. You can certainly make plans in your life so you make definite changes when the time is right. Hope you feel better soon!

I have also faced painful moments in my life. My past was good, at least I thought so but few years back I realized that my belief was wrong and it hurts me like anything. At that I felt very restless. Since misfortune never comes alone, another painful event reached in my life--more particularly in my service life. Though I have overcomed the situation right now, still I don't want to recall that time in my service life. That was the most dark past in my life. I became a totally frustrated person and about to forget the existence of life. I had several responsibilities for my family, so I tried to repair my mentality. I had started meditation to regain peace, mental strength, joy in life. It is a hard nut still I didn't give up the practice and with the help of this practice I have got some quality/skills which may be termed as my life skill also to overcome the problem. It teaches me not to think about the problem so much, it would destruct your health. Think once or twice then forget the chapter but it will be in your sub-concious mind and once that portion of mind will give you the solution. Following these life skills I feel comfortable and leading a happy life now.

Hi Joygracia, Sorry to hear you are going through a rough patch. A week is not a long time to be nursing a broken heart. You are on the right track though by trying to keep busy and all. When I've gone through this sort of thing, I've moved around my apartment, changed up my hair etc. Changing my surroundings for some reason seemed to help and treating myself just made me feel a little better. Hang in there. It does get easier in time.

everything will be ok as time goes by, you can change a palce to live, throw away things that can remind you of the drak past, just make make new frinds and keep yourseld busy.I think having a travel is also will help. best wishes to you.

you know, everything will turn out alright. things really happens for a reason and even if it is painful, these things helps us to become the great person that we are. don't consume to much of the hurt because hurt is always there. it is inevitable. we could not really change it. stay happy. live every moment of your time with smile. love will find to you in a crazy way so just be ready to be dazzled by it.

Don't think about your past and don't worry about your future. Think about present. Forget everything except what you going to do now and do it. Be productive and utilize your maximum for daily bread. You will get a positive result. Failure is a condiment that gives success its flavor.

People are always come and go in a relationship, for me , we have to move on and find others that will fulfilled our love. Before this i also have a history of breaking up but i always told myself that maybe this is a good thing and God have a better plan for me. Keep the hopes up and be with your friends.

The best thing to do is first try to understand and live with your past. if you can accept the past and look at it as a learning experience, you will learn to accept it as a part of life and not make the same mistakes as before. The best advice I can give is that this kinda stuff is a part of life and you will experience it in many different ways throughout your life. Be active, keep busy and exercise. Any form of exercise is a hormone booster and will elevate your mood in many ways.
