How to forget your ex?

What should I do?

Are you depressed because you can't forget your ex? It's inevitable to have these feelings, after all we are humans.

So what do you do if you break up and you feel sad? First, I would recommend to erase your ex's number. The reason? So you won't get tempted into calling him/her back. We're human and unless you have really good self-restraint then chances are you will cave. Besides why would you want your ex's number? It only shows that you are hopeful of returning some day, which I don't say it's bad, but if you were one of the many that have been mistreated, why put yourself in that situation again? Just move on to someone who's better. Keeping their number is not a way to move on to better prospects.

Second and most importantly go out! Never stay inside locked up in your room. It will only get worse! You will sink into a depression, if you're not already, and will most likely try to win him/her back. Which will only make matters worse if they're abusive or if they put you down and treat you like dirt. But, let's say if weren't like that. Why would you make yourself available? Why sound desperate? Remember confidence and independence is attractive. Being needy and clingy will not win them back (unless they're an abuser or a player).

Going out for a fresh of breath air and keeping busy both physically and mentally will fight against depression and feeling lonely. Going out with friends or even interracting with strangers helps forget the situation and releases some of that hidden tension you have built up inside you. Trust me I know. When I was in a depression going out for me was a blast. I got to interract with strangers and I was happy as I could be. When I would stay locked up inside my room, matters only got worse. I gained weight, felt disgusted with myself, and even considered the unthinkable. I wouldn't want that to happen to others which is why I advise to go out and have fun.

Relationships come and go. When we feel like we've lost the "one" there is always someone out there for us, if we're patient enough to wait for them. My final piece of advice is to NEVER rush into another relationship unless you're sure that person feels the same about you, which is LOVE. Never use anyone as a "rebound" or a way to get back at your ex. You will only hurt an innocent person, who had feelings for you and who you used for your own selfish emotional needs. It's like a never ending circle. Don't do it. If you found the person for you, then go for it. But, take things slow as you might not be over your ex. My advice overall is for you to go out, have fun, and be surrounded by people who love you.

Remember grieve (for a moment) and move on. It's not healthy to dwell on something or someone for too long. As it can be damaging to your heart and soul. Good Luck.
