how do you move on?

Question

I miss my "ex" (the guy I was seeing for 6 months) way too much. It's really unhealthy - most of the one I'm fine, but there will be extremely low points where I feel lonely and all I think about is him. I can't seem to get over him. I've never felt this way before. It's unfortunate because we would've been dating still if I didn't have to move away for school (I transferred schools I January; he was out of college already). I'm not sure what I can do to move on but I definitely need some help & motivation :(

Answer

i'm in the EXACT same situation as you (besides the moving part, it was just distance for us). i've been going to therapy and my therapist told me something i found really helpful: it's ok to still love someone, even after it's over. she's married and she told me she still has love for some of her ex's. don't beat yourself up for still loving him, maybe you always will.
but it should be said that loving someone doesn't mean it will be impossible to move on. i still love my ex, but i'm moving on at the same time. it's harder this way but you can do it! it's going to hurt and there's no sure way to do it. the things that have helped me most is time and distance. i find i'm more and more ok without him as time goes on and i become even more ok if i don't see him (including just pictures of him or texts from him) or talk to him. you got this, even if you think you don't. i hope this helps 💓

Answer

Look it isn't easy to just forget about the person you love. It will take time but I promise you it will all fit into place but just give it some time.
Hurting and being upset is a part of moving  on. If you feel you need to cry let please do, let that negative energy get out of your system! 
But I beg you don't move on with someone else give it time until you have healed. I know people who have ended up moving on with someone else a few days after a breakup and believe me it has not ended well for them.
