how to stop thinking about the good times?

I'm having some really bad trouble with reminiscing on the past and replaying really memorable moments from my past relationship in my head. I start to think about sweet things she did for me or I for her or important times we spent together. It gets me really sad and there is no way for me to get out of it unless I just go to sleep.

Also, I'm afraid she doesn't understand what our relationship meant to me. She thinks I am depressed because I don't have someone, not just because I don't have her. This hurts the most out of everything. I keep wanting to set her straight and explain to her how much she meant, but no matter how I did this I know it would be pointless.

I need some advice on how to deal with the past and how to accept that good things happened, but that is over for the time being. I just don't know how to go about accepting this...

hey trust me we all end up thinking about the good times. it's amazing how quickly we forget about the bad times. the only hopeful advice i can give is that these good memories of yours will have less and less emotional impact on you as time goes on.

the memories will stick to your head like glue for awhile, what i did was take her stuff and put it in a box and hide it in the closet to keep it from eyes view, then i try to stay busy by talkin to as many people as possible, that is the key is to keep your mind occupied which is next to impossible, but at least u can keep tryin to talk to people, i must have drawn out my breakup story with over 30 people !
