My breakup has been traumatic for me. I can't stop thinking about him. I keep remembering certain memories over and over, and they hurt just like the first time I've experienced them. How do I get over this?

The passage of time should help lessen the acuity of the memories. If your pain has not lessened after a year seek professional help.

Wish i could tell you how. I would be loaded if i had the answer. Wait and wait a bit more. Not inspiring, i know but it never is and never will be. Just keep going and with each day it will get better. There will be lapses. I still have them 7 months out. But it will improve. For you and for me. One day you will think what was all the fuss about. Hollow now but i suspect very true.

OP, are you getting any counselling?

Writing here and having camaraderie with people who have went through the same things can be very therapeutic. Also, do something that convinces you that it is over to get some closure. Burn their picture and say goodbye and all the other things you want To say out loud even if not to them.

Get a journal and write down everything you feel. Once you have done this enough times you will start to see that these are just feelings and they are fluid and can change.

Good luck, it does get better,
