SPC James Foster The best advice is to stay as busy as possible. I was working full time and going to school full time. I did not have as much time to focus on my failed relationship. If you have friends that you can talk to, that will help. As MSG (Join to see) mentioned, take it a day at a time, and eventually the pain will lessen.

Take it one day at a time. Try to avoid doing anything idiotic and destructive. DO NOT find absolution by climbing into a bottle (been there done that). Don't jump into a rebound relationship. When you are hurting and can't take it, find your nearest Chaplain.

"Climbing into a bottle".. oh im am desperately trying to prevent myself from doing so. it's taking a lot of my strength & will power. Same with the "destructive part"
Rebound relationship, nope. I was gonna ask a fellow classmate for a night into town. But then I realized that I'm too unstable , that I might break into tears. I would most likely be reminded of what happened, making my date very uncomfortable.
If I'm not crying nearly once a week, I'm avoiding social locations & distancing myself from other students.

SPC James Foster - If you are ever needing it, just shoot me a PM and just vent away. Sometimes what helps is just having an ear to listen so that you can get the pain out and off the chest.

Say "Thank you". I thank my exwife frequently for giving me my freedom. Always remember that the best relationship you ever had always replaces the worst one you ever had. (And, if you could see photos of my exwife, you'd really understand why I thank her. She is like a mirror image of the Portrait of Dorian Grey - as she grows older, the evil within appears on the surface while her portrait remains young and beautiful.)

Move on the best way you can and stay busy! Also make sure that you do block him/her from your cell phone , email, Facebook and anything else you may have and DO NOT try and make contact under any circumstances. Just accept it, no matter how hard it is and again, just stay busy! Freak it and buy a Corvette!

Let's put it this way, I haven't had any contact with my ex for a long time. I'm trying desperately to get over her.
Before I moved back to my home state, she takes me off every social network, changes her phone number without any notice. I haven't stalked her or anything.
What doesn't help is where I moved to, doesnt help. I've been living the in basement of my mothers house. I can't even get an apartment at the present time due to not receiving enough BAH. Furthermore, I'm scared to even live in an apartment by myself.
I can barely concentrate on my homework.

SPC I had a divorce years ago. Later i remarried and she passed after 44 years of marriage. Someway with the help of our granddaughters the first wife and i got back together. It's been so much better this time. So there is always hope.

Onwards and upwards. I am so very sorry to hear of this. We have all been there, but do not let it suck you in.
There is no shame in going to see someone to vent all the things that are pinging in your head. It is money well spent to get all the negative energy out in a trusted environment. You will learn new skills on how to cope in those quiet moments when the thoughts creep in and won't shut up. It was invaluable to me after my divorce. And I am a much better version of me because of it.
You loved and you lost that love. You are grieving that loss. You are human. Please do not let it beat you and bitter you. Someone amazing is out there! :)
