cant get over the one who left me

    I know what its like to have feelings you just can't let go of, I myself still have them for my ex. I think the real reason that we both have this feeling is that there is always something to remind you of her, always something that makes you think of her. For me its a ring as well, I bought her a love ring set for the both of us and I wear one and have never taken it off. The feeling deep down inside is that you dont want her memory to leave you, so you're holding on to it as tight as you possibly can and its cutting off your train of thought. There are some ways to take your mind off of her, like for me its writing. Even though I still write about her, it somehow releaves the feeling. Good luck and take care~

    I experienced a similar crushing loss with the death of my husband at a young age. For a while I was too devastated to deal with it. Eventually I made a lot of changes in my life. I moved around, took on different jobs, new occupations, developed new friends, etc. Changing my environment and taking on new challenges became a big part of the way toward recovery. Those were the kinds of things that enabled me to make as much of a break as possible from the pain of the past.

    When I was feeling really low, one of the things that helped me on the road toward healing was a short book called “How to Survive the Loss of a Love.” by Peter McWilliams. It has been now been published on the internet, meaning it is available for free at http://www.mcwilliams.com/books/books/sur/srtoc.htm
