Getting over a relationship is an experience most
of us have to go through at some point in life.
These are the steps as follows:

1. Allow yourself to grieve over the loss.
Grieving includes going through feelings such as
sadness, anger, shock and acceptance.

2. Take any pressure or expectations off
yourself to get over it quickly. Depending on the
length of the relationship or how important it was
to you, you may need weeks, months or longer to
get over it.

3. Take care of yourself. Get adequate rest,
eat right and get some exercise.

4. Nurture yourself. Give yourself
permission to relax, take it easy, and do whatever
makes you feel better - such as taking walks,
baths or naps; listening to music; reading; or
watching movies.

5. Plan pleasurable activities with friends
or family ahead of time (especially on weekends)
to keep you busy and get your mind off the loss.

6. Consider joining a support group to be
with others dealing with similar feelings. Ask
your doctor for a referral.

7. Talk to your doctor about possibly taking
medication if you're having trouble sleeping, or
if you're experiencing anxiety or depression. Or
discuss the options of herbal supplements such as
St. John's wort (for depression) or kava kava (for
anxiety).

8. Get a journal and write down what you have
learned from the relationship about yourself,
relationships and life.

Tips: If the relationship was very
significant for you, you may never get over it in
the sense of having no residual feelings about it.
Over time, the feelings will become less intense
and you will be able to think about the
relationship without it being so painful.
