Recovering from Heartbreak

[Arsinoe Selene]

I had a clueless boyfriend in high school (and the summer right after I graduated, I was a senior, he was a sophmore) that decided that it would be a Good Thing to break up with me over e-mail. That was almost exactly a year ago. Still got occational e-mails from him, mostly when he was bored, or had told everyone else he saw at school that he started driving, and wanted to tell more people.

Oh, the dating Gods are vengeful. A few weeks ago while we were onvacation, I got an e-mail from him (he sent something to me, I replied, then this was in his response) that said sorry for breaking up by e-mail, it just happened to him, it sucks. And that he was very sorry that he was so clueless.

Made my day. Just remember karma, and the three fold rule. Whatever you send out into the world, for good or ill, will come back to you three fold.

Other than trying to remember that, loud music. I suggest AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Areosmith, that sort of thing. And crank it. I think it took me longer than we were together to get over him.

Someone on another board I go to said to someone that just got out of a bad relationship that "you did not fall in love with him in one day, why would you fall out of love with him in one day?" It takes time to heal when any relationship, platonic or romantic, ends.

My friends mean a lot to me too...sometimes you just have to give yourself some time to mourn.  Then get out and as others have suggested pamper yourself, manis, pedis, shopping for a sweet lil something for yourself.  You'd be surprised at the neato friends who will appear in your life right when you need them however you forgot that you did!     Blessings!  Lady M

As I said on the phone and when I saw you, with time, it'll slowly come to pass, slowly hurt a little less and less. It won't ever go away but life moves on, and you've got amazing things ahead of you.
Always remember, big sis of mine, that we all love you so dearly.
With one shut door, a few more open.
Who knows what tomorrow brings...or who.

 I know heartbreak. Take things one day at a time. Come here to be with friends who know, love and understand you. Be kind to yourself and keep busy doing things you enjoy.  And when all else fails- give a good swift kick to Dead Bishop's can!  LOL! That was in the other forum. We were always kicking his can when the going got rough!
Is that can still around here somewhere?
