I cry a lot. I vent about it to friends. I don't think drinking would work for me, and I'm also underage. For me, I just had to cut him off completely - because I tried being friends, and I couldn't pull it off. I couldn't get over that I was hurting when he clearly had no problems moving on.

Honestly, I try to avoid thinking about it until it becomes less immediate and stressful. I keep myself busy, and work to keep my mind occupied. Often I go on a reading binge or watch an entire series of a show I've been meaning to see and draw or do something else at the same time to keep myself busy. If I let myself I really wallow in it during the immediate aftermath week or two, so instead I try to focus on other things.

depending on the situation if im sad ill cry and mope around then get drunk and call my best friend. If i did the breaking up and didnt care that much about the break up id go hang out with some friends and go party.

It's been a while since I had a break-up I was actually bothered by but I tend to cry for a while, then write some angry/sad poems (pretty much the way I vent all my emotions), then take a few hours to really doll myself up and relearn how to feel good about myself again, and finally I become a complete human once more as I reclaim the life I knew before I met the person and my happiness.

...then again the last time this all happened I was 16.

It depends on the guy, usually all of that though!

I have a tendency to isolate myself- watch movies at home, order carry-out, etc. But last time, I made myself go out with one of my good friends, and it really helped. Being honest and upfront about what happened and hearing her supportive comments made what would have been a crappy weekend much better.

Go and find someone else as quickly as possible, "no use cry over spilled milk" if its over move on there has to be someone else for you, I know your feeling are hurt but "GET OVER IT"

Never been through a break-up, seeing as I'm married to the only person I've ever dated.

when I was in the middle of my divorce, I had stopped eating and socializing and cried most of the time. I started to heal and go out with a friend and started to talk to a guy that I worked with and then my ex-hubby and I started to work on getting back together so things got back to normal, but I hope to never deal with that again! I guess I was punishing myself but I am happy to report that our divorce just did not work out!
