HOW TO GET OVER A BREAK UP

Hey Jesse Neo!

I've broken up with my boyfriend for about two months now and I still can't get over him. I still think about him when I sleep and find myself calling his name when he's not around. What do I need to do to get over the breakup and finally him?

Signed,

Dear Naomi,

Breaking up with your boyfriend is something that happens to many people, so the first thing you must remember is you're not alone. Take the time to cry, express how you feel on paper, scream, talk to your friends about it, cook something, and do anything else you can to express your pain so you won't have to feel the agony inside.

The next step is to move on. Don't keep thinking about the past, or wondering if you did something else, would you and your ex still be together right now. These would not only make you harder to get over the breakup, but also fooling yourself. Just accept you've broken up, and strive forward.

Keep your distance away from him. Do not ring him, ask him to hang out with you, look through photos of him, read his MySpace comments, etc. It will only trigger back bad memory and make your life harder. Instead find someone else to look forward to. Find a dream to follow, and follow it! And if you actually follow it, you will find your ex falling out your life without you even knowing. Or maybe find someone else to be in love with!

Remember to be yourself, stay active, and think positive. This may not be the last breakup you'll experience, but you go to remind yourself to stay strong! And don't let this little pain stop you from ever falling in love again!

If you would want more advice or hope to stay in contact with me, feel free to add me on MySpace and/or Facebook and/or Twitter! Just hit me up a message or comment anytime! I promise to reply to them all!

Best regards,
