getting over a break upHow do i speed up getting over a break up?

i just had a mutual break up with my girlfriend of 6 months because we aren't inlove.

i feel really upset and sad even tho deep down inside i've wanted to break up for a long time.

i know its only been a day but how do i get over her more quickly?
Okay I have alot to say on this because I know how devastating it can be and so very hard to get through, but there are definitely things you can do to help ease the pain. Maybe not speed it up, but help it. I hate to say this because it's so cliché but it will heal in time. You have to give yourself some time to think the whole breakup through. A lot of people may not agree, but what I find helpful is writing pros and cons of the relationship. This may even help should you decide to get back together down the line. But if you do get back together, you have to do it with a clear head and then your heart.
When I break up with someone and if it's an especially difficult breakup, I write down all the things that were good about the relationship and bad with it. At first you might find only good things, because you miss her so much. But in time you will see why you broke up and in your case, why you wanted to break up to begin with. Keep coming back to your list when you think of things to add; it doesn't have to be a all-in-one-shot process. Remember how she made you feel, good and bad. Remember what you did right and could have done better. This can help you realize what you want out of love in the future, and how you can be a better person to your nest girlfriend. I'm not saying you did anything wrong, but there's always room for improvement.
To numb the process a bit, try staying as busy as you can. Everything will remind you of her, so no matter what you do she will be on your mind. What I would do is go out with people, not by yourself. You'll just be more depressed. The club scene is not something I would recommend since it's just loud and annoying igetting over a break upn my opinion. It all depends on what you're into, but I would go more with outdoor stuff or other activities. Getting out in nature sounds cheesy but you'd be surprised how much you like it if you try. Anything is better than sulking, at least after the first few days or weeks depending how long you need to grieve over her and the relationship. Everyone is different. The first few days will be the hardest, and you have to go through the grieving process. It sounds dramatic but breakups can be very hard and sad, even if you weren't in love. You become accustomed to being with that person and having her in your daily routine, and then you have to get used to life without her. It sucks, it's heartbreaking, and you fell like no one understands. but trust me, I bet everyone on here that replies to your question knows how you feel. We've all been there. So grieve, accept it, then get our with people and have fun to get your mind and your heart off of her. Time will be the best way to heal. And if you believe in God or another spiritual being, pray for happiness, healing, and strength not to go running back to her.
Everyone handles a breakup differently and what works for one may not work for another. Breakups hurt like hell and time can seem to never go fast enough, but you will be stronger coming out of this. I wish you all the best and I really hope that you find peace in the whole breakup process. Take care XOXO
good answer

Depending on who you are you have to grieve your own way. 6 months is a long time so it will take some getting over it, even though it was mutual. Introverts and extroverts are extremely different in what they like to do after something like this.
Introverts would prefer to stay indoors, read, think and just recover, whereas extroverts prefer to go out and have fun and surround themselves with others. Decide what you are and what YOU want to do.
getting over a break up Do what you feel is right for you, but don't ignore it.
You can't speed it up either. It will take as long as it takes for you. There is no fast forward button on these things. Take it slow and heal.
Hope you feel better. X.
There aren't a lot of ways to get over the one you loved quicker. You've just got to endure. Some people suggest going out and meeting new people, and all this other stuff, but in reality, it hurts more. When you're in the phase of a breakup, you have to let it take time. You can try drinking away, or going out, or even meeting new people. But because you're still feeling the loss of this break up, you're going to constantly think about this other person, you'll always wonder and feel the memories run through you, and this will hurt more than anything. Just let time take its course and sooner or later you'll get over it. Good luck.
perhaps you not really ready to break up with your girlfriend, you could talk to her about your feelings, maybe she has the same feelings for you.

But if you weren't inlove, maybe you did the right think, forget about your girlfriend and move on to find a girl that you will love.

Forget her if you want to get over her quickly.
That is something that's just going to have to run it's course.But what you could do to make things alittle more easier don't dwell on it try talking to family an friends begin around people who love you. Good luck!
Realize that you're an animal and will eventually hunger for a new mate.
You can't - time is the only ally that you have.
well hang out with your friends or better still find yourself another girl.
distract yourself with something else.
buy a guitar and start playing etc.
Work more over time... get a dog....discover a new sport..anything is better than feeling sorry for urself...
