I don't understand. Until yesterday, I was able to stop thinking about her, and do other activities. Sure, sometimes my mind went back to our times together, but I managed to be rational and just accepted that she just isn't with me anymore. But yesterday, I couldn't do it. Suddenly, her memories come back knocking on my mind very violently, and I was overwhelmd by this huge mix of sadness, pain and anger. Even today, this feeling is not leaving me, and I was almost about to text her, knowing that this won't change anything. How many times you saw threads like this /adv/? Why is so difficult to get rational about the end of a relationship?

Your thoughts are probably snowballing. You started thinking about it a little bit because fuck it why not then you started ruminating. It's a natural process but you have to find something that keeps your mind off of it. A new hobby or love interest maybe?

You're probably right, or maybe I didn't quite realize that she won't come back until now. But dating other girls is out of question for the moment, I'd probably end up to compare the old relationship with the new one, and I'm afraid it will bring more suffering to me and my new partner. Maybe I should start something different as you said, but how can I choose?

For me, whenever I start having those thoughts I just take my mind off of it by forcing myself to think or do something else. You can resist it. Just rationalize it when you feel yourself starting, think about whether thinking about her is going to do anything productive or just set you back and ruin your mood. Then just pick the better option and avoid it.

One thing I live by is to learn at least 1 new thing everyday, Anything outside of school. That's 365 new bits of info per year. You'll find something...maybe a love of cars, maybe a way to start a business. Maybe you'll learn of ways to cope and you can be happy with women. You never know man.

Thanks guys, I'm already feeling better. Hope to not have other emotional breakdown, at least for the rest of the day.
