How to Get Over Your First Love

Perhaps nothing is ever quite as painful as getting over your first love. It's not just any old break-up; this is the boy/girl who taught you what it means to fall in love. You thought you'd spend the rest of your lives together. You made plans for the future to live together or go to college together. You have loads of jokes and memories of the time you spent together. Now that it's over, you're scared that you'll never find anyone to ever replace them, or maybe you're just afraid that you wont ever be as happy with someone else. There are no miracle cures to getting over your first love but giving it time and focusing on your needs are good places to begin.

Edit Steps1Realize that you have to reach a point of wanting to get over your ex. At first it will hurt so much that you won't feel able to even start to get over this person, and you may even harbor a deep belief that you two will eventually get back together. This internal hoping and avoidance may last for quite a while but eventually you will realize that you actually don't want to get back with this person. After realizing this, you can move easily onto the next steps.
