Sledge

Hi. I've broken up with the person I've been the closest to, since before we started dating a year ago even. My best friend. And um. Someone tell me what to do to make it suck less.

Find new hobbies... go to the gym and workout.... do something so your mind will be too occupied to focus on the breakup.

In that situation I just hated being alone. I felt a lot better when I was around friends. It's when you're alone that your mind starts to make you feel like shit. It will take time.

do not underestimate the importance of giving yourself a truly long enough cooling off period

1) Rekinder other friendships that you may have neglected while dating this person.
2) Go out and meet new people.

Focus

FaderMonkey is totally right. When going through any type of break up, man, just get with friends and have fun. Easiest way to get over it is to get away from it for a while. If you sit and dwell on the break up, life is gonna be miserable for a while.

Well, I hate to say this, but dwell on it as long as you possibly can. Avoiding the problem and just forgetting about your sadness with friends/drinking/whatever will only push the hurt off. If you can suffer as much as possible right now it will dull itself. Yes, friends will definitely help the situation, but you can't simply forget about the breakup.

Besides, emotion is what makes us human.
