How to cheer up from a broken heart after rejection

How to cheer up a broken heart?

I don't think you know what love is. Hurt, maybe, but not love.

Get a dog, perhaps.

@Mame, you have every right to say that. Such a comment can make you feel that you are more mature.

Buy this record and play it very loud. It worked for me the first time.

Also, get off the internet. Go outside.

Even if you just stand in front of your house crying.

I feel that I lose my sexual desire. I am afraid that I may never be able to fall in love with a woman any more.

I don't want to get over you. I guess I could take
a sleeping pill and sleep at will and not have to
go through what I go through. I guess I should take
Prozac, right, and just smile all night at somebody new,
Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind who would
try to get you off my mind. I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I'd do if I wanted to, but I don't
want to get over you cause I don't want to get over love.
I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don't exist
and not have to dream of what I dream of; I could listen
to all my friends and go out again and pretend it's enough,
or I could make a career of being blue--I could dress
in black and read Camus, smoke clove cigarettes and drink
vermouth like I was 17 that would be a scream but I
don't want to get over you.

Best response so far . . .

Try this one, over and over again, preferably at about 105db.


A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

Did you read the book "The road less traveled"? Is it helpful?

Not in my opinion. It seemed like a lot of psycho-dribble mixed, with generic religious thought, designed to appeal to the masses on so many levels it was bound to be a best seller, but you are welcome to give it a read and form your own opinion.

I still can't accept that why she is so heartless, so cruel!!!

Why is she heartless and cruel? She's just not interested in you. I'm sure there are women you aren't interested in and that doesn't make you heartless and cruel. Stop being a Drama Queen and get your **** back together. The best revenge is being happy.

I feel reluctant to pursue another women because I feel I deeply love her. In the meantime, I feel it is difficult to build an emotional connection with another woman which is stronger than the one with her.

He did get a dog. (See "How to eliminate a strong sexual craving for a particular woman?") Today he got kuvasz.
