I had a terrible breakup last year December. It was a relationship of six years. My ex treated me very badly after all these years with him. He moved on without looking back.

It’s almost five months now, I still do not have appetite to eat, I can’t bring myself to listen to love songs as it saddens me, I still cry everyday and everything reminds me of him.

How long does it really take to get over someone and please how do I get over him. I am drained

Talk to friends that's the only thing that can help now, avoid staying alone esp when depressed

3days if you're not a lazy youth ..

For the idle renegades , it could take a lifetime

As long as you start making food money after the heart break
Focus more on that

This is me right now 🥲

24 hours

So you haven't eating since 5months

Chai,sorry I feel your pain ,but my dear let me tell you something no Nigeria man is worth the pain you are through especially the the one that treated you badly.

I don't think you have job...that is why your heart break pass two weeks, you are jobless and still eating mama thank you.

You ex probably took care of all your needs, financially speaking, that is why he moved on fast because he has to hustle.

My advice, get a job.

Can't you praise God?

Get a hold of yourself.
Learn to let go of people, because if you don't let go, they will let go.
Don't hurt yourself over a broken relationship, as there are billions of people wishing they have you.
Take yourself up from the broken pieces, mend yourself and start all over again… this time, with your brains before your heart.

Lol, is because na only you deh the relationship, you invested more, that's why, even go pain you till you exit this planet

If you're "really" heart broken. It takes an average of 4years to heal satisfactorily, but may take a decade to heal completely. No amount of being busy, and singing praises can help you. It will only distract you for the time being.
The only thing I know that can help is a paradigm shift. You must re-evaluate your reasoning, how you understand human relationships. Then you'd realise why the heartbreak happened and the roles you played in it.
Understanding the why, leads you to accept the situation and head for higher grounds.

just because men "seem" to move on unfazed after a breakup, doesnt mean we do...its just that we are better at dealing with our emotions (while we all know you women are emotional wrecks).

everyone is different, every r/ship is different, but no matter the breakup, eventually you will get over it.

It should pass away before a year, except you have mental health challenges. Naturally, once out of sight, also out of mind. If it lingers go for psychiatric treatment or psychological counseling.

Shit! That amount of time you gave is caused by preexisting mental health challenges, it's not normal. Normal person, a few months, maximum a year.

There is no specific and standard period of time for the healing of heartbreak. It depends on the level of love you have too. And there is no single thing you can do to quick heal your heart pain. But also bear in mind that everyone must experience heartbreak. I was heartbroken twice in 2019. Those heartbreaks were worse than physical pain. I want you to know that it is a normal thing not because you are unfortunate.

Well, the word heartbreak is being misused these days. A little disappointment and you will hear heartbreak. Real heartbreak takes a long time to heal. If you healed and moved on within months, then you were never heartbroken. It has nothing to do with mental health.

Its positive dropping, your issue here, well the primitive cause of you, being encapsulating your issue here might be you've never moved on, im not being asinine, curing your issues might be drowning like a coastline paradox; but ill state them; 1. If you have your pics of memories together, delete them asap; so as not to found your self in another level of predicament. lastly; stop revisiting your old chats. read books also such as 'games people play' and 'game of desire'

Heart breaks is part of relationships experience

So you have mourn the dead relationship

You have to dust yourself and move on to another relationship before your mind will develop hatred for relationship

Next time don't allow such relationship to be too long, you will end up hoping on an empty relationship

Good luck and learn from your past mistakes

sorry dear, instead of thinking of all that happened,its best you move on and if you find it difficult to move on, it's best you find something positive to occupy your mind things like goals, creating a goal has been a better way to overlook negative things.. lastly pray for comfort and abstain from anything relationship be it group,page or videos until you recover very well...


life ain't fair to the good hearts.... please get well

I think it depends on how much you loved the person and how long you've been together.

Your case is understandable because you were together for 6 years... I wish I could give you better advice, but I've never been in a six years relationship that failed in the end.

I'll leave the other nairalanders with experience to advise you.

6years relationship? Ahhh! What is relationship self? Enikure .

That's not true
Heart break is very possible to reach 4 years.. even more.

How many abortions have you done for him for those 6 years?

One innocent will come and marry and pay a dowry of a broken damage woman and still if the ex showed up again you will still go and Bleep him again

Things to try:

Gym
Project
Friends
Music
And going out.

I think you should have broken up with him since if he treated you bad but Pele
