As humans, we have gone through one heartbreak or another. Some left us really devastated, some, we moved on in days.
Heartbreaks are not easy to deal with and moving on might be difficult some times, below are some ways to get over an ex.
What's in this guide?
Moving on takes time
You will not move on in a day, it takes time. Use the time to better yourself; meet new people, go to new places. Over time, you forget about the good memories that were keeping you tied to that person. You just stop having feelings for them because you are occupied with other things and meeting new people. That person isn’t active in your life anymore.

Discuss it with people you trust or strangers
After breakups, there is always an urge to open up to people. Spending significant time with people who matters over the years will make you feel loved. When you also talk to strangers, you feel much better explaining yourself to people who will not judge you.
Cry
Allow yourself to cry, it is okay. You can’t always be strong; it is okay to cry about the failed relationship. After crying, you will be able to think clearly, re-strategise, and put to plan how you wish to leave that sad and unhappy place you are in.

You do things for your happiness and sanity, not because of your ex. You can always unblock them when you’re ready to have them back in your life as friends, maybe.
Never blame yourself
