[Parche]

:shrug: :shrug: :hi:

I can feel mine doing that.........................

[datasuspect]

1. lots of drugs

[nomorenomore08]

13. Seconded!

:beer: :smoke:

[NightWatcher]

2. al co hol. save your heart, but kill your liver

cheers. off to happy hour this afternoon

[lizziegrace]

3. I try very hard not to let anyone get that close

x(

[Parche]

4. I did and its killing me now

:cry: :hi: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

5. ...

:hug:

I don't know which is worse - being alone or being hurt. :(

[Roon]

25. Being hurt is a lost worse

I would rather be alone.

[Roon]

24. Yep, Lizzie

that is what you got to do. There is no person on this planet worth having your heart broken over.

[Forkboy]

33. That's the lesson I've learned.

[supernova]

6. Be thankful for the time you had and skip the rest

Easier said than done, I know.

:hug:

[NightWatcher]

7. the best way to get over someone is to get on top of somebody else

[nomorenomore08]

14. Ha! I'll try to remember that one.

:)

[flvegan]

8. Duct tape it.

[Sky Masterson]

9. Nothing you can do.

It is part of the human condition.
Just keep in mind that this is only a moment in time.
And the one true love that you may find will be well worth the hell you are going through right now on your search for he or she.
Life is far to short to dwell on this moment.
Move on.

[Jamastiene]

19. I should just follow you around and take notes.

That just made me feel much better about my situation and I didn't even write the OP. :)

[Sky Masterson]

26. I'd make a terrible sage.

:silly:
I am glad it helped.
I hope your situation improves
:)

[siligut]

10. Aw crap.

Try to be philosophical? Revel that you have feelings? It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Hang tough, things can only get better from here? :shrug: :cry: :pals: :hug:

I know, go harass gorn! That always seems to cheer you up.

[TZ]

12. FYI...

"Its better to have loved and lost"...someone said that to me not too long ago and it ranks up there with one of THE most painful things I have heard..:(

[DS1]

16. That, and

Robocop remake due for 2010 :cry:

[TZ]

18. Way to kill the mood Mr. Yellowlegs....

:P

[siligut]

23. Thank you and sorryTZ.

I was going for the futility of trying to speed up the healing of a broken heart. If we were to invent an “Eternal Sunshine” type neuro-memory eraser, I believe we would cleanup. I am sorry to have reminded you of something so painful however. Would a big cyber kiss from DS1 make it any better? You know he wants it.

[Bucky]

11. As a teacher, I'm able to relieve stress & angst by verbally abusing children

It's quite therapeutic. And being teenagers, they have years to work off the trauma of being in my classroom--the ones that I don't drive to end it all, that is.

[applegrove]

15. Cry. Hard. As long as you need to. You did as a baby and you got over stuff then.

[kentauros]

17. I was going to say something similar

such as treating it like you're grieving, which you are. It will pass, but it's a hell of a road to travel.

[BOSSHOG]

20. Live in a cave or accept the fact that hearts are fragile

and one will be broken several times in a lifetime. If you are lucky. For without love our hearts are just stone.

When I got to my first duty station I told the grumpy old Chief I worked for that I was so homesick it hurt. He said GOOD! That means that somewhere there are people you love and in turn you love them as well. He said that beats the hell out of having no one. Few people know that Chief Petty Officers are really sensitive softy philosophers and love doctors under that gruff exterior.

Chin up Buckeroo!

[BarenakedLady]

21. Take me to Hawaii.

:hug:

[lost-in-nj]

22. let me know when you find out ok

:hug:

:loveya:


lost

[SalmonChantedEvening]

27. Nothing.

I spent far too much of my youth fearing the pain of a rejection that floorboarded me at 16.

At 50, I feel that if it doesn't hurt, it never really meant a thing, and I'll never stop looking for meaningful things in my life.

I speak only for myself.


Vibes for the pain you are in my friend. :hug:

[bigwillq]

28. Drink.

:beer:

:)

:hug:

[dembotoz]

29. the question becomes then--which way are you better off

some folks are very content to be alone. To put
up the impossible to climb over walls. If you
can do that and be relatively happy- go for it.

myself???
I have been burned a few times ala Joan of Arc.
And i am very introverted which makes putting myself is the
situation where i could find someone to love VERY Hard for me.
But i keep looking in my slow, inefficient, perhaps pathetic manner,
why??
because i have hope.
Hell,
if i can be a democrat is this republican hell hole....

What is more likely--A democratic victory in my county, or finding
someone who will love me as i love her.

[crim son]

30. I've never found a successful method.

I grin and bear it when I have to and then when I don't, like tonight, I drink and/or distract myself with stupid movies and stupid conversations.

Sorry, Parche. Sometimes I wonder what is the purpose of this emotional function, heartbreak. It never fixes anything and wastes a hell of a lot of time. :hug:

[Callalily]

31. Sorry, no advice.

When you find the answer, please let me know.

[Deja Q]

32. Hobbies, prozac, and a LOT of scotch tape.

Trust me, I've felt the pangs of love, found love, only for it to be lost.

[PBS Poll-435]

34. Canadian Whiskey

Tivo and sarcasm.

[begin_within]

35. Cry it out, let it go, move on, and

spend a lot of time around pets and kids - they will make you happier just by their presence. Don't keep hanging on to the person who is breaking your heart - that's just endless pain. Let go of them no matter how much it hurts, that's just a temporary though intense pain, and pain with a purpose. Hanging on to them is endless pain as long as you hang on, and serves no purpose.

[NNadir]

36. This is going to sound like awful advice at this point in your life, but...

...I let it break so that later on I will always know that I have been alive.

I say this as an atheist, but, for what it's worth, "I have lived to thank God that all my prayers have not been answered."

It is a quote from the children's writer, Jean Ingelow, and I have lived my whole life around that quote.
