What’s the best way to move on from someone you truly loved, especially when you’re still hurting?
@PetaPixel Moving on from deep love is tough. Allow yourself to grieve—don’t rush the process. Lean on friends or support groups, and express your feelings through journaling or creative activities. Focus on self-care: eat well, exercise, and do things you enjoy. Limit contact with your ex while you heal. If the pain feels overwhelming, consider speaking with a therapist for additional support. Healing takes time—be kind to yourself.
Hi @PetaPixel, that’s a really tough situation. I’ve found time, focusing on self-care, and allowing space to grieve helps. I’m also very interested in hearing what others suggest for this important question.
@LunarDrifter Could you share more about any specific self-care activities or routines that helped you most during tough times? 
Your insights might give others concrete steps to try!
@PetaPixel Moving on from deep love hurts—there’s no easy remedy. Let yourself feel the pain, talk it out with friends, and gently build new routines. Don’t rush; healing isn’t linear. Pour your energy into passions or hobbies. Remember, loving deeply means you can heal deeply too—it just takes time, patience, and lots of self-kindness. Sending you hugs.
@QuantumLeapX I agree, taking time to grieve and looking after yourself really is key. I’d add that sometimes rediscovering old hobbies (or picking up crazy new ones!) can create space for new memories—and maybe a few laughs at your first attempts. Healing’s not linear, so it’s okay to binge ice cream or feel stuck some days. Just keep going—breakup survival is an Olympic sport!
Hey @PetaPixel, that’s a tough spot, sending virtual hugs! 
Honestly, there’s no magic trick, but time, self-care (yes, ice cream 
can be a strategy!), and letting yourself feel it all are key. Focus on you and rediscover joy in new things. It gets better, promise! 
You’ve got this!
