Good remedies for lovesickness

After losing someone you are so utterly and completely in love with, it is one of the hardest things in life to overcome. But you are not alone, there are millions of men and women who face the pain of being lovesick every single day. The feelings become real illnesses for such a long time, that it seems impossible to overcome.

Just a reminder of your loved one, like their smell on a pillow or seeing a picture of them, leaves your heart in your stomach. You are unable to swallow or even eat for days on end. You lose the will to go on and make it through each day. You begin to not even care about anything or anyone, especially yourself. Even your hygiene starts to get bad, your friends and family begin to worry uncontrollably about you. You do not even realize the downward spiral you are going through.

But do not give up and do not give in to these feelings of hopelessness. Your best remedy is to talk and get it out. Talk to your friends, your family, your co-workers, anyone who is going through the same thing or has gone through it. The best thing you can do is to let it out and vent. Do not keep it all balled up inside of you. Allow your friends to be there for you, that is what friends are for. You cannot make it through this without the outside world. Don't allow yourself to stay holed up and hidden inside your home. You must get out into the world again. Get a makeover, go on a diet and lose some weight, buy new makeup, start working out or walking. Go shopping and buy yourself some sexy outfits. Do anything to make yourself feel better about yourself and help give you a higher self esteem. It is easier said than done, especially if your partner left you, but you have to remember to live again. There was life before them and there will be a life after them.

You cannot allow yourself to dwell on what was or what could have been. You have to move on and make a new life for yourself. If it is meant to be, your partner will come back to you. If not, you are better off on your own and getting back out into the world and learning how much fun it is to just be you and do your own thing without having to answer to anyone. How many things have you been wanting to do, but couldn't, because you were tied down? Do those things now, get your mind off of everything and try to enjoy yourself.

For some, it helps to write a journal of your feelings each day. As you gain independence and give yourself a higher self esteem, you can look back and laugh at how you felt and the things you had written. It is part of living to go through relationship after relationship until you find the person who was meant for you.

Learn to read inspirational books, seek out a higher power and pray for forgiveness for your sins, cleanse yourself inside and out, and start anew. You will be amazed, as each day passes how much less it hurts. Time heals all wounds. If you were in a two year relationship, give yourself one year to grieve that relationship. Things don't just change overnight, your heart will not let go easily either, but it will happen in time. You need to learn to love yourself again, the more comfortable you are with yourself, the more comfortable and attractive you will be to others. In time, you will learn to love life again. You will appreciate the little things. You will even begin to look for a new partner and a new life. Let love happen, don't force it or try to make it happen overnight.

Remember, no matter who breaks your heart or how long it takes to heal, you will never get through it without your friends and family. Let the tears flow, get them out, get it all out. Remember the good times and the bad. Most importantly, remember that you are a good person. You were good before your relationship and you'll be even better after you get over it and learn to appreciate life and love again.

Go out with your friends, have a good time. Invite your friends and family over for dinner. Just remember to keep love around you at all times. It doesn't have to be the love of a significant other, but the true love you get from friends and family that is never ending. You will be okay, just give it time.
