Time to Move On

[PyroChamber]

How long would you say it takes for you to truly get over something? Like a break-up, the death of someone you know, losing a job, things like that.

Depends.

Been 8 months and I haven't gotten over a girl. Prolly coz I see her everyday.

I was beat with a meat tenderizer and got my phone stolen, I was over that as soon as I got home after 8 or so hours of getting stitches/police station nonsense and passed out.

Gotta love inconsistency.

There has to be a story behind the initial post. People don't normally post these types of threads without a reason, so out with it.

I'm gonna take a guess and say that he's broke up with his girl because that's the first thing he mentioned. He also made a thread about socializing with co-workers yesterday... maybe thinking about going out into the big world to party after said break-up.

Actually it has nothing to do with me, I was just asking.

C'mon Pyro, help us help you

I think the worst is the first break up and moving on from that. Many people have allowed that break up to sour them preventing them from moving on and in some cases allowing it to sabotage current and future relationships.

But there should come a time even if it's too late that you realize what you are doing and make attempts to fix it.

it depends on how proactive you are as a person.

you just have to keep yourselve busy and fight through it but before you can move up you have to come to terms with it all and learn from your mistakes

if it is a death, you have to make sure it wasn't in vain and you take on board the lessons the person taught you and instill it into your being and grow

it's all about being able to grow from things and not let them get to you.

It's different for everyone IMO. One person could get over a break up in one day, another person could never get over a break up.

If we're talking breakups... it all depends on the people and situation.

Some are very difficult and some can be rather easy to get over. Some breakups have caused long difficult times for me, and one break up was rather easy and was over with the same day.

Those things are all different and vary highly depending on the situation.

Break-up? How ever long it takes me to get drunk and get in the sack with a somewhat less attractive friend.

Death? Surprise death... maybe many weeks. Expected death... maybe many hours.

Losing a job? Until I find a new one.

Usually I think I get over rough times pretty quickly.

Well, I guess that would depend upon the amount of connection you have with said individual.

Wholeheartedly agree with this comment. One of my squad mates was killed in Iraq in 2006; it was traumatic but within days or weeks everyone was back to "relative" normalcy. We think about him and honor his memory but we moved on; I'm sure it's different for his immediate family.

My father passed away from cancer in '05 and my mother still isn't over it...so time frames vary as G2K said.

I lost my dad 6 years ago. I don't believe we ever truly get over it; we simply learn to incorporate it into our lives. In other words, it'll always be there, you just get used to it, learn to live with it.
