Yea I'm not crazy

Ok yes I am....BUT in a good way

I think it is very hurtful to just say 'get over it' - I have had many say that to me lately - I feel like I am carrying some horrible disease that they don't want to be contaminated with...

It's like ooooohh stay away from me you might just give me some of you sadness or negativity ......... they use that phrase - 'get over it' - to shut you down or shut you out - whatever just because they don't want to get involved.

The last one who told me to 'suck it up' was my daughter. Well, OK - I do understand that other ppl are not responsible for my grief and chit but hey some sort of compassion would be nice.

"Get over it" - a phrase I really can�t stand. For me it was just a sign others are annoyed or just don�t care. If you were shot, they would also say: "get over it"? How is it that many people cannot understand that emotional wounds are just as serious as physical, many times much more dangerous in its consequences? Physical wounds heal and you don�t even remember them, but wounds on the soul can define the rest of your life.

If you invested your time, your heart, yourself in some relationship you can�t just "get over it". Or you can, but that shows you didn�t really had feelings for that person.

There is nothing wrong in it to feel grief, pain and disappointment after the end of relationship. And it is alright to take for healing as much time as you need. Sometimes it will be weeks, sometimes months and sometimes years...

But it is okay to feel it, go through it, without trying to satisfy those who just cannot wear your shoes. It�s your life, your feelings, your wound. Take your time and cherish yourself.

Luckily it has only been acquaintances that have said that to me. My friends and family try to cheer me up or distract me but they are there for me

A friend of my niece (she calls me aunt too) is going through a very tough break up and saw people say that to her. Me being me spoke up. I don't want people to feel their feelings aren't valid or the aren't strong for not getting over it or they are a drama queen or something

It is never easy or simple to get over someone you cared deeply about! I have chosen to wish them the best despite the fact that it may hurt me to do so! Let them go, do your mourning after them but move on as you must. They moved on so you must also, and the sooner the better! I'm still friends with my ex's as I feel it is the only way to avoid bitterness I wish them well as they do me! The alternative seems to me to be an exercise in futility! Move forward and live your future life with optimism!

Exactly.

It takes me awhile. I like to step back and regroup, get my mind right and get back on track but sometimes its easier said then done.
