		<description>You&#039;re doing exactly the right thing... &amp; emotions coming up? That&#039;s a good thing. Perfect time to tap them, while they&#039;re strong - that&#039;ll help you heal the fastest.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You&#039;re doing great.. &amp; little bit little, things will get better.. then one day you&#039;ll wake up, feel great, &amp; wonder what all the fuss was about.</description>

		<description>thanks agian for your insight. i do continue tapping and try to block things out. i have outburts of tears sometimes that seem very hard to control and then i have moments where i feel great and i feel as if i&#039;m moving forward. it&#039;s a constant emotional roller coaster each day but i know &quot;this too shall pass&quot;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i do hope there is someone better because he seemed to be perfect to me, everything i wanted.  i am not going to focus on finding someone else jsut yet, i know i need to focus on myself more than anything now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;thanks again.</description>

		<description>Having to see him every day sucks, no question.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One thing that&#039;s often helped me is just to remember - &lt;i&gt;&quot;There is always someone better out there&quot;&lt;/i&gt;. Why? Because the person you are now is not the person you were when you met. So there will ALWAYS be someone better suited to who you are now, the person you&#039;ve become. Just reminding myself of that, every day, has helped me a lot in the past.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh, &amp; the tapping stuff? It will permanently clear things, it&#039;s just that right now there&#039;s so MUCH of it that it may not feel like that&#039;s the case. It is, just keep persisting.</description>

<p>One thing that's often helped me is just to remember — <i>"There is always someone better out there"</i>. Why? Because the person you are now is not the person you were when you met. So there will ALWAYS be someone better suited to who you are now, the person you've become. Just reminding myself of that, every day, has helped me a lot in the past.</p>

		<description>it feels as if a part of me doesn&#039;t want to let go and i&#039;m not sure why. i know deep down things will eventually get better, but knowing my track record with getting over anything, i&#039;m scared it will take a long time, especially since i have to see him and hear him everyday. i try to shut out the negative part of me, the ego that wants me to suffer and feel the pain of the past that&#039;ll never be again but it&#039;s hard. i tap and it feels ok for a few minutes but it feels as if i&#039;m only delaying my thoughts from resurfacing to remind me of what i&#039;ll never have again. it hurts because we were so close and know it&#039;s like we are complete strangers that never even knew each other and he barely awknowledges my existence. more and more i start questioning the point of this all, the point of all these experiences in life, good and bad. i just feel very lost in this world now and scared that i&#039;m destined to be alone. thanks for the advice.</description>

		<description>Ahh, man, that sucks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A lot of times in breakups, yep, the reasons why don&#039;t become clear until much, MUCH later (if at all).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The short answer as to why you think depressing things, or think you should be depressed is that it&#039;s your ego. Your ego loves struggle, pain, misery. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The good news is, you&#039;re bigger than your ego. You&#039;re in control (even if it doesn&#039;t always feel like it).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My suggestions re tapping (or any healing) would be simply to tap out, as specifically as possible, anything that is in your head, anything that feels bad. If you&#039;re just feeling generally down, then simply tapping without saying anything will often help lift your spirits.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for letting go? You&#039;ve just gotta make the decision. Once you decide to let go, of the pain, of the misery, of the memories, of everything, well, everything will get a LOT easier. Sure, it&#039;s still work, &amp; it&#039;s still gonna hurt for a while, but you WILL feel better. The more you heal, the better you&#039;ll feel &amp; sooner. &amp; pretty soon? You&#039;ll forget all about it. You&#039;ll have vague memories of being upset, but all the detail will be lost in the past, &amp; you&#039;ll be back feeling your normal great self again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yes, it&#039;s damn hard to believe this, while you&#039;re feeling that pain, but things DO get better, will get better. Just keep breathing, go easy on yourself, be kind to yourself. It all helps.</description>

		<description>My boyfriend of a year recently broke up with me for reasons i still cannot understand. i gave up trying to find the answer knowing that i will never know the real reasons and maybe i shouldn&#039;t. everyday is like an emotional roller coaster. one day i&#039;m up and feel great feel like i&#039;m moving on and letting go and then the next day, my negative part of me makes me relive the past and depress myself as if i&#039;m supposed to be depressed and it seems so hard to let go. i work with him so it&#039;s difficult going to work each day but i try to ignore as he ignores me. i read all the books and it has helped but some days it doesn&#039;t feel as if it gets any easier. i am going to try tapping more often but even then i don&#039;t really know what it is im supposed to be doing or thinking and i just want to know why i have this internal battle inside. why do i make myself think things that depress me and make myself think that i should be depressed?</description>

		<description>Ok, read it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You&#039;re right, a ton of good information in there. My favourite quote?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Ok, here&#039;s a game we can play. How about pretending you&#039;re not completely crazy?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ahh, that cracks me the hell up!</description>

		<description>Thanks for the tip! I saw it in a bookshop just the other day. Saw the title and laughed to myself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well, yes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hard to disagree with that. I did have a flick through it, but I&#039;ll go have a deeper look today (nice day for a walk).. thanks again!</description>

		<description>Hi, a tip for you on the breakup. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Read this book &quot;It&#039;s called a breakup because it&#039;s broken.&quot; It was recommended by my consoler. (Yes, my breakup WAS bad.) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It helped me tremendously. Now I&#039;m as good as new. :-)</description>

		<description>You&#039;re very welcome. EFT is pretty awesome, it&#039;s definitely improved the hell out of my life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for juice feasting, yeah, I found that ridiculously tough, even with tapping. Still, if &amp; when it&#039;s right, you&#039;ll feel drawn to do it. No rush.</description>
