Setbacks

It's okay to have setbacks now and then. The trick is to not fall all the way back wards when you have the setback. It's like an alcoholic who's sober and takes a drink. Okay so she takes one drink- the trick is to not go on a bender. Just start counting days again. If you stay away from the person you're trying to get over, you eventually get over them. It's human nature. The brain's memory traces start to erode. That why they say time heals all wounds.

Insanity

Sometimes getting over someone you love, or have deep romantic feelings for is one of the hardest things imaginable. That's why stories about love and loss have existed in literature movies music art throughout civilization.They're universal stories. Everyone can relate. Two movies on my my book recommendation list, Camille Claudell , and The Story of Adele H are true stories and foreign films about women from the 1800s. Both women in different circumstances went insane over the loss of a man. Unfortunately in those days they didnt have self help books, 12 step programs, message boards, antidepressants and psychotherapy as advanced as it is now. Sometimes you have to fight for your sanity which is why it's good not to talk to the person you're trying to let go of if you don't have to.
