How do you deal with a loss?

Like a loss of a relationship?

I personally find it extremely hard to let go, and move
on...

i haven't lost enough to know how to deal w/ it
sorry..

but i have noticed that others try to run out and replace
lost friends w/ new ones really quickly... even if they
normally wouldn't like the new friends that much.. they just
need to latch on to someone
anyways, that doesn't seem to work, so watch out for that, i
guess

but again, this is just from watching others

First you need to learn to aleniate the situation, to find
any single detail that would illuminate only the good things
that you did, to expand your ego over the the memory of the
other person and to realise that you are superior.

Once you do that, you will live in the imaginative world
that would put you bac on your feet. After that, you need
to get back to reality, call yourself a moron, jerk etc.
So when you realise what you did, try making certain
generalisation and keep it in a memory. When the next
person comes, that is, IF the next person comes, you will
know that you will not make the same mistake, unless there
is that high-pitch sound and canadian low-frequency noise
that allarms who and where died or what happened (like death
to queen's mother) thus controlls the whole population and
does the social reconstruction.

However, if your loss of relationship/s raises the economy,
YOU ARE SCREWED TOTALLY!

OK I was just kidding, I like purple and a couple of
thousand of dead people that go with it. So, here is what
always brings some light whenever I feel down.

I actually just got out of a releationship recently. I
didn't take it well - I have a really hard time with
rejection. I feel the usual worthless, self-destructive,
hate filled depression for a while. Usually though, when i
surround myeslf w/ my friends, i feel better. Lately i've
realized that if someone wanted to get rid of you for no
good reason, there's no reason to feel sorry for yourself.
Fuck them....etc.

Also, If you keep busy w/ work and stuff, it's easier not to
think about the bad stuff.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

well, when i have problems, not touchy-touchy relationship
problems.... but other relationship problems..

its always better to deal with it directly... think about
it, deal with it: dont try to ignore it

i took a recent breakup rather badly at first. prolly coz i
didnt share my pain with anyone else which made that
loneliness feeling worse. but yeah...like xlr said being
with mates helps ya cope. same with beer and dope and hiphop
to remind ya that yer a filthy crude male

dig a deeper and ever expanding hole to bury your head in.

I mean, when it comes down to it, you block out a lot of
shit, and you see that you need to be yourself and sometimes
just do what works for you.

So a cave works from time to time, not always and not often,
but sometimes you gotta.

I DON'T deal with loss, I let it sit in my brain and slowly
destroy me.

just pretend it didn't happen.

have a long conversation with yourself to convince yourself
that everything is the same. if anything or anyone tries to
remind you of the loss, destroy that thing/person then
convince yourself that that thing/person still exists with
further introspective dialogue. create sock puppets of the
object of loss and have outings together to places you used
to go regularly. buy gifts for the sock puppet then demand
gifts in return. buy yourself gifts and label them "from
*sockpuppet's name here*."
alienate everyone close to you and replace them all with
carnival prizes and brightly colored rocks which you carry
around with you in a red nike gym bag.
wear artificial facial hair and dark sunglasses and speak
with a different accent. begin posting messages on esoteric
music site message boards. Make believe you have a whole
community of friends that know and love you and send them
pictures of your gym bag.

i seem to listen to depressing music alot, and that never
helps. drugs too, but that doesn't help either. i usually
make things harder than they are. i know what you're going
through, some times i try to pretend i don't care, but i
know i do.

tell urself lots of crap jokes, and laugh ur head off at
them! Laugh at all ur mistakes, laugh at urself, laugh at
everything, but dont offend anyone... laughing is good!

At the moment you are concentrating on what you had. My
advise is to try and think of the negative things and avoid
things that you did as a couple. Hate is good
