No contact.
Stay busy.
Work out.
Time.
Socialise with different/new people.
You need to realise its not, breakups are something that happen to everyone. Its a grim kind of comfort but you arent the first guy in the world its happened to and you wont be the last.
I was kind of lucky because when I broke up with my last ex two of my friends were having awful break ups as well and were getting kind of obsessed by it. That kind of acted as a stabilizing influence for me because I could learn from their mistakes and aspire not to be as bogged down in it as they were.
This needs to be stickied as it gets posted that much. But yeah, standard advice here. Go out, meet new people/go out with friends and for the love of God, try to stay away from her as much as possible.
And remember one thing, to get over her, you have to REALLY want it. No half assed attempt will cut it. I don't know how long you two went out but usually the longer you were together, the longer it will take to move on. But you will as long as you make the effort.
Read lots and lots of books.
Meet more people.
Watch lots of movies.
Exercise.
School work.
Get a brand new, fantastic, amazing, adorable, AND RAD....phone buddy
I just recently ended a five year relationship. Or, that relationship was ended on me, right at the crux of a friend's death as well. It was a really rough time, but the above is the truest so far.
The greatest thing about committing yourself to moving on and becoming a new person is that you'll start finding that that new person is incredibly liberated. You'll start being attracted to people that you may not have been attracted to before, and maybe you'll find yourself with a new person that you weren't even aware you could be with. At least in my case, I've ended up with a much healthier relationship with a much prettier and amazing girl.
Keep your head up and keep yourself optomistic.
