13 Ways to Cope with Loving Someone You Can’t Have nor Let Go

5 Write down how you feel in a journal or diary

You want to scream from the rooftops how much you love this person. It’s too bad that it’s not always the best choice or even a choice. The best thing you can do to deal with how you feel about this person is to write about it in a journal. Write down everything you’re feeling; it will help you feel much better. It’s hard to deal with love that isn’t returned, but little things like this can help.

6 Work up the courage to tell them how you feel

If you haven’t told this person you love them yet, it might be time to rip off the Band-Aid and tell them everything and see what they say. It’s better to talk about things than to walk around with all the questions unanswered. Maybe they love you too. It’s torture to love someone but not know how they feel. No matter what happens, things need to be said. Get ready for a total meltdown if things don’t go how you want them to. Once that line is crossed, it’s hard to go back.

7 Take time to feel sorry for yourself

It’s okay to be upset if you really like someone, but they don’t feel the same way. Give yourself a certain amount of time to feel bad about it. It’s better to give your feelings a time limit than to be sad all day. You could give yourself 30 minutes a day to feel sorry for yourself. Bring out all your crying, yelling, and feeling sorry for yourself. Then, when the time is up, go on with your day.

8 Have fun with friends

Being in love with someone you can’t be with is torture, but you can make yourself feel better by having fun with your friends. Get close to people who care about you and love you. Go out, have a few drinks, go to a concert, and enjoy life to the fullest. There’s nothing that says you have to stop living just because your heart is broken.
