you just need to not see her. and not wallow. and not listen to music connected to her or any of that kind of stuff. for a little while. you need to divert yourself by going out, spending time with other people. not to pick up other girls necessarily, just to remind yourself that you don't need her, if that makes sense. it's actually this simple: don't see her, and divert yourself whenever you start thinking about her.

then one day you won't think about her anymore.

and poof. you're all better.
I probably wouldn't have said it if maturity hadn't been mentioned in the previous post. I get what you're saying though. Like I said, I'm keeping busy now. A 5000 word essay on "The Effectiveness of the Current Treatments of Depression" can do that. Amongst university applications and other things.
