    The pain will ease eventually - I promise you that. I know how difficult break ups are but of course I can't completely imagine how you're feeling. I do know that it's like a form of grieving, not having the one you're in love with anymore.

    You need to allow yourself to feel whatever you feel because that's okay. Whether that's crying, shouting, emptiness - anything. They're all feelings you need to let happen because that's the only real way you can eventually begin to move on from this raw pain.

    Also, as hard as it might be, please do try and push yourself to spend some time with family or friends because it does help in that moment even if that seems impossible.

    Im sorry this has happened and that you're hurting so much. Huge hug *hug* we're here for you.

    Three friends is plenty if they are good friends. Go call them and meet up. It helps with getting over your ex. Go and be more careful in who you chose to be your boyfriend in the future. If everyone always cheats on you, then you go after horrible people. Go for people who are caring and sensitive not just hot or "bad boys" or whatever you go for.

    its by the same person I was cheated

    So did you know he cheated and then forgave him just to realize he did not stop? Maybe you can take away from this experience then that you should not be so forgiving to people betraying you. Getting cheated on is horrible, this is why most people (I would presume) have a one-strike policy. I.e. there is no forgiving and no mercy for a cheater.

    Sorry this happened to you and best of luck getting back on your feet. Just keep in mind that there is nothing wrong with being single. It is better to be on one's own, then with someone who takes away from your life, instead of contributing to it.

    Hey sian,

    I'm really sorry to here what you're going through - coping with being cheated on isn't easy and it can leave you feeling really worthless. These feelings will pass though, do hold on to that fact. Unfortunately it does take time and a lot of heart ache but it does pass.

    It also sounds like other areas of your life are tough right now - sometimes when we're struggling it's easier if other parts of our life are okay but when lots of things come at once it can feel really overwhelming as it all piles up and it can feel like the world is against you.

    You mention being worried about a place to stay - I'm not sure where you're based but it's worth googling Nightstop to see if they have a program near you - they offer young people a place to stay and will help you to get back on your feet. The Shelter website has some info on these, including a link to search for local support services: http://england.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/homelessness/emergency_accommodation_if_homeless/nightstop_schemes

    You say your friends are busy with their own lives and you don't want to bother them - I wonder if one of them was struggling like you are would you want to know? If they are good friends then they will want to be the for you and reaching out to them takes courage but it's what friends do. Perhaps just having some plans in to see them soon too will help to give you something to look forward to?

    Let us know how you're doing *hug*

    You're going through a really difficult time - honestly, the way you're feeling is to be expected but it won't last forever. When I broke up with my ex, I felt absolutely horrendous for days. I couldn't keep up with myself. Some days I just wanted to stay in bed and cry, other days I was angry and wanted to shout at people. It is extremely difficult but honestly, you will get through this. I always thought I'd never, ever love anyone again or have that trust with anyone else but that got proved wrong.

    I know you feel so horrible right now and that's okay, you're allowed to struggle. As Jo says though, it will pass. Please do lean on us if you need and/or want to. I know when I went through my break up, TheSite community helped me a huge amount. I can recognise how much you clearly are trying too, so well done you, because that can be hard in itself. You're clearly very brave. Hold onto that hidden strength *hug*

    I h8 being on my own I feel alone all the time I all ways feel alone but I guess I get over it will have to wont i

    The only thing I can say to this, is that it's WAY more important to get over the fact that you constantly need someone in your life. Don't try the shortcut of squashing these feelings by filling your void with the next best person. Why? because if you accept simply ANYONE in your life, it is usually the worst people that come and the cycle will continue. Having friends, and being a stable and content human being while single is in my opinion the very basis you need for having a successful relationship. Never try to find happiness in another person. Happiness always comes from within. If you hate yourself and hate being alone you build up a dependency in a relationship that will always strain and destroy it eventually.

    I don't know you so it would be unfair for me to make any type of comment on the way you look, but what's clear from some of the things you've said here is that you have a lot of beauty inside - you're obviously really kind, loving, forgiving and caring. Honestly, that's the most important thing - that's what people look for. If someone recognises that inner beauty and respects you, then they'll think you're the most beautiful person in the world to them - whether you agree or not.

    Having said that, the most important thing for you to do right now is focus on getting through this difficult patch of your life and letting yourself feel whatever emotion you feel. The future isn't now so just try and take each day at a time *hug*

    Hi Sian, how are you feeling today? I know it's horrible going through a breakup. And I know being told it will feel easier doesn't always feel realistic when you're going through it. From my own experience, it does get better, and you can learn something about in the process, but it can take a while. I think treating yourself kindly and patiently while you work through this is important. It's OK to feel what you're feeling, and it's understandable that you feel like you're missing something important in your life. I know it's not the same, but it can be really helpful to think about what else is important to you. Are there other things in your life that you could focus on more - friends, volunteering, something you wanted to learn, or do for fun?

    I also just wanted to say that different guys like different girls. While the media often suggests that only one female body type is attractive, in reality we have lots of different tastes and preferences.
