Always look on the bright side of life....

I may need some Prozac soon if I don't stop this line of investigation, so this will be the last morose contribution for a while! The graph above shows that the difficulty of getting over some one is proportional to how much you thought s/he was 'the one'. If it was a short fling, then usually it is easy to dust yourself off and get on with the rest of your life. Thanks for the fun times and have a nice life!

However, if you were unfortunate enough that your brain to form an unhealthy chemical dependence on the individual (i.e. fall in love), then the rehabilitation period can easily stretch into years. People in this boat can fall into a depressive state for months and in severe cases even contemplate/commit suicide. Unfortunately, the only cure (apart from possibly a frontal lobotomy) for this ailment is time, maybe a lot of it. Things will improve; you just have to hang in there.

Also, try not to punch anyone who utters an annoying cliché like "There are plenty of fish in the sea", "What's for you won't pass you by" or "Que sera, sera"!
