 First of all stop putting yourself down. It's been a week! I once heard it takes one and a half times the length of the relationship to properly get over it. When I'm feeling down about breaking up with someone I give myself a set amount of time to wallow but I set a date when I refuse to let myself be miserable anymore. Of course this isn't as easy as I make it sound. In fact it can be flipping difficult! The fact is though, when you get to this date if you keep telling yourself you feel happy etc then you will start to feel happy but it's important to get the grieving stage out of the way first. I know it seems impossible right now but you will get through the pain. We've all been where you are and we all bounce back eventually!

 First thing you should know is...WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE and IT HURTS LIKE HELL. There's no magic number as to when you'll be over him. It just takes time and alot of soul searching. The thing you have to remember is "You don't want to be with someone that doesn't want to be with you". That only means there is someone else out there more compatible for you...and trust me THERE IS! You need to empower yourself as the beautiful woman you are and remember always like yourself through this....you are your own best friend. Go to the gym, read some self help books, make new friends.....
You'll be okay....!!!

 I'm sorry to hear you and your ex broke up but hey you'll probably break up with a few more before you find the right one. Here is a site you might find useful.

I find the best thing to do is to keep as busy as possible and spend time with your friends. Be very selfish and do things you really want to do!. In time you will feel better. I know it's hard, but you're very young and you will find someone better in time. Just focus on enjoying yourself and you will find yourself thinking less and less about him before long. Good luck.
