The best way to get over any relationship, especially those that last for as long as a year or more, is time. I know that sounds like a crappy answer but it is true. Also, it is important to remember that you are a complete, awesome individual with or without a boyfriend/girlfriend. Any romantic person you let into your life should only add to your happiness, not take away from it, nor should they be what gives your life meaning or purpose. A significant other does not define you and one of the best ways to help heal after a break up is to engage with the other parts of your life: your friends, your family, school/work, and any hobbies you have that you enjoy. Commit time to being and exploring who you are as a person, all the things that make you your awesome self. I had a hard time getting over my first boyfriend (we dated for a year and a half) but things that helped were my friends and family. I was also heavily involved in rowing at the time and after the break up I spent some of the extra time I had (now that I wasn't hanging out with my boyfriend) working out more and just volunteering to help the team/my coach out in my spare time. Having activities that I loved to do and people I enjoyed spending time with that weren't in any way connected back to my boyfriend helped tremendously. I know it might not feel like it will ever get better but it does and I hope it does soon for you. :]
