Afterwards and even now I can't help crying. Anyone here has experienced the same thing deleting your pictures? Please help me get out of this phase

 It was very hard for you to do but it was necessary as it part of the healing process that you are still going through.I hope you gain strength from this day on and continue to move on with your life to happier times.

 I know breakups are hard, but you're doing the right thing by deleting her pictures. By having items that remind you of her around,will only put you on another emotional roller coaster. In addition to getting rid of "the past" you may also want to do the following:1. Talk to a close friend or therapist/counsel. Speak to someone positive that can help you get your mind back on track and help give you their views on how you could bounce back from the breakup. 2. Do something that you enjoy. Sometimes we need a little distraction. Do something fun, treat yourself out for the day, work on feeling happy again. Hope this helps!

 i think from what your saying, your still not fully over her and this is why it hurt so much to get rid of the pictures.you did a good thing though by getting rid of them, with you no longer looking at them it wont bring up as many memories or make you miss her so much.there is obviously no getting back together for you two since it has been 8 months, i think from here on you take the big steps and go out with friends, socialise more and take up interesting things to do, and hopefully you will be happier and realise you are not meant to be, and there is somebody out there for you.

 Yes - been there and done that a few times over the years.What you have done is bravely taken that first step to moving forward. Yes, it is hard and it's sickening to delete or destroy pictures that you've treasured all this time, but the fact is this is your minds way of saying its time to move on.I've got photos boxed away of some of my ex's in happier times and it's taken me years to get to the stage where I can now look at them without feeling any emotion or sadness.So, think of this as a positive thing you have done and you have proved to yourself that you are now ready to let go and move on. Stay strong!Hope this helps.
