get over

Leave behind emotionally

To get over something is to recover from it—an illness, a breakup, a disappointment: It took me months to get over the flu, She never really got over him.

The phrase can also mean to surmount an obstacle: We'll get over this hurdle.

As a dismissive command, get over it tells someone to stop dwelling on something and move on.
