I have tried hating her to forget about her but I just can't help being in love with her. Now we haven't talked in over a year but my love for her is stronger now than ever before. This is the worst feeling in the world.

The opposite of love isn't hate, hate is still a passionate, involved feeling. Indifference is what you should strive for. You need to move on, find other things to occupy your time. Make new friends, casually date some people. Don't romanticize her, she's not perfect for you because the perfect person for you would feel the same way you do. It is easy to create an idealized version of someone in our heads when we are not actually able to be with them. Have you gone to therapy? You mention your love is stronger now than it was before and you haven't talked in a year, this makes me think it doesn't have as much to do with her as you think it does.
