    Neither, really. "Get over it" is the phrasing you need.

    If you use "get it over", I'm expecting an obstacle or destination, eg. "get it over the fence". As if its something you're pushing or throwing.

    "Get over the problem" has the correct word order, but you're repeating yourself.

    Hello Matthew. How are you?

    We usually write it this way, and say it this way also in conversation:

    "I hope I can get over it" Or, if it is an unpleasant thing that is about to happen;
    "I hope can get it over with."
