Relationship break-ups are the pits! I've had my fair share and had at the worse at 24 and I always tell myself this "If I didn't die then, I will live forever." Lol
It was one of the lowest, most horrible point in my life and I'm glad it's over. I've also had a few other not so serious heartbreaks, and each time here is how I got over it:
1. Cry
Yeah, cry it out. A heartbreak is just like a physical would and it will cause you pain. So if you feel like crying, let the tears out.
Contrary to a lot of opinions of that crying makes you appear weak, it actually takes a strong person to tune in to their emotions and cry when the need arises.
Let out all that pent-up emotion and sadness you feel inside and you will feel a bit better afterwards.
However, while crying might be thereupetic, you should give yourself a fixed time to mourn that the passing of that relationship. You don't want to spend several weeks crying while life passes you by.
You alone know how much time you'd need, be it a week or a month. But at the end of it, dust yourself up and move on to phase two.
2. Go On a Purge
Okay, you've gotten some of your emotional stability and strength back, syou should go commando and carry out a complete purge. Here you should do away with every letter, picture, or connection that links you to OR reminds you of your ex. This also includes social media connections. You should block them on all platform if the existing connection makes you relapse.
Now while, this might seem extreme, it'll probably be temporary and only so you can completely heal.
3. Give Yourself Some Alone Time
Healing takes a while and it happens one day at a time. During this time, one of the worse things you can do is jump right into another relationship. While this might seem tempting at the moment, most rebound relationships don't survive the weight of the baggage brought in.
4. Go Out with Friends
Your friends should have your back at this time in your life and would likely love to be there for you. Hang out with them when they suggest and just concentrate on getting the fun gradually back into your life.
5. Date Again!
They say "one bad apple doesn't spoil the whole lot". The fact you were hurt once doesn't mean it will happen the next time.
You just might be lucky to meet that amazing guy or girl that would rock your world and make you wonder where they've been all your life.
Lovely piece
