Ending a love life is very hard, whether it was
your decision or the other person’s decision. You may be dealing with painful
emotions. There are various ways that you can work through your painful
emotions and start to move on. Keep in your mind that getting over a breakup
takes time and patience. If you think that the things don’t get better with
time, contact to friends, family, or even a mental health professional for
support.
- Keep your distance
Even if
you and your ex have decided to stay friends, break away completely from each
other right after the breakup. This means not seeing each other, not being
around his/her family members, no phone calls, no e-mails, no text messages, no
Facebook, You have to stop talking forever.
- Organize your space
A break up can
signify a new beginning.
Remove all kinds of painful memory that remind
you of your ex––a song, a smell, a sound, a place. Having these items around
can make it harder for you to recover from a breakup. It can work wonders to
clear your space of all these triggers.
- Get out and do things
After a
relationship ends, it is okay to have some time to yourself at home. Just make
sure that you get back out in the world after you have processed your feelings.
Make plans, go out with your friends, and have fun! It might seem awkward at
first, but it will get easier and it will help you to feel better. Getting out
and doing things is also important because you need to grow and maintain your
social network after a breakup. Doing so will help you to move on with your
life.
Go to your favorite coffee shop, go shopping,
or take yourself on a mini-vacation.
- Beware of rebound relationships
Often people enter a new relationship after a
breakup; this type of relationship is called a rebound relationship. Rebounding
is not always a good idea. If that new relationship does not work out, you may
have to deal with the pain of two breakups at once.
- Continue to take care of yourself
It is common for people to put less effort
into self-care after a breakup, but doing so will not help you to feel better.
Make sure that you are seeing to your basic needs for mental, physical, and
spiritual well-being. If you were not taking good care of yourself before the relationship
ended, now is a good time to start.
