How to survive a breakup?

How do I get through this period, and keep my head held high? I was the one who ended it, but my mind is full of thoughts—maybe things will change, maybe he will realize something… But deep down, I know it’s time to let go.

Please, share as many tips as you can for the sad months ahead. Thank you.

i think focusing on your own self growth is the best part of being single. When youre in a relationship you have to always think about your bf/gf, but when youre single you can work on yourself.

my advice is to focus on yourself and do a glow up :smiley:

No point going over the “what might have beens” - your just gonna do your own nut in. Take it from someone thats been married twice.

Be very choosey who you want for your next partner and take it slow. You want someone who wants similar things in life to you

I believe you don’t need to force yourself to keep your head up.

It’s ok to mourn and be down for a while. Psychological help can be handy as well. Talk about it with your closest ones.

Disclaimer: this is what worked for me after a bad breakup, and I’m just sharing tips I learned throughout my many breakups.

  1. Realize it will take time to heal.
  2. There’s a ton of videos on YouTube about dealing with breakups that helped me with my last break up that I took very hard.
  3. Reach out to any supportive loved ones and talk about it.
  4. Don’t down play your grief. Allow yourself to feel what you feel.
  5. Don’t jump into another relationship. Rebound relationships hardly work out and I regret getting into a relationship so soon after a breakup.
  6. This one could be hit or miss, but I wrote a list of everything wrong with the relationship and would read it anytime my mind went to missing them.
  7. The biggest tip is to be kind to yourself and realize that you deserve better than how your ex treated you.

Went through something similar a month or so back, I tried to keep myself as busy as possible and focused on finding people to talk to online (nothing permanent came about) - it kept me from thinking about her though so it was a success.

Utilise the forum as much as you can, I did that too
