Crying Into A Tub Of Ice Cream Is Not The Only Way To Cope
Healing Without Losing Your Mind
So, you have been dumped.
It hurts really bad, and no one else understands how much you loved him/her.
You feel like your world has imploded, and the only thing you want to do is curl up in a ball and cry until there are no more tears.
Like many others, I have been in this situation. However, there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel, and it’s not just the glow from your fridge.

First things last…….I mean first!!!!!
Let yourself feel the pain. It’s okay to be sad, angry, or even a little bit bitter. Don’t try to bottle up your emotions; trust me, a good cry, scream, or throw a pity party, but getting wrecked may be a bad idea, as we all know you will just end up talking about them.
There is nothing quite like a good binge-watching session to distract you from your heartbreak. Find a show that will completely absorb your attention.
A thrilling crime drama, a makeover or a reality show so ridiculous it will make your problems seem insignificant. Just make sure to avoid anything that might trigger your ex-related feelings……..just swipe right on that one!
It’s important to cut off all contact with your ex, at least for a while. Delete their number……..delete….go on—it is good for you. Unfollow them on social media, and avoid places where you might run into them unless you want your heart to bleed continuously.
This might seem harsh, but giving yourself time to heal is necessary.
A new hobby can be a great way to relax and boost self-esteem.
Learn to play an instrument, take up martial arts (not to floor them the next time you see each other, though), or start a garden; find something that brings you joy and fulfilment.
Spend time with friends and family who make you feel good about yourself. Avoid toxic people who will only bring you down.

Do you? It’s A Great Testmedium.com
Indulge in something you love, whether it’s a spa day, a shopping spree, or a delicious meal at your favourite restaurant. Remember, you deserve to be happy, even if you think otherwise.
Heartbreak is brutal, but it’s not the end of the world. Eventually, the pain will fade, and you can move on.
Just keep your chin up and remember: there are plenty of other fish in the sea (or at least plenty of other people who won’t break your heart).
Conclusion
Breaking up is never easy, but it’s important to remember that you are not alone; well, you are, but what I mean is other people are in the same boat.
You can overcome your heartbreak and move on to a brighter future with time and effort. Remember to be patient and surround yourself with positive people.
