How does one get over a breakup? I have very little experience will take any ideas

1. Don’t try to get revenge, it may feel good in the moment but it’s really useless and is only prolonging your healing. Similarly, don’t try to date anyone else until you’re over this breakup, or it will only hurt you more 2. Give yourself a time limit to wallow. Set a number of days to cry, look at their social media, listen to sad music, etc. then once you hit the deadline try your absolute hardest to not do that anymore 3. Take care of yourself. Spend more time with your friends and family. Get a good nights rest. Get out of the house and go fun places. Take up a new hobby, eat good food, buy yourself something nice 4. Give it time. I promise it will get easier
Thank you guys!
It sounds so stereotypical but give yourself time. I wouldn’t advise rushing into anything to make yourself feel better immediately. It’s good to sit with the hurt for a bit, it can teach you more about yourself.
Thank you this permission to be sad helps so much
Whatever feeling appears just let it be there! During my divorce I had a habit of trying to ignore every negative feeling. Don’t. You are grieving and need to feel EVERYTHING your body needs to release
That is so helpful thank you! I feel like im indulging in grief and its "wrong" somehow but I just wanna feel sad for a while!
@julianofnorwich It feels wrong because your mind takes negative feelings and makes it believe it means danger. In a way, our minds are trying to protect us. Feel everything and know it’s okay to feel grief because you ARE grieving. Feel sad for as long as you need. I’ve been there with my divorce and let me tell you it always felt “wrong” but it was what I needed.
I think for me personally , taking time for myself . I think living life on my terms and getting my power back has been the way that I got over my exes . Not like thoughts don’t come to me anymore . It’s just that I have filled my life with things to do and achieve that, I don’t have time for it . Also time truly heals . Another thing that helped me was to not force myself to go out and meet men . I believe that didn’t work for me in the past when I was in this sense of urgency. I am slowly letting things just flow rather than forcing anything which lets me heal
Thank you!
For me, I always end up going back and trying to talk to them to get more and more closure. I believe that talking to my exes will help things but it never does. It always makes things worse. If you have something you feel you need to say to them write it down and that might get you into a state of just talking about what you wish you could say to them it might help you come to some really powerful realizations about why they shouldn’t be in your life
Feel it all. The grief, the anger, the sadness. Take it all in. Experiencing your emotions will make you feel chaotic for a while but then it will calm you down. You will be in peace.
