So the relationship you thought would last forever has ended. Maybe it was your choice, or maybe not. Either way, it hurts, and you’re left wondering on how on earth you’ll be able to get over this.
Allow yourself time to grieve. Ending a relationship, whether it was your choice or not, is just the same as losing someone. You need time to get over it, time to mourn the relationship just as you would if someone you loved has died. You’re going to feel sad, maybe even depressed, so allow yourself to have those feelings. Don’t jump into a new relationship or take on any big projects just yet. You may want the distraction, but it’s important for your long-term mental health to feel your feelings now.
Do something that makes you feel good, but make sure that something is healthy. Don’t try to drown your sorrows in alcohol or drugs because they’ll only make you feel worse. Exercise is great for getting over a relationship; you get your endorphins flowing, which gives you a natural high, and you get a nicely toned body in the process ha.
Get a little help from your friends. When you’re getting over a relationship, your support system is more important than ever.
And remember you did have a life before she came along !
