scouring the internet for your exact relationship predicament and getting lost in threads and articles is the best way to deal a break-up

1. it reminds you why you’re on this path and the light and hope that awaits you on the other side 2. it feels more satisfying than the, “5 tips to get over someone” articles due to the inexhaustible content 3. you could text him.. or you could seek out that dopamine hit you’ll get when you read a random reddit comment from 5 years ago that validates you in just the right ways and renews your strength for just that little bit longer! no depressive crashes here 4. again.. the VALIDATION. there is nothing new under the sun and you will get through this 5. the horror stories will help you appreciate that things aren’t worse than they are <3 6. you’re basically playing therapist and detective, stitching together overarching narratives you may have missed while in the thick of it, psychoanalyzing the reasons for this breakdown, and most importantly realizing just how needful this move was for both parties. it all helps in bringing a sense of peace !!

space, music, journaling, hobbies

for me it has been helpful to frame it as getting through heartbreak rather than over - i’ve felt it is more of a journey rather than having an identifiable threshold or fixed point of being “over” the person. so - these are my main recommendations for things to do to get through the heartbreak: this isn’t true for everyone, but for me and most people i know, one of the worst things for processing is being around the person a bit right after—it‘s like making your emotional process and brain not be on the same page—so space is probably the #1 thing i recommend as being useful to fully processing that you’re not together romantically. music (also films/shows too) can help you feel seen and understood—heartbreak is a unique type of hurt. i have like 3-4 playlists from different heartbreaks i have been thru lol! journaling, to process your emotions solo, though sometimes adding a therapist is needed! hobbies (solo or with friends) so you can find ways to do positive & engaging things in your increased spare time! spend some extra time being in love with yourself. ❤️‍🩹 source: my personal misfortunes, trials, & tribulations in love

Live with heartbreak for a while!

Live with heartbreak for a while. It‘ll be different but the same. You’ll forget why and then remember and feel it all over again. Delete their pictures but keep them in a secret folder on your phone so you can cry by yourself watching their face smile at you. Re-learn old habits you’ve forgotten you even enjoyed because you strayed so far away from who you once were. In some odd way you’ll have to re-learn happiness, too. Well, not so much re-learning it but changing its meaning, find new ways to feel fulfilled, the same way you once felt with them. Make some more lame playlists with oddly specific titles so you at least feel like you’re making something out of all the quiet pain you feel inside. And wonder. A lot of wondering. All the time. Everywhere. In your house. At your job. Inside your body and next to you in the bed you once woke beside them, smiling. And you’ll never forget, but it will get painfully easier.
