Advice For Surviving A Breakup After A Relationship Ends

Do you need some help with surviving a breakup?

If a long relationship comes to an end, it’s hard to get through the first few emotionally charged days and weeks, especially if you weren’t the one who made the decision to break up.

You are in so much pain you feel that you’ll never recover from it, and life looks like a long, dark tunnel with no light at the end of it. This is when you have to realize that you need to move on and let it go. Don’t sit by the phone waiting for your ex to call – it’s not going to happen. Remember that just about everyone on the planet has gone through a painful breakup at some time and managed to survive.

Surviving a breakup can be hard. There’s no getting away from the fact. If you were the one who was dumped, you are probably suffering from feelings of inadequacy, and your self confidence has taken a severe battering. You’re sitting at home crying and wondering what you did wrong. You most likely didn’t do anything wrong – the relationship was just wrong for you. Let it go.

Call your best friends and invite them over to complain about the opposite sex over a bottle of wine or a few beers, and to help you remove all reminders of your ex from your home. Trash those photos and get rid of the CDs. Make sure you pack up any possessions carefully so that they can be returned at a future date – if you do this, you are acting with dignity and control, even though you want to smash everything up or toss it out of the window!

A huge step to surviving a breakup is when you stop emailing, texting and calling your ex. Try to concentrate on yourself, on your circle of friends, and on your career. Don’t wallow in self-pity – other people have gone through this and survived to move on to better relationships and they will soon get tired of hearing the sad tale of your breakup.
