Everyone experiences it at some point in their lives. Love sickness. Not exactly the best period of your life, but you will get over it. Even though this can drag on for a long time. To shorten this process, I have written down some tips for heartbreak. Good luck!! Don’t forget to post a comment with any questions and/or comments.
What is heartbreak?
Heartbreak is the pain you feel after a break in your relationship. You can experience heartbreak by being dumped or rejected or even if you put an end to your relationship yourself, this can be present. Whatever the cause, heartbreak hurts and can last several weeks or even years. But everyone will (sooner or later) get over it.
What are the symptoms of heartbreak?
You are very sad and feel extremely depressed. You feel like you will never get over it and you constantly think about the person in question. You also hope that things will work out one day, even though somewhere in the back of your mind you realize that this will never happen, and that hurts. A lot of pain. You feel lonely and miserable.
How should you deal with heartbreak?
1. Let go of the idea that he/she is the one
Never say or think: I will never find anyone like him/her again. That is not true! This is just the typical loss for the person and the beautiful moments you experienced together. But rest assured that you will experience those same moments with someone else one day. Even if you don’t think anyone will have as much fun with you as you did then.
2. Talking works wonders
Talk! Talk to everyone around you about him/her and try to do that with as many people as possible! I’m sure most people are willing to listen to you and give you the right advice. The more you talk about it, the better you will feel over time.
3. Avoid contact with him/her
Even though you miss him/her more and more every day, avoid contact. Even if you both decided to remain friends. Just wait until you are 100% over your heartbreak. Only then is it really recommended to make contact again. If you want to hang out with him/her too much in the beginning, it may not be much fun for him/her. He/she will find it annoying and there is a chance that the friendship will also become cloudy over time. And then you are even further away from home. Let him/her recover, leave him/her alone for a while. Maybe she/he realizes that he/she misses you.
4. Time heals all wounds
It takes time to get over your heartbreak! Once you have sorted everything out and put your memories in order, it is time to move on.
5. Social contact
Spend a lot of time with your best friends. Go to the cinema or play a game of tennis. In short, just do everything you can to forget about the person in question. Over time you will realize that you can have a good time without him/her and maybe you will realize that you don’t actually need him/her to be happy!
How not to deal with heartbreak?
1. No self-pity
Don’t hang your head! In the end you are always better off without him or her! If something went wrong, it is no coincidence! Don’t think that if you had done this or that your relationship would continue. That is not true! What ever needs to happen will happen. So do everything you can to forget him/her as quickly as possible.
2. Don’t start a new relationship
Don’t rush into a new relationship just to forget about him/her or your heartbreak. You will eventually realize that he/she is not the one either and you will most likely have to hurt this person as much as you have been hurt yourself. Only when you are completely over your breakup will you be ready to move on with your love life.
