Here are some tips on how you can cope with your break-up:
- Think but don’t obsess over what went wrong. It’s great to take
notes from your past. Don’t fight your feelings. Let them ooze out. It
can be hard to stop thinking about it, but try to think about other
things as much as you can. Remember that your end goal is to move on.
- Meet with friends and share your feelings. There’s no
better cure to a broken heart than sharing your feelings with good
friends. You can meet for an evening beer or wine and pour your heart
out.
- Get rid of negative emotions. A while after you’ve broken
up, if you still feel angry with your ex, tell yourself it’s time to let
go because it’s in the past now. Get rid of things that remind you of
your partner – things like the gifts they gave or cards they made. It’s
sad but it can help you move on.
- Care for yourself. Eat well, sleep well and exercise. Do
things that make you feel better – like taking a walk in the park or
getting together with your family. When you’re hurting, you need to do
things that will minimise the pain. A little bit of tender loving care
will go a long way in the process of healing.
- Get a new hobby. Try learning how to play the piano or how
to make Thai food. Go get yourself a new engagement to fill in spare
time. Keeping your mind and body busy is an essential ingredient of
healing. You might also meet new people with similar interests when you
join a group or club.
- Be positive. It might sound unbelievable, but it is perfectly possible that you’ll find someone else who’d love you again.
- Watch out for signs of depression. If you think you’re
falling into depression, let someone know. Get help. Contact helplines
or counsellors. Below is a list that will help you.
- Don’t turn to drink or drugs. Stay away from alcohol and other un-prescribed drugs. They’ll do you more harm than help you heal.
