Hello there! I understand how difficult it must be for you to get through this difficult time. Heart breaks can be painful and frustrating and it is normal to go through this phase where your world seems to be upside down. The best thing you can do is consult a psychologist. A psychologist is a mental health professional who would be able to understand your concerns in detail and help you manage them better. There could be different reasons for your heart break, but let me tell you that there are always good things coming your way. You will definitely find love again, and you deserve to be loved and cared for. The psychologist will talk to you and find out which type of therapy suits you the best. There are many types of therapy including CBT ( Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which has proven to be successful to manage and get through heartbreak. Here are things you could do alongside therapy to help yourself get through this:
Work on regaining your self esteem - It is normal to question your self esteem and worth when an important person in your life has parted ways. So it is important to remind yourself that your confidence and esteem hasnât gone anywhere just yet!
Visit atleast one new place a week - Whether it is a cafe that you havenât visited or a brand new book store, make it a point to visit a new place every week. You can even call your friends. The goal here is to break routines and habits that were formed earlier.
Avoid rebound relationships- It is common for some people to get into rebound relationships as soon as they break up, and this is an unhealthy practise. Making impulsive decisions when you already have enough emotions to deal with after the heartbreak, jumping headfirst into another relationship is the last thing you should do. This is mostly just a mechanism to not have to deal with the pain and loneliness from the heart break!
Write down why you left them in the first place when you miss them or start questioning your choices.
Stay away from social media until you reach a space wherein you wonât be tempted to stalk them. Merely unfollowing him/her would not work because you many have a lot of mutual friends.
Reach out to friends and family for support - We all need support through times of struggle. Support from our loved ones will help us feel loved, cared for and also help feel a sense of belongingness and security.
Eat healthy, exercise and practise mindfulness. However busy your schedule is make time to have healthy meals, exercise for at least half an hour a day and practise at least ten minutes of mindfulness. These little things make a huge difference and it will help you stay positive.
You will get through this! Stay strong!
