Sad, angry, exhausted, frustrated, anxious, even relieved: it’s all normal. After a break many are the emotions as you come to terms with the fact you are on your own.
When a relationship ends the sense of loss and disappointment seems unbearable. All you see in front is an uncertain future. It is difficult to let all the dreams and hopes you had.
The fear of the unknown can often seem more difficult to bear than the unhappiness you felt in the relationship.
You might start to wonder if you made the right decision.
With no doubt you will miss things about the other. You remember things you loved about your ex. It’s inevitable you’ll miss some of the things that you had.
Your routine has been disrupted and your responsibilities, home, and relationships with friends and extended family might also be forced to change.
Everyone says you need to accept it and let it go. The sooner the better. So, how do you let it go?
I often wonder the very same thing. When I fall for someone, I fall hard and often go into the "happily ever after mode" but then reality hits and the person whom you thought was your soul mate, now is no longer there.
It has been over two months now. It is starting to get better.
If you are going through a similar situation these are my advice:
Take time out to grieve. It’s fine to take a break. We are not machines.
Don’t forget that time cures. It might seem easier said than done, but it will get easier after a while.
Try and not isolate yourself. Believe me that is not a good idea. You don’t feel you can share how you feel with family or friends? Then post your thoughts on an oline forum, write here, so that you get some advice and support.
Find new things to do. Take up a new hobby, get into sport or gym try and make new friends and refresh your image, do things that make you feel good.
These are the things I will be doing from now on. Have some ‘me time’. You will find all the details in my next posts.
We can do it…
