The pain of breaking up is a very profound type of injury that is very similar to the grief felt over someone who has passed away. Your significant other has left, leaving a hole in you that refuses to heal. Your relationship with your ex has died, never to be experienced again.
As with all of the pain that people around the world must endure, life goes on. For your own well being, it is important to get though this pain successfully. Getting your life back on track means more than mere survival, you want to thrive in your life. Below is some advice for putting the pain behind you and moving forward.
1.) Immerse yourself in with other people and your friends. Even without your ex, there are other people in your life who also matter. Don't try to be a lone wolf.
Trying to go it alone will only make your efforts at getting past the pain much harder to do. So give your friends a chance and let them help.
2.) Don't spend your time brooding over the break up or on the relationship that was lost. It is a normal thing to want to analyze the details of the breakup, but this can soak up too much of your emotional reserves and energy.
As was mentioned before, it's important to be with other people. However, some discussion about your breakup is healthy but don't over do it. The main reason for being with others is to get involved again with life and to enjoy it.
3.) Be careful with the type of music you play. Avoid any music that may resurrect old emotions associated with your break up. Music can have a strong effect when it comes to pulling on your emotional strings. So play something more happy.
4.) Stay clear of the sadness, self pity trap, otherwise you may get lured into the living death called depression. Believe me, you don't ever want to be drawn there. Depression is a serious mental illness that shortens and even ends the lives of it's sufferers.
Often, music or cinema portrays sadness as a kind of sweet melancholy that can be very moving and may feel "good". But this sadness is a kind of temporary empathy reaction that ends with the song or movie. But there is nothing sweet or romantic about personal sadness which is a trap that can destroy the quality of our lives.
5.) Finally, have a sense of optimism about where you want to go in life. You also need to be optimistic about your prospects of finding love in the future. People everywhere have suffered through breakups and still got past the pain.
There may be a good chance that you can get back together with your ex. If not, there will be other lovers in your future. You only have to make the effort and just do it.
