Recovering from an unexpected break up can be very hard to do, especially if you were the one that was dumped. Sadly, this is something that most everyone experiences in life at one time or another.
The most important to do is always remind yourself that you can and will get over it sooner or later. How hard it is and how long the pain lasts depends on you and you alone. One step in making it easy is to stay from the friends you know through your ex.
Some people will give you the advice that the best thing to do is to remove everything from your life that will remind you of your ex. Personally, I disagree because I think that the more we try to remove memories, the more we will keep remembering.
Try and take it slow and easy for a while, and don’t be too hard on yourself over the breakup. Don’t obsess with focusing on stuff that reminds you of them, but don’t try and avoid everything either.
People will try and be annoyingly supportive until you act better and stop being sad around them. When you want to cry, do it when you are alone. In the meantime, be a part of life and get out and mingle.
You will move on and end up meeting someone right for you in the right time. Remember to give yourself time and that as it passes, so will your sadness.
The thing that helped me was I reminded myself that I wasn’t the only one to experience a breakup, and many do daily. It happens to anyone and almost everyone, and even though it stinks, people do move on and live life once again, and so will you.
