Edited by Clifford, Charmed, Ephraim, Doug Collins and 2 others
Many of us on one time or another suffered a broken relationship. Relationship that we once nurtured and cling upon. When this kind of relationship once broken and turns sour, many cannot cope up or have real difficulty getting back up and go on with their life. This is rather natural considering the time and effort we give not to mention the emotional investment that we have given on it. Here are some pointers that we could use to get through during this kind of crisis in our life.
Instructions
- 1Hiding to the false pretense that we are OK will only aggravate the problem. It will only take the feelings we tried to hide longer to get rid of. The sooner you do this the sooner you can go on with your life.Get all those emotions out and be done with it - Cry, scream, mourn, that is the most natural thing to do after a break up.
- 2Get rid of the idea that you could still make it work.Accept the fact that it is over - Dwindling on the idea that you could still work it out will only generate more pain on the long run especially if things don't go as you plan it.
- 3We tend to think that there is something wrong with us that make the relationship sour. Relationships are made by two persons, It is always the two of you who are responsible if the relationship work or not. Never solely blame yourself on what have happened.Don't put the blame on yourself - When we face a broken relationship we tend to think that we are the one at fault.
- 4Your parents. Depending on the level of openness you have with them, let them know what you are going through. They probably have been on your situation before and their advice is something you can really upon.The importance of family - During this time in your life nobody can help and understand you more than your family i.e.
- 5As long as you know the friends that you can trust it would be good to discuss with them what you think and feel. Being that the ones that could understand you besides your family, they could put you in proper perspective on what is really happening to you.The importance of friends - Friends, I mean real friends that would stand with you no matter what.
- 6Have plans on going out meeting other people and make new friends. Do activities that would take you mind away from the pain. You don't have to hurt more that you need to. Surely, the pain and all other emotions associated with the break up will not be gone all at once. But given time everything will heal and one day you will be ready again to love and trust somebody.Get on with your life - After all the dust has settled down, don't let the feeling of bitterness or anger lingers with you all the time.
Deal With Your Emotions
When it comes to a break up it is important that you do not hide or run away from how you feel about the current situation. The best thing you can do is put your best foot forward in order to help you get through this process.

- 3If you only think about the good in the relationship it will tend to cause you to go into a depression in regards to missing the relationship.Do not look at the relationship as being perfect because no relationship is completely perfect as there are always problems in relationships no matter how big or small.
- 4You cannot stop the inevitable, you can only prolong it so look at it as the relationship failing if not now but later.Look at the relationship as if it were meant to be ended in the future due to the issues that the both of you faced in the relationship.

- 10In order for you to be able to repair yourself you will need to let out your hate/anger about the person out of your body.Release your inner anger and let out all the feelings you have about the situation out rather than keeping the rage inside of you during this time.
