Remember These Things When You Break Up

If you go through a breakup and you are struggling to be happy, here are some things you need to remember about the breakup:

• You had good reasons to break up. There were lots of fights and tears.
• The reasons are still there even if you miss them. Don’t forget the bad things that happened.
• Feeling bad is hard but you need to embrace your feelings and let them flow.
• Feel free to go out and drink for a week. Do whatever you can to feel good for a while.
• Eat some unhealthy foods like ice cream and chips.
• Tears will come, allow yourself to be sad and to heal.
• It is okay to cry even when you are in public. Go out with friends so that you can cry to them and feel better.
• If they dumped you, they didn’t deserve you. Find someone that wants to be with you.
• If you dumped them, don’t forget that breakups are hard no matter who ends it.
• Don’t want to get back together with them. You broke up for a reason, move on.
• Even if your family and friends loved him, you are going to get over him and they have too as well.
• Being single is fun and you can do all kinds of new things.
• Going out on the rebound can distract you and be fun, but it can make you feel even worse.

• Be sure that you are not boring and go out with your friends.
• Therapy is not a bad thing and will not make you a bad person.
• The sadness will fade as time goes on, even though it doesn’t feel like it.
• Stop looking at their social media and move on. You do not need to know what they are doing, who they are dating and what their family is doing.
• If your ex starts dating someone, don’t compare yourself to them. You are the best you can be, and they are not you.
• You can go outside in sweatpants if you want to.
• Don’t let people control what emotions that you have.
• Be your own self. If you are sad, be sad.
