How to Get Over a Broken Heart

Published by laurenr at 2:36 pm under Breaking Up Edit This

I’ve been through a broken heart, more then once, and it sucks. I don’t need to tell you that. Chances are you’ve either been through it before or you’re going through it now. So what exactly are you supposed to do when you feel like you have no idea how to get through something so painful?

First, cry your eyes out. Seriously, go ahead and do it. If you don’t you may end up either having your feelings boil up inside and making you angry or you’ll break down at the most inopportune time.

Next, kick your ass. Give yourself a little while to cry then stop it. Doesn’t sound easy I know, but you’re the one that’s going to have to be responsible for dragging yourself out of bed. You have to be strong for yourself otherwise you’ll just keep wallowing. Go to the store, clean, take your dog for a walk- whatever it is, find an excuse to get up.

Go and read some inspiring books. Head to the library or bookstore and get some books that are going to trigger the confidence inside yourself. You feel like crap afterwards and your confidence may be wavering. It’s still there, so read some inspiring words to help spark it again. Surprisingly, it works.

Talk to someone. If you keep your thoughts and feelings inside, it’ll do more harm then good.

Get out of the house. Make as many plans as possible (without emptying your bank account). Good friends have a habit of putting things into perspective and kicking your ass when you need it.

You can either drag yourself through life and cry or try and enjoy life and all of its possibilities. It’s up to you which choice you want to make, however, just remember that life is too short.
