Two Little Ducks

The good news is it’s not the end of the world. There are ways to get through these tough times.

The first thing to remember is that it is ok to cry or have regrets. After the split, take some time for yourself. Let yourself grieve the end of a phase of your life. Whether you were together for months or for years, when you decide to go your separate ways it is going to be sad. Chances are there were some bad times. If you didn’t have problems you would probably be together. Yet there were more than likely a lot of really good times too. There will be things about that person you will miss. So give a couple of days to yourself. Get it all out of your system and let the healing process begin.
Once you get over the initial change in status, don’t second guess yourself. Be ok with the decisions you made before and during the breakup. You can’t change the past. Sitting around saying “what if” will only make you feel worse and could cause you to make a big mistake –going back to a relationship that just a day or two before you had good reason to get out of. There can be reasons to get back with an ex. Just make sure you are doing it for the right reasons.

If you are having a hard time adjusting after a breakup, remember your support system. Lean on close friends and family. Make sure you don’t isolate yourself from the rest of the world. There are still people out there who care about you and if you cut yourself off from the world you risk losing out on those people as well. Go out and have a night with your best friend. Chances are if you were in a serious relationship you haven’t gotten to go out just the two of you in a while anyway
