Healthy ways...

To get over a breakup that you initiated.

Thanks.

I see you got some 🍵 to spill

Work out

Reconnect with family and friends

Travel

And buried myself into work (this one really paid off financially)

Cliché but it really worked for me.

Girl... I do... Lol.

Yeah. Imma do all those things you listed. Thanks.

This is what I did:

Move 1/2 way across the world

Joined dxp

Colored my hair from blonde to red and back to blonde again

Consciously make an effort to look at men I find attractive and subtly flirt

Got busy with new projects

P.S. do you still have feelings for him and/or hoping to reconnect?

I'm getting my hair colored in the next couple of months.

I don't know if it would be a good idea for me to flirt with other men when I have baggage from this relationship I just broke off.

I'm going to bury myself in my job and just work myself to death lol

I do still have feelings for him but I'm trying to get rid of them.

Keep busy but allow yourself to grieve too.

Stay away from men for a while and focus on you

Be gentle with yourself

Get some pampering

(((Hugs)))

I'm going to just bury myself with work. I don't know what else to do to distract myself from this breakup I just had to do. I'm just sad.

There's also a Taurus who I'd been casually involved with for a few years who I swear I can't get off my mind and every time we'd part ways it would be on confusing or not so great terms... I'm wondering how he's feeling about me...

Alway remember why you broke up with him. Imaging living with guy you had Reservation for seems uncomfortable and fact it feels worse to live with him than being alone in my head helps to move on.

That's true...

Bump...

Sometimes when leaving a rship

we reach out for more from

someone else. That’s why rebounds often don’t work

As Cappy said remember the things that led you to leave. We are sometimes tempted to romanticize the good but if you write down the negatives and keep reading it over you’ll keep remembering why it wasn’t good for you...

Whew!!! Breaking up with my sons mother was difficult......it took me 2 years to get over it. And I still love her. I always will. But we were just not for each other.

All I could do was focus on myself. Took a while but when I looked up I had lost 60 lbs, had a good job, git a new car and even became a lil bit of a ladies man lol.

But those dark days man.....healthiest thing I did.was be honest with myself

Just because you were the one to end things doesn’t mean your not allowed to grieve. Give yourself the grace to feel the feels.

Also think about taking a little trip somewhere. A change of scenery always does me good.

I also go full on into the gym because revenge body 💪 and also the mental health benefits.

Talk things out with friends (and dxp) 😝 Try not to stay in a negative place or over think.

Pick flowers. Pet kittens. Buy some pretty shoes.

Yes, definitely continue to avoid your emotions by keeping yourself busy…

Look the easiest and most efficient way to get over a breakup is to allow yourself to face and REALLY FEEL your emotions. Allow yourself to wallow and cry until you physically can’t. Scream into a pillow, listen to a sad playlist, stay in your bed until the afternoon, etc whatever it is, just get it all out of your system until you have no more tear to shed or are sick of it. Also try to talk to someone about the details so that they can give you some emotional support, even ranting on dxp could help. It’s only after letting it all out of your system that you can take steps to keep yourself preoccupied with other areas of you life without those emotions heavily hovering above you.
