The worst part about breaking up is when you're left alone.
But even when you're trying to have fun, emotional pain is the hardest and the longest to heal.
Find out how to deal with the break up blues.
Let it out - You can indulge in every kind of distraction, but the best way to deal with hurt and grief is to cry it out.
This could take you anywhere from a half-hour weep to a few days' fasting, but if this is what helps to let it out, then do not deny yourself this.
Bear the pain, and then forget about it.
Chances are, after your cry, you'll feel refreshed and more ready to move on in life.
Seek support from people who can understand - It won't help you at all if you ask the support and advice of someone who hasn't experienced a break up or someone who is not very open-minded with your perspectives on relationships.
You don't need a debate right now.
Call up a friend who knows how to cheer you up and listens to you rant until you talk yourself into a better outlook and resolution.
Find a distraction - After you've had your cry, you need to get out there and get busy, just so you won't relapse into an anti-social trance and destroy all your chances at maintaining whatever relationships you have left.
Plus, it's going to do your self-esteem a good deal if you achieve small goals like losing weight, cleaning up your room, or even taking up a new hobby.
Reward yourself - You'll soon realize that you have neglected yourself and will need to make up for it.
You deserve something to cheer you up.
You can get a makeover or a new pool table-whatever you think is worth it.
However, be very careful not to fall into emotional shopping and eating.
Incurring debts and consequences you'll regret later will trap you into a vicious cycle.
