Naturally, if you've just gone through a breakup, your emotions are going to be all over the place.
This is especially true if you have been dumped by your ex.
In a situation like this, many people find it hard to know exactly what to do, and more often than not, they wind up getting themselves into trouble.
However, it's certainly not something that you should beat yourself up for.
If you find yourself making all the wrong moves, you've got to remember that you're operating on pure emotion and, oftentimes, this supersedes any logical thinking.
Keep in mind that you're not the only one who's ever gone through a breakup, and you're not the only one who's ever made bad decisions.
While you're going through this emotional turmoil, one thing you might want to keep in mind that can ground you and help you through this difficult time, is the fact that this highly emotional state is going to subside eventually.
After that, you'll be able to make some logical decisions and start making some possible progress with your ex.
It's for this reason that most relationship experts recommend that you cut off communication with them for a few weeks.
That's not to say that you have to cut off all communication forever; it simply means that you've got to get away from your ex and the whole environment in order to allow your emotions to subside and your logical thinking to take over.
This doesn't usually take too long, and you'll be surprised at the difference it makes.
In a matter of a week or two, you should be able to push your emotions aside and actually talk like two mature adults.
A breakup can be one of the most emotional events a person can go through.
As long as you keep in mind that you need a little healing time, you can get through this.
