Dealing with Break Ups

Breaking up with your partner is never easy. Some people feel it is right to have a civilised conversation and end the relationship face to face, whereas others find it easier to end their relationship by a text, phone call or an email.

If your partner has just ended the relationship, you are sure to be feeling either upset and emotional, or angry and frustrated. This blog post will show you how to make you feel better about the situation.

Emotional break ups

If you are feeling emotional and vulnerable after your break up, there is nothing worse than staring at old photos and crying. Try not to look at holiday snaps or pictures on your phone, and instead, collect all the things that remind you of your partner and put them away in a drawer somewhere. You might not feel ready to throw these items away just yet, but keeping them out of sight helps to keep them out of mind.

You could try and distract yourself by playing some video games, going online for a fun game of Cheeky Bingo or venting your thoughts to your closest friends over Skype. Sometimes you feel better after talking about the situation, because it makes you see all the things you didn't like or the things you had to put up with during the relationship. This might help you realise that maybe you weren't right for each other

Dealing with anger and frustration after a break up

If you are feeling annoyed and angry, this is just a sign that you really cared about the relationship and you are confused about what went wrong. You might benefit from weighing up all the positive and negative things about the relationship. But try to keep a positive mind frame and remember that you have all of your friends and family to support you.

Throwing items away will help you prove to yourself that you have moved on and you are wiping the slate clean. There is nothing better and more therapeutic than a good spring clean, which will help you clear your head as well as your apartment.
