Getting Over a Breakup (midwest.social)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

65 comments fedilink hide all child comments

How have you successfully gotten over a breakup? I did not end the relationship and it was the most significant of my life. I feel confused and trying to understand why. I'm not sleeping well and my anxiety has decided to resurface. I'm ruminating. I don't have many people to go to about this. Please don't say I will find someone else, because I can't go there right now. And I know it won't happen anyway.

Going through a break up sucks. Like really sucks. There's no getting around it that I've found. It does get better after some time (maybe a lot of time), but I wouldn't worry about that right now. Exercise seemed to help me with some of the overthinking and rumination. Over time it will get less raw and you'll likely develop some perspective that will help, But for now take time to grieve and feel sad.

Exercise sounds like a good idea.
