Question:
My ex and I recently broke up and I'm in a lot of emotional
pain right now. How can I ease the pain that's tearing me
                  apart from the inside?
Answer:
Dealing with a breakup is never easy, believe me I know.
 And they can be even more difficult if you've spent a
  considerable amount of time together as a couple.
Unfortunately most people don't quite know what to say
   to ease the pain of a breakup so they'll say something
like:" there are plenty of fish in the sea." But why does it
   seem that everybody feels the need to share that old
  saying with you after you have ended a relationship? I
  know it's their way of easing the pain of a breakup and
    while it may be true, it never has the desired effect.
The good news is that there are some things you can do to
     start feeling better and move on with your life.
Now before you try and move on with things, I think it's
extremely important that you address your feelings at this
 point. Don't try and deny it. After a break up, feelings on
  both sides are hurt, emotions are raw and anger surges
    through us as we try to come to terms with what's
happened. The reason that I feel it's important to identify
with your emotions and feelings at this point after a break
up is because you need to understand that it's completely
   normal. So if you're feeling like you're in a deep pit of
despair that you can't crawl out of,it's not that you're nuts
   and off your rocker, it's because your human and it's
           natural to love and want to be loved.
Aside from time, the main thing that will help you heal
   from the pain and hurt of a breakup is to accept the
   situation for what it is, even if you don't like it. After
 you've accepted the situation, easing the pain of a break
up becomes a lot easier. However, don't expect that you're
   going to just accept the break up over night and that
everything in your life is going to be sunshine and lollipops
again. It may take some time, so go easy on yourself here.
Here are a 4 things you can do to feel better in the
                    meantime.
1. Get a life. Cutting yourself off from the world after a
 break up is one of the worst things you can do during the
 recovery process. Now don't misunderstand me here, I'm
 not saying that it's not alright to be alone and take some
time for yourself. If you need to take some time to collect
 your thoughts and mourn the relationship that's fine, but
don't over do it. Get out and do something that takes your
mind off your troubles, but start out small. Avoid going to
 any of the old places that you and your ex went to during
 your relationship because this will only open old wounds
that need to heal. Instead, get out there and enjoy life. Do
     the things that you love and that make you happy.
2. Keep busy. Don't totally ignore your feelings after the
   break up. That's not fair to you and it will damage the
 healing process. But don't dwell on it either because that
     will do just as much damage if not more. This is the
perfect time to pick up a new hobby or get back into doing
  something that you love. Get moving and participate in
activities that boosts your confidence. Start going to a gym
or go out with your friends but do something that gets you
       moving and interacting with other people. And
    lastly, don't negate the opportunity for meeting new
 people and trying new things, you never know, you could
    meet someone that will brighten your life right now.
3. Laugh. It might seem like a totally impossible task right
   now, but allow yourself to laugh with your family and
  friends. Laughter releases 'happy' chemicals from your
   brain which makes you feel good. These are the same
 chemicals that get released whenever you exercise or do
 something that releases stress from your life. So it stands
to reason that the more you laugh, the better you will feel.
 Break ups are never an easy thing to deal with, but if you
     can learn to laugh and surround yourself with good
   things, you'll put yourself in a much better position to
  recover and you'll come out stronger and better on the
                          other end.
4. Reach out. What if everything you're doing isn't getting
  the job done? When this happens, it's not a bad idea to
    reach out to someone who can help. Therapists and
    counsellors are there to help and they're specifically
 trained to deal with your issues better than the average
 person is. The advantage in reaching out to someone like
this is that they are trained to listen and offer advice as an
   independent third party and what's better is that they
   may be able to offer you a unique perspective on your
  situation that you may not have thought about before.
Have you thought about getting back together after the
break up? Don't worry if you have, it's completely normal.
  Believe it or not, many couples often get back together
    after some time apart and have more fulfilling and
satisfying relationships with each other because they both
  have a little more perspective on things. So if you find
yourself in this situation, use your time apart to become a
 better and more well rounded person because you'll be
  that much more appealing to your ex the second time
                            around.
Breaking up with someone you love is never easy,
especially when you're close and have a history together.
There's nothing wrong with feeling down, but there comes
  a point when you've got to pick yourself up and get on
                   with living your life.
