How To Mend A Broken Heart?

You got dumped and now you are wishing that the earth would open you up and swallow you whole. You don’t come out of your room and you have emptied countless ice cream baskets in a matter of few days! You desperately wait next to the phone, wishing your lover calls you and begs you to take him back… Days go by and eventually months but your wish does not come true…Well, dealing with a broken heart can be a tough cookie! But remember, just as it took time to fall in love, you don’t just fall out of it overnight. Here are the three stages you will have to go through to mend a broken heart:

Stage one: Crying your eyes out:

It hurts, doesn’t it? Hurt, is your heart’s way of telling you that you have just experienced the worse kind of heart ache there is. You cry, you’re depressed and you have no idea how you are going to live without the person. You try contacting them in every means possible but to no avail. You over stuff yourself or just plainly loose your appetite. You are, basically, a hopeless mess. A word of sympathy, it happens to everyone who goes through a broken heart.

Now, here is how to make the blow less painful. Make sure, you hang out with friends a lot and watch comedies, even though you don’t feel like it. This is also a good time to get closer to your family. Also, talk to people who have gone through breakups, they can give you good advice on how to deal with one.

The second stage: Rebounds:

You know you have reached the second stage when your hurt turns to anger and you want to show the other person that “you just don’t give a damn about them anymore”. You start seeing someone just to get even or to divert your mind from that person. Rebounds do not last, for the simple reason that your intention behind the relationship is wrong. Hence, rather than doing something you will definitely regret later, try something more simple, take his picture and burn it or throw darts at it. Burn love letters, delete his messages and finalize the break up by getting rid of everything you have of his.

The third stage: When you genuinely don’t “give a damn”:

You have finally reached there. You have come to the place where you can go on from here and form new meaningful relationships. When you finally get to this last stage, you will become the person you originally were – full of happiness, hope and excitement!
