At one point in our lives, we all deal with heartbreak. In college, there’s always a big chance us collegiettes will experience that until we find the right guy. But for now, some of us are still ending up with all the Mr. Wrongs instead of our Mr. Right. These guys tend to win over our hearts with their sweet, charming words and then end up doing the exact opposite of what they said, therefore breaking our hearts. Every girl tends to deal with heartbreak differently. Some go out on shopping sprees to make themselves feel better, some hook up with other guys, or some just sit at home with a carton of Ben & Jerry’s. Here are some tips with how to deal with this sad situation:
1. Talk about it with friends
There’s nothing better than just pouring your heart out to your girlfriends over some good food and then cuddling up to watch a chick flick. No matter how much you think it’s going to annoy them, at the end of the day if they’re your friends, then they’ll be there for you to listen because they would want you to do the same if they were in your place. So go ahead, plan a day with your girls and go out to lunch, do some small retail therapy, and let it all out. You’ll feel a lot better!
2. Writing
Maybe this won’t apply to anybody, but if you’re like me, writing down what you feel will help you feel so much better. It’ll be as if a weight has been lifted off your chest. Just write it all down, even if it doesn’t make sense sometimes and it’s all a big jumbled mess. At the end, that’s kind of how you feel, isn’t it? So just grab a pen and a notebook, or open up your laptop and write away. If you have a blog, make a post about it or two, and publish it. There, don’t you feel good?
3. Exercise
After break ups, a lot of girls start working out right away. Let’s face it, sometimes we tend to gain a bit of weight when we’re with somebody because that’s just It, you’ve found somebody that loves you and accepts you for who you are and what you already look like. But after breakups, most girls go straight to the gym to get their pre-relationship body back and show their ex’s what they’re missing out on. Yet, exercise not only helps you lose weight, but just makes you feel better emotionally. You release endorphins when you exercise, which in turn make you happy. Now that’s not to say that you’ll feel completely better after a hardcore work out session, but it’ll certainly vent.
4. Realize That You Deserve Better
At some point through the process of moping, you start to blame yourself for what happened. “I was stupid enough to believe what he said”, “Ugh I feel like such an idiot”, “It’s all my fault” might be some of the things that run through your mind. However, I am here to tell you that you shouldn’t! You had every right to believe what he told you, he made you believe those things! It’s not your fault that you thought that what he was saying was true. So ladies, stop blaming yourselves over a failed relationship because in the end, everything happens for a reason. Who needs that guy anyway?!
