I don’t know what’s worse. The breakup itself or the pain the follows it and won’t go away. If you’re familiar with those feelings then you know exactly what I’m talking about. Worse still is that after, thoughts keep coming back about your ex. Every thought stings. That pain just won’t go away, but if you don’t find a way to make it go away you think you’ll go crazy. There is something I can suggest to help you out.
Typically, after learning about a breakup, your friends will want to help you. The best way they know how is usually to take you out for a night of fun or to relax to get your mind off of your ex. You probably don’t feel like “fun” or going out at all. I understand, I’ve been there. You’ve got to understand though, that unless you can divert your thoughts somewhere else, and live life again, you’ll be stuck perpetually depressed by your ex. I know you don’t want that option either.
It’s ok to pretend you’re having fun as long as you go out and let your friends deal their part to heal you. You may find someone else you have a liking for and things may develop from there. If you have no interest in that at all right now, and want to get your ex back, remember there is nothing wrong with company of the other sex as long as it’s in fun and harmless. You can have more than one of these nights if you find that’s what you need as well. Before you take that call, or call your friends up, a few quick words of caution.
Drunk dialing is a cause of many potentially fixable breakups ending before they start. So go light on the alcohol. You don’t want to have to be apologizing to your ex for something you don’t remember doing or was not in a controlled state of mind when you did it. So if you plan to drink, don’t overdo it. It can dig you into a deeper hole than you already might be in.
