Your Guide to Heartache




Dealing with break-ups.




With summer coming to a close and schools opening their doors, this may mean the end of a summer fling. While the thought of having a broken heart may sound impossible to deal with, it's an inevitable part of life. So if you're in a similar situation to this, follow these tips to help ease your heartache.


1. Accept your pain. This one may not sound like much fun, but it's an extremely important part
of dealing with a break up. Remember that it's okay to cry and don't try to hold it in.


2. Talk to someone. Cry on a friend's shoulder, talk to your mom about it (she's probably been
through it before) or talk to a guidance counselor. It's okay to share your feelings, and these
people would be more than happy to listen to you.
3. Pamper yourself. Don't worry about being selfish, you totally deserve to take care of yourself
in times like this. Take relaxing baths, indulge in your favorite treat or get a manicure.
4. Write it down. Keep a journal or start an online blog. Write down everything you're thinking
and feeling. This can be a great pain releasing technique.
5. Remove the memories. It's okay to keep things to remind you of your ex, but if it's easier for
you, put everything that has to do with the relationship in a box and put it in your closet until
you're ready to see those things again.
6. Find a hobby. Maybe you like to draw or maybe you play an instrument. No matter what
your hobbies may be, enjoy them! Doing something you enjoy will help take your mind off of
the things you don't want to think about.Everyone deals with a break up differently, so find
what works for you. Always remember that a break up isn't the end of the world. Before you
know it, you'll be back to normal and completely over your heartache.
