Life after

Unhappy couples sometimes stay together longer than what's good for them because breaking-up is hard. For those going through it, my advice here is to view all this in terms of time. It's the time when low mood, decreased energy, reduced ability to concentrate, poor or excessive appetite, disturbed sleep habits, or just feeling "off" may arise. This isn't a permanent state, it's a travel through. Your body and mind are sorting things out to restore some type of equilibrium.

It might also be the time for sadness, anger, loneliness, fear, regret and/or disappointment. These are all part of the moving forward process, so just let your humanness BE. Acknowledge the feelings. Feel them. Process them. You won't live in this state forever even if it may feel like it, and the company of good people will go a long way here. If you find yourself stuck, it may be time to talk to a professional.

Most importantly though, its the time to learn something very important about yourself. Relationships built on the really good stuff generally don't end, so try to figure out what was healthy about this one, and what was not. There is a vast opportunity for self-growth here. Deep and honest introspection at this stage sets you up to enjoy a healthier, happier, and more satisfying future. When you're ready, you'll see that there's a whole world out there waiting for you!
