It is a hard decision to break up but very hard indeed if you are the one who didn’t want it to end. Even a dull or destructive relationship hurts when it ends because you still have to let go of your hopes and dreams.
Emotional hurt can be more painful than physical pain and affects our physical as well as mental health. Eating, sleeping and thinking clearly are particularly difficult and when under pressure from studies, particularly worrying.
The following tips may help you take care of yourself through the break-up, much like you have to take care of yourself when sick. Gradually you do heal and begin to enjoy life again.
