Breaking up with someone can sometimes be one of the hardest things we go through in our lives; well at least it feels like it at the time.
Then you get the really bad break ups, you know the ones, where it feels like your heart has been ripped out, you don’t want to eat or you eat to much, you feel horrible anxiety in your stomach, you can’t sleep and you lose your love for life.
It’s hard to imagine ever getting over it?
Well hopefully that’s where this site will help, here you will find advice on how to deal with the heartbreak in the initial stages and also practical steps you can take to recover from the break up. As well as help with the practical side like moving out, finances and eventually moving 
on with your life.
There is no specific time limit to recover from your relationship break up, as everyone is different, that’s the bad news. The good news is that you and you alone control how quickly you recover.
Some of the advice you will probably think well that’s obvious, and yes it probably is but you have to remember that when you go through a break up and experience loss your mind does not always think properly and can impair your judgment, so sometimes a helpful reminder is all you need
Last year I had a number of bad life experiences and experienced a break up that really changed my life, this is my story. This site is dedicated to what I learnt along the way from my own relationship break down with a view to help others that may experience a similar situation.
A positive break up – Is there such a thing?
A break-up although incredibly traumatic and devastating at the time can eventually be turned into a positive. Heartbreak is unfortunately part of life and nearly everyone goes through it at some stage, by doing so we discover how strong and versatile we really can be. And if addressed correctly you as a person can excel and grow from this life experience and be ready for whatever life has to throw at you. Read through the site and hopefully with time and effort things will become easier.
Reading other peoples stories helped me immensely as it put everything into perspective, so if you find this site useful please leave feedback and comments to help others, thanks and good luck.
Thank you man for this site. Really helped me to live again. World isn’t that much of a dark place, is it?! : )
First love, first heart break, I put all of my heart and soul it that relationship. I lost a lot and even hitting rock bottom.
It hit me hard and the amount I put into the releationship and with way it ended, it shouldn’t of happened to anybody.
Locking myself away in my parnets house, waking up each day thiking about how life could screw me some more and thoughts running around in my head of how I should put myself out of world.
But I found myself, day after day, talking to a close group of friends. How bad I was feeling and what was going on in my head (the good and the bad).
A friend of mine also put me on this website, when I was alone and couldn’t talk to anybody at times and it really did help.
I am not saying that I’m back to my normal self and 100%. But it has taken most of them really bad thoughts from my head and helped me get back my life again.
If your reading this, friends and familys, talk to them, they WILL understand, they WILL stand by you and they WILL help you get your life and happyness back.
Thank you for making this website, it has helped me through these rough times.
i am so glad i read everything here on this website and have saved it to my favourites.
it has helped so much as i constantly have looked on the internet for ways to help the grief and torment I am feeling after my 17 years marriage broke up recently
i do now know i loved him more than he loved me, and even though we had the most brilliant relationship for many years i never expected we would ever be apart.
i think my reaction is due to a snowball of traumas which i never faced until now and our break up was the straw that broke me.
in 2005 i had major surgery for cancer, (i got the all clear this year)
in 2007 i had a serious RTA and was lucky to be alive after a serious chest injury
in 2008 my husband met his ‘childhood sweetheart’ and dedcided he wanted to be with her, but then changed his mind again and came back to me
in september we decided to give ourselves some time think and breathe, but within 2 weeks he had met someone else
that hurts so much
but maybe i didnt deal witth all the other grief of the past 3-4 years
i know i must deal with the pain but feel tormented at every turn
i will start putting ideas here into action
thankyou
This website is fantastic! Thank you! It is 3.38am and I can’t sleep for thinking about my ex. So I searched the internet and found this page. It makes me feel better just knowing that I’m not the only person to feel this bad and I will get better. I’ve made this page my homepage for now – I think it will help me to focus on getting better rather than being tempted to look up the ex on facebook!! (Which I have been doing a lot recently and it’s hard to see that he’s moved on so quickly and also to see that he was already moving on during our last few months together). So hard not to check though!! I have felt so down during the past few weeks and have felt like there was no way I’m gonna get over this but reading your advice has given me some hope, so thank you again. Hope you are enjoying Canada!
