3 Ways To End Your Sadness After A Breakup

By Karli Ralston


Do you find yourself sitting around your house sad and upset about your breakup? You wish that you could simply snap out of it but your heart is broken. All you can think about is your ex. All you want is to hear their voice, see their smile and know that they love you again.

Your sad mood and depression is actually a huge stumbling block when it comes to reuniting with your ex. You might think that your ex would be touched and humbled if they knew how upset and sad you were without them but the opposite is true. People tend to avoid others who are depressed or emotionally upset. Even though it is completely understandable that you might be a little sad in the wake of your breakup, it is far too easy to let this emotion dominate your mood. Depression is a slippery slope and one that is very difficult to avoid once you allow it to take hold of you. If you have a desire to get back together with your ex then you should work to avoid being depressed and focus on improving your mood.

If you want to improve your mood quickly, try some laughter therapy. Laughing can help you to feel better about life even if you are laughing about something external to you and your life. Funny movies or visiting a comedy club might be in order if you look in the mirror and have a difficult time smiling. If you just don't want to go out in public, which is common when you're depressed, rent a few good movies, curl up on the couch with some good comfort food and prepare yourself for a night of laughter. Search for some funny videos online and take your mind off of your troubles.

A little exercise might be helpful to you also. You don't have to become an exercise fanatic or spend hours at the gym to reap the benefits of exercise. Going for a walk or riding a bike is often enough to take your mind off of your troubles and improve your mood. When we exercise, our body releases mood enhancing chemicals that have been shown to help us to feel better about life. As an added benefit, you will be improving your overall physical health and you will be getting out of the house. Sometimes a little change of scenery can help improve your mood also.

Making a conscious effort to improve your overall mood and your confidence is the cornerstone of pulling yourself out of this depression. Once you start doing things for yourself and taking care of yourself there is a snowball effect that takes place. Even if you have to force yourself to do some of these things at first, eventually you begin to feel better about yourself and your life. Reading some good books on psychology and relationships can help you to understand yourself and begin the healing process. Understanding that all of us, your ex included, have some emotional baggage and focusing on becoming strong and self-confident has a healing effect. Being gentle and kind to yourself is your first step towards emotional healing and feeling good about your life and your current situation. Things might seem pretty bad right now but things will change. You are a good person and you deserve to be loved. You're not a piece of garbage and the sooner you understand that, the sooner your ex will see that you're a good person also.

Getting back together with someone that you truly love can be a stressful ordeal. Most people spend months working against themselves before they finally snap out of it and start doing things that are productive. You can get back together with your ex more quickly by skipping this destructive period and throwing yourself headlong into doing things that are going to help you. You'll shorten the amount of time you spend alone by rebuilding yourself and your life into something that your ex will be proud to be a part of. Think about it and remember to be positive and optimistic about your ability to get back together with your ex.
