Friendship Breakups Hurt!
No matter how hard it may seem to overcome a broken friendship, it's crucial for you to consider your emotions and free your heart from them. You can do this either by writing a journal or talking to a close person for personal growth and deeper self analysis. Here are some things you should keep in mind while curing your mental health after a breakup as shared by Aamish Dhingra, Mental Health Coach and founder of Cocoweave International Coaching.
Own your emotions
It is completely normal to experience certain negative emotions after such a companionship break, may it be anger, frustration, sadness or betrayal. Unresolved problems can become huge triggers for your future relationships. So take help of some close relative, friend or write your thoughts in a journal.
Comprehend the situation
Undoubtedly there is always a reason behind any breakup. So be mentally ready to understand what actually went wrong. Find your reason for the breakup which might be some long standing emotional factor or a few hurtful words said. Getting a proper closure keeps the mental health at ease and doesn’t come in the way of your future commitments.
Give it some time
Find a listening ear
Embrace the present
Rather than just clinging onto the past and desiring things to turn back to normal again is futile. You should accept the situation and give your mental health an opportunity to move past the emotions you have been feeling as change is the essence of life. Healing will only come with welcoming change in your life and giving acceptance to the situation.
