Easier said than done!

How do you get over a broken heart? Not everyone believes a heart can actually break but I beg to differ. I feel actual physical pain as well as the knots in my stomach. The heavy feeling in my chest. The constant ache. The anxiety when memories can't be forgotten. The feeling of betrayal when you have invested so much time into someone, only to have them not treat you the way treated them. Not have the same level of loyalty given back to you. Why do people hurt people? Is there any justifiable reason to break someone's heart? Time does heal some stuff, but the scab always remains. Any little thing can pick that scab off and bring everything to the surface again. You don't ever really heal, you just continue and try and mask it, until the next betrayal happens and it resurfaces. So yeh just wondering can a broken heart ever mend?

Pamper yourself and do everything that brings you enjoyment. Watching movies, eating your fav foods, doing your fav things, being with your closest friends where you can vent. Its healing. Write a letter to the person who broke your heart. Then tear it up and get on with living again. If these things don't work then maybe a therapist can help.
Good luck!

@Blondily What if you don't trust anyone anymore, and the things you loved to do have lost their appeal? I am currently seeing a therapist but unfortunately I can afford to keep her on tap. My way of saying one session a week doesn't even put a dent in my stuff.

@rawandauthentic Then you should discuss that with your therapist even if its only one day a week. There are probably free therapists you can look up online too.

@Blondily i have been but an hour a week takes so much time to sift through stuff. Slowly i guess

@rawandauthentic You'll get there. Give yourself time and try to do things you enjoy. A trick I use is not to dwell on sad thoughts and quickly think of happier things. Immerse yourself in your fav hobbies, etc.

@Blondily i am definitely going to try and work toward those things. Thank you
