Getting over a relationship can be very difficult and heartbreaking. Often times, when it comes to ending toxic relationships, half of your heart is telling you to stay away from your ex, while the other half wants to keep a close watch on his whereabouts. Definitely, you know what choice is good for you. Toxic relationships aren't just bad, in other cases, they can be damaging as well.
Sure, you can opt for deprecating humor and visit www.mybreakupspace.com (think take-off on MySpace) or google "how to get revenge" all day long. Did you know you can even get your very own free blog space to rant and rave about what a jerk he is at www.mybreakupblog.com? Yeah, maybe if you're feeling really emotional one day, the break up blog is a good way to vent. But let's face reality these tactics are just temporary stress toys to bite down on while you deal with your feelings. So what should you do?
Cry. Yes, let those tears come out. But, never cry alone in your room. Go out and see a movie. When the sad part sets in, cry... cry as hard as you can. It's also better if a friend or two can come with you, so you won't look like a weirdo at the cinema.
Don't call your ex just yet. Bear in mind that your relationship with him is toxic. Take some time off hearing his voice, by doing so, you'll be much more stronger and sane before the time that you really have to see him again.
Make a list of the good and the bad. The physicality of a list will help you put the true nature of the relationship into a more realistic perspective. When you can actually linger over all those bad things he did to you or all those stupid things you fought over, you are more likely to think reasonably and want to move on. Score one for the angel!
Have an outlet for your pent-up energy. If you are feeling stressed because of your relationship, it's best to draw your attention to something that you love doing. Learn photography or anything you can enjoy that requires your creative mind working. Channel your emotions into activities, which can be meaningful to you. If you do so, you are not just helping your mind wander about something else, but it helps you see and understand your feelings more through what you create as well.
Talk it out. Good friends or family members who care about you are almost always willing to lend an ear, even if you just want to babble to them about what the relationship used to be like. Note: You may want to rotate listeners if you talk a lot, however, to avoid overkill!
Sadly, breakups will happen in one way or another, and whether we like it or not... but they are optional. Many of us may have to go through a number of breakups to be able to learn how to handle a romantic relationship. It's not bad to feel sad and it's definitely okay to dwell on your emotions. Just don't beat yourself up much. If you are in a toxic relationship, sort things out if you can, if not, deal with it and move on.
