A few days ago before the holidays, I recently talked to a friend in the office. I saw her past by feeling sad and miserable. She was a bit apprehensive and frustrated on one of our conversation at break time. She was not keen on saying something with what happened with her beau lately until a few minutes later in the middle of the conversation she told the truth that their relationship went SPLITS VILLE a few days ago before Christmas. She was crying and we (me and another office mate) gave her a hug and a little piece of advice on this types of situation as her friends and colleagues when she needed someone to give her emotional boosts on that they day on. I felt awkward like an old man giving advice to a young girl. To tell you she was 13 years my senior and less than a year working in the company and I was her boss.
I found out later that night after she went out with her girlfriends consuming some booze at her home just to forget her man. It seems that some relationship are melodramatic like what she was experiencing. I never had doubts about it like what is happening in TV and movie is happening in real life minus the happily ever after ending. To tell you frankly, I too went through those moments in a relationship I gave up and throw the towel on the middle of the fight or raise the white flag in surrendering against personal indifference. It was a hard decision though and emotions just sprung up giving me flashbacks of the good times we had.
How to survive on a rough break-up:
1. Cry - learn to let go of the emotional baggage of it. Crying helps a lot in releasing pain and stress. It can make you feel better afterwards.
2. Friends - When in need, a real friend will talk and listen to your problem. He or she can give you company and advise as well in times of emotional crises you are going through.
3. Family - Your very own immediate could be a great help and source of inspiration in surviving in rougher time like this. Unlike friends, Family is more of an intimate side and the family members know you better so get in touch with them.
4. Hobbies - Do you have hobbies at home, taking care of a pet dog or cat or do other types of work on free time such as freelancing or part-time job then go do it. It will preoccupy you with activities and will definitely forget or lessen what you are feeling right now.
5. Go out - Just as most social people, going out for a night of fun would be ideal especially in a company of friends or mingle with other people on a party or occasion of some sort.
6. Be casual - if you chanced upon him or her at one point in time, just be cool or you can stay away or if no chance they are in your path just say hi and tell him or her you are doing fine. It will not be ideal to be involved in a fist or cat fight or even in a trash talk. Just be civil about it.
Just Remember to: Move on, let go and do cry.
