Allow Yourself to Mourn:

You deserve to cry and mope. You just had your heart broken by someone you either liked, loved, or trusted. Allow yourself a day to sit around and just mope. Skip school, wear your pajamas all day, indulge in your favorite junk food, and watch your favorite shows or movies. You are only allowed one day to mourn. The next day, you have to begin the moving on process, even though your heart is still broken.

Join Friends and Family:

After you had a day of moping, spend the day enjoying your friends and family. Talk to them about what happened and look to them for advice and encouragement. After spending so much time in a relationship, you may realize how much you missed your friends and family. Spending the day with your friends or family is also great because it will show you how much you are worth and loved. They will also give you strength and joy for when you are feeling down.

Partake in the Things You Love:

Sometimes, when we get into new relationships, we tend to stop doing things we love. Remember the fun things you did before your relationship and start to do them again. You may also want to start a new hobby or sport. You owe it to yourself to have fun and do things that you love to do.

Write out Your Emotions:

During this break up time, you may have the urge to call your ex. Do not call them! Calling your ex will only make you sound pathetic and weak. Instead, write a letter to them and burn it. It is also a good idea to write all the pain and anger you are experiencing in a journal. Another great way to get out your feelings is to write poetry or songs. You may even find that taking a kickboxing class is a great way to release your emotions. Find what works for you.

Delete Memories:

You will never heal your broken heart if you continue to look at their picture or reread their love letters to you. However, burning all of the stuff that reminds them of you is very drastic. Instead, stick it all in a box and shove it in a closet. You do not want to get rid of this stuff just yet. You may want to look back on it later in life, or there may be a slight chance that you will both get back together.

Recovering from a broken heart is a very hard thing to do. You just have to take the process slow and one day at a time. You also need to realize how valuable you are as a person. Life will eventually move on, and the best thing for you to do is to let life move on.

What Went Wrong? When Relationships Go From Hot To Cold
Everything was great. We had been dating for 6 months. We shared the same interests, felt very at ease together, had (often) discussed future plans and had even spent some of the holidays together.

When he did, I was often met with silence on the other end of the line. When I asked "what happened", I just got a verbal run around of excuses about how busy he is and/or how much stress he is under right now. What happened? What did I do? I don't know what to think.
