What is the best thing to do after a break-up?

For me that best thing to do is to move on... and for me to move on, I need to go out and see the brighter side of the world. Yes, I would probably let out some tears especially if the person I just have to leave really meant so much for me, but crying out too much is no good at all. also you had to learn how to forget the sad memories you had so you could appreciate the beauty of the world again.

I think for me personally it all depends upon how serious the relationship was.. But also how much the person had truly meant to me.. If I was with the person for a rather long period of time I know that I will be rather down in the dumps.. I know that after breaking up with someone whom I truly loved that it sometimes becomes rather difficult to want to move on.. I know in the past when I've broken up with someone or someone had broken up with me that.. The things I try to do is.. I try to reach out to the people whom I love, as well as the people who I know I can trust.. I think being able to have someone to confide in after breaking up with someone is very important for one to have.. I think being able to converse with someone about your emotions is a way that one can feel like they will be able to get through this.. No matter how devastated they may be about the break up in the first place. I know that for me personally when I've been able to open up to someone & talk about my emotions.. Especially with someone who I know I can trust.. That I end up feeling a little bit better afterwards.. I mean if I would have ended up bottling up my emotions instead of talking to someone during those difficult times in my life.. That I wouldn't have been able to have moved on, but as well as become a stronger person in thee end. In the past I've even done things such as.. Making a diary or even a book of a collection of all my thoughts & feelings as I was trying to move on after the relationship.. I found that after each day I would allow myself to set a goal of ways that I can move on as well.. I know that being able to express your thoughts & feelings after a relationship is very important for one to do.. I also know when I have done this it has truly helped me out a great deal.. Sometimes afterwards you look back at these books or diary's you had helped to crate.. And you can see how much you've grown over a while & how much stronger you are from having to go through something such as this at some point in your life. I have done things such as pampering myself as well.. I will do things such as going out & getting myself a massage from a professional.. Or taking a day to go to a spa.. I've even done things such as having a nice hot relaxing bubble bath.. By buying bubble bath, or by putting lavender within the bath water.. Sometimes even lighting candles.. I think being able to do this is very important after a relationship has ended.. Sometimes you need to make more time for yourself, & doing things that help to relax you.. As they help to take your mind off of things for a while.. I've even rented movies that I could relate to.. Or movies that I felt we're similar to the emotions I was feeling at that current time.. I'd sometimes even buy a few snacks or things to have during the movie.. Comfort foods if you will.. Sometimes I'd watch them alone, or with someone close to me whom I could trust.. I'd also cry during these movies.. I think being able to relate to something is very important after a break up.. Also being able to let your emotions out is very healthy to do as well instead of bottling everything up within yourself.. I've also found sometimes by helping others helps me to feel a lot better after I have had to break up with someone.. I find it's best to divert your attention to others because sometimes being able to help another person makes you feel a lot better about the person you are.. Knowing that you have the ability to help another human-being out there in this world is a rather very rewarding feeling.. At least this is what I have found personally! In conclusion.. All of the things I had listed above have been things I have found to be very helpful after a break up.. I find by keeping yourself or even staying busy, it helps a person out a great deal. As it helps one to get there mind off of things.. Also I've found that a little time has helped to heal my wounds as well.. I think after a break up it's best to remember as well that sooner or later the pain will fade.. And that experience would have helped to not only make you a much stronger person in thee end..
