What do you do to make yourself feel better when you've been dumped?

Answer 1

First of all, you need to assess the situation. That's best done by taking a piece of paper (8 1/2 x 11), draw a line down the middle and title one side Pro and the other Con. This just means that you are going to list all the good things that will come about because you're rid of this person (Pro) and list the things that are bad for you (Con) because you're now rid of this person. Chances are, if you're honest with yourself, the Pros will far outweigh the Cons and you should be able to think a little straighter after you've done it.

Second thing is to make sure you are taking care of your health. One of the things you should be taking daily is a multi vitamin along with at least 2500 mcg (that's micrograms) of Vitamin B-12

B-12 is known as the "mood" changer and really does help people get out of the black despair brought on when someone dumps you.

You need to get a good amount of daily exercise and eat very carefully so as not to overload your system with junk. If you're tired when you get up you are probably going to bed too late. The rule is very simple: go to bed the day before you wake up. Our best rest comes in the hours before midnight.

All this stuff is plain common sense but the devastation of someone dumping you can really cause a lot of problems if you just don't make up your mind to keep things going sensibly until the shock wears off.

Please be advised that I am NOT a health care professional and am not trying to prescribe anything for you except a common sense approach to getting your life back. I have been known as the neighborhood vitamin "freak" since 1970 simply because I have spent an enormous amount of time trying to educate myself about maintaining better health since that time.

Keep yourself busy, busy, busy! If you study, study way more. If you work work more. Have something planned for every day of the week. Get home, take a bubble bath with ligthed candles and nice soft music. Pamper yourself. Buy nice lotions that smell great! Buy clothes that before you didn't. Maybe change your hair color. If you had it black, get it red or light brown with highlights. Get your nails done. Go to a SPA. Plan a vacation with friends. Get rid of all his things, delete his number from your cell phone and allow yourself time to grieve in private while looking fabulous for the next guy. However give yourself about 6 months before you start dating again....

Know that you got rid of a weight off your shoulders & live life freely enjoy it while it lasts. but let me tell you how I got over it, the first thing to keep in mind is DON'T EVER force yourself to get over it, do whatever you feel like doing, go wherever you want to go. if you feel like crying, let it out don't hold it in. & don't try any kind of methods just let yourself be, TIME is the best medicine. One day you miss him so much, tomorrow you think about him less, the next day you think just a bit of him, then one day you won't even think about him at all. Life goes on, enjoy it.

they say comfort food, sad movies (if ya need a good cry but cant get the tears rolling 'pay it forward' is a great film to watch, got it all off my chest after that one!) and a good bloody cry! tho i think doing pro active things helps much more, like going for a good brisk walk in your lunch break or the gym with a friend after work, even playing ball with the dog! this will release all those feel good endorphins and have ya bouncing back in no time! keep ya chin up lovely x

Answer 8

First of all, cry...alot...while listening to sad love songs and wondering "what if?" Then, realize you are way better, that the other person is not worth your tears, and get angry. Alanis Morrisette's "You oughta know" helps with this process. Then get fixed up and go out with your girlfriends. Getting hit on by much hotter guys helps you realize it was never worth it to waste your time on the other person.
