5 valuable Tips against lovesickness

What should you do when your relationship looks like a shambles and the Heartbreak getting bigger and bigger? How can we learn to let go of our shared past? And what tips for heartbreak really help? We have collected five practical tips for broken hearts and tell you how to overcome the pain.

1. end the contact

The first step is the most difficult. But if you take the Process separation from your ex-partner as well as possible you should stop all communication with him. End the contact and do not try to find out what he is doing or how he feels through mutual friends and acquaintances. Because every attempt at contact involves the silent Hopethat he might change his mind after all and you might get back together.

Not your ex-partner has ended the relationship, but you? In this case, too, you should avoid contact for the time being out of respect. The person who is faced with a fait accompli is usually hit harder. That's why it doesn't help if you break up but keep in touch. And what was that again about "staying friends"? In principle, this is possible, but in many cases it is rather difficult. Because a broken heart can't just switch from "love relationship" mode to friendship mode. Instead, let the dust settle and avoid direct and indirect contact with your ex-partner. This may be a drastic step, but it will help you to reacquaint yourself with yourself and get your feet firmly back on the ground soon enough.

2. let the pain out

Unrequited love and a broken heart are painful. That's why you should give yourself time to heal the wound in your own way. Let your feelings out. Cry if you feel like it. Eat what you feel like. And give yourself time off so that your body and mind can understand and cope with the loss. At the same time, it's important not to get too wrapped up in the pain. Let it out, but then come back to life stronger!

3. do not sink into self-pity

And that brings us to the third point: it is not uncommon for the abandoned person to feel like a victim and sink into self-pity. However, you should avoid this at all costs to protect your Self-esteem not fundamentally destroy you. Just because your ex-partner and you will not continue your life together does not mean that you are not worth loving. A breakup can have an infinite number of reasons. It simply means that a new chapter is now starting. Let out your heartbreak pain, but don't sink into grief! Try to accept the breakup. Because Acceptance is the most effective way to soon regain your courage.

4. dare a new beginning

Now it's time to start over. Realize that the breakup also brings positive qualities for you and that you are ready to start anew. People are adaptable and you too can adjust to the new situation and make the best of it. Don't get lost in the heartbreak. Don't give up, fight your way back into life! Take as much time as you need to do this. Some people get over heartbreak after a few days, others take months. Go at your own pace and trust your inner voice.

5. reflect on your ex-relationship

Once the heartbreak subsides, you should rationally reflect on your ex-relationship again: Why didn't it work out? What did you learn about yourself? What could you do differently or better in your next relationship? Every breakup is a chance to learn. Recognize the mistakes you don't want to make again and make peace with yourself. Take these insights into your new relationship. And who knows, maybe your next partnership will last the rest of your life this way. We wish it to you from the bottom of our hearts.
