Tell me your best heartbreak cures/tips.

[MustardScreams]

Having a rough time with a long friendship/relationship coming to an end and struggling massively. What makes you feel better when all you want to do is listen to tragic music and cry?

Exercise. Reading. Boxsets. Take your mind off things by doing things you enjoy.

Get together with friends. Sleep a lot. Nice long baths and eat some nice food. Basically self care and being kind to yourself. Hope you feel better very soon x

Distraction by doing things. Starting small. Things that need to be done, things to improve health, things to comfort me. Paint a room, gardening, walks, peace. Understanding that it takes time to process and being gentle to myself as this happens.

Another thing I would add is that when I've been going through heartache in my younger years my default would be to self destruct. I'd plan loads of nights out and was constantly socialising often with booze involved. I'd trick myself into thinking I was having fun and loving the single life again but really it did me no favours.

By all means make plans if you feel up to it but try to be healthy in mind and body. That way things get easier quicker x

Just take each day as it comes. Plan some lovely things. Treat yourself. It takes time but you'll get there.
