and on cloud nine, and the next, your world has been turned upside down by the person you trusted the most. It’s easy to feel like your life is crumbling in the moments of shock following the end of a relationship, but it’s important to remember that the pain will pass.
As far as why processing a breakup is so challenging, Nia noted that it involves a deep emotional upheaval. “When a relationship ends, you’re not just losing a partner; you’re also facing the loss of shared dreams, routines, and a part of your identity that was intertwined with that person,” she explained.
And don’t forget to take care of yourself. “Prioritize self-care by eating well, getting enough sleep, and engaging in physical activity. These basics are essential for emotional resilience,” the expert told Bored Panda. “Reflect, don’t ruminate. It’s helpful to reflect on the relationship and what you learned from it, but try to avoid dwelling on what-ifs and should-haves,” she continued.
