Heartbreak: What to Do When You Can't Stop Crying

You've been through a lot these past few months. Your heart's been broken twice, and you can't seem to stop crying. You're exhausted and overwhelmed, and you don't know what to do.

We feel you. Losing someone you love is one of the most painful experiences you can go through. But there is hope. You can get through this.

In this article, we'll share some tips on how to cope with heartbreak and how to start healing. We'll also offer some words of encouragement because we believe that you can make it through this.

Acknowledge Your Feelings

It's normal to feel overwhelmed after a breakup. You're experiencing a range of intense emotions, from sadness and loneliness to anger and betrayal. All of these feelings are valid, and it's important to allow yourself to feel them.

Don't try to bottle up your emotions or ignore them. Face them head-on. Cry if you need to. Scream into a pillow. Let it all out. The more you suppress your feelings, the longer they'll stay bottled up and the harder it will be to move on.

Get Rid of Reminders of Your Ex

The longer you keep reminders of your ex around, the longer it'll take for you to heal. So, start by getting rid of anything that's triggering those memories and making you feel upset.

This could be anything from clothes to photos to books. If it was important to your relationship, it's important to getting over it. But if it's not serving a purpose anymore, why keep it around?

It might be tough at first, but it'll be worth it in the long run. The less you see of your ex, the less power they'll have over you.

Give Yourself Time to Heal

Give yourself time to heal. This is probably the most important thing you can do. Just because he/she has moved on, doesn't mean you have to immediately. You are allowed to grieve the loss of the relationship. And, it's okay if you need help to get through this tough time.

There is no shame in seeking out therapy or counseling. In fact, it can be really beneficial. A therapist can help you work through your emotions and develop a plan to move forward. They can also provide support and guidance during this difficult time.

If you're not ready to see a therapist, that's okay too. There are other things you can do to help yourself heal. Maybe you need to talk to a friend or family member about what you're going through. Or, maybe you need to take some time for yourself and do things that make you happy.

Whatever you do, just make sure you give yourself the time and space you need to heal.

Stay Busy and Distracted

One of the best things you can do when you’re going through a tough time is to stay busy and distracted. This can be really hard to do, especially if you’re used to being in a relationship and now find yourself with a lot of free time. But it’s important to try to keep your mind off of things as much as possible.

A good way to do this is to fill your schedule with things that you enjoy or that make you feel good. This could be anything from working out to taking a cooking class. If you can find things that make you feel good and keep your mind occupied, you’ll be in a much better place mentally and emotionally.

Closing Thought

In the end, the most important thing is to be gentle with yourself. Heartbreak is hard, and there is no shame in taking the time you need to grieve. Lean on your friends and family, and if you need help, don't hesitate to reach out. With time, the pain will lessen, and you'll be able to move on.
