Breakups may be the most painful and emotional experiences in our lives; even if it is not our fault- whether we want to break up or not- it can deal a lot of damage to both our physical and emotional health.
A breakup can turn your world upside-down, and if you are not careful, it may ruin you completely without even knowing what happened, and you are left with nothing but pain and regret.
Even though a relationship isn't good, you still feel pain when you separate from your significant other. It represents a loss in your relationship and all the dreams and commitments you and your partner shared.
Romance sometimes begins with excitement and hopes for the future, so where do you go when a relationship fails? You are left with nothing but a void in your heart; only disappointment, grief, and stress remain.
A breakup launches you into an unknown territory where you are isolated; nothing seems to be going well with you. Your relationship with others, your home, and your work is disrupted because your mind is not stable enough to manage things.
Your mind is uncertain of the future; what will your life be like from now on? Was it your fault? Are you enough/worth it? These questions will be in your mind for a long time, and you will find yourself constantly repeating the same questions over and over.
You are trapped in a never-ending circle, and you don't know what to do anymore.
Recovering from a breakup may take some time, and it may not be easy, but you must remind yourself that you can and will get through that experience because staying in it will only hurt you more, learn to move on with a new sense of hope and optimism for the future.
When coping with breakups, you must recognize that it is ok to have different feelings; it is normal to feel sad, exhausted, angry, frustrated, and confused- even if these feelings are tense.
Sometimes you will feel anxious about the future, but you should accept the reactions will lessen over time as you heal.
Learn to give yourself a break, permit yourself to function, and feel at a less optimal level than you usually do, but only for a short period.
After a breakup/divorce, you will not be able to function as expected, and you will be less productive in your work; we are all human, and what makes us human is the fact that we have feelings; we all need time to heal, regroup and find energy.
Instead of staying alone, being depressed, share your feelings with your family and friends because this will help you get out of this period.
You could also join a support group to share your feelings with people who have had the same experiences as you had.
Isolating yourself won't do you any good; it will only raise your stress levels, reduce your concentration level, and get in the way of your work, relationships, health, and life. It would help if you never were afraid to seek help from others, especially when you are not in your best situation.
Grief is natural to all humans, and it is our minds telling us that we have lost something, and breakups involve the loss of so many things.
. The loss of your companion and the person you shared all your experiences, dreams, and goals with.
. Loss of the person who supported you when you were not in your best times, even when you were in a financial, social, or emotional crisis, they supported you.
Your partner was always there for you, so who do you go to now that they are gone.
Permitting yourself to feel the pain may be scary sometimes, and you will fear your emotions will be too intense or that you will be stuck in a dark place forever.
Remember that grieving is essential in healing yourself; the pain of grief helps you recover from breakups and problems, and no matter how intense your grief may be, it will never last forever.
Remind yourself that you still have a future; even if all your hopes and dreams with your partner are over, remember that you can still fulfill any dream you set out to accomplish even if your partner is no longer with you.
Encourage yourself with the hope that new dreams and goals with replace the new ones.'
It can be challenging to come to terms with a divorce/breakup, and don't expect to bounce back to your usual self immediately.
Ask anyone who has gone through a breakup, and they will tell you that even if there are bad days, good days will eventually come in the end.
"It may be easy to say it is over, but it may take years to understand it."

Yes, a break up takes time to heal. This is not only the break up of husband and wife, I think break ups in any other relationship is very painful and it requires a huge time to heal up.
