Overcoming a breakup is one of the most frequent demands in the psychology office, and there are those who feel lost, alone and unable to recover their spirits.
For those who have not experienced it firsthand, it may be hard to believe that they can be more saddened by a breakup than by a major obstacle such as losing a job, an illness or the death of a loved one. However, emotions don’t always know priorities.
Don’t let a breakup affect your daily routine.
Although we can’t measure sadness, it’s important to control how homesickness affects our routine. After sharing so much with someone, it’s hard to move on when you lose them, but we must keep in mind that our happiness is too important to leave it in any hands other than your own.
