Getting Support

Maybe you spent ten years together or perhaps it was only one, but you loved this person with all your heart and now it's over.

You're devastated.

You're depressed.

You feel like your life has lost its purpose entirely.

Your emotions at this time are, not one of them, good or happy ones.

And, yes, of course, you will need time to yourself to run the break up through your mind and to actually realize that your old romantic relationship IS OVER.

But try not to overdo things by spending too much time alone. The sooner you get out and move around with others, the sooner you will start to realize or, better said, remember that you are an amazing individual and that it is necessary to move on with your own life.

Talk to family and friends -- chances are that someone else has been through what you are going right now. Learning how they dealt with it would be a lesson in how you can pick up the pieces.

At the same time, join a support group that will be able to give you some closure on your loss, a new direction to your thoughts.

You may find such groups online or even better, you may be able to locate them at your nearest community center, and thus get out of the house.

If your loss is irreparable, meet with other people who are also feeling loss. The chances are that there are many ways that you will be able to arrive at the closure you need, and by doing this you will be around people who understand how you feel and you will be able to make new friends.

Now, considering you were so shattered by your loss and hence there is the necessity of joining a support group, this may not be an ideal forum to actually immediately start seeing someone.

Move around and mingle by all means, but give yourself enough time to heal. Don't go looking for more heartbreak that you really don't need.

Love is all encompassing -- it comes to each of us in one of its forms -- not always the way we wanted it to be...
