Your relationship is over and you really don't know how to keep on keeping on. How do you keep going now that the love of your life has gone and your relationship has ended?
There is nothing fun at all about being dumped. This is a situation no one wants to find him or herself in. But to try to keep on going and pretend that nothing is wrong when your world feels like it's falling apart can seem like just a little bit too much to deal with sometimes. So what can you do to keep going when your relationship is over so that the world doesn't leave you behind?
The first thing you need to do at a time like this is get up the next morning as if it was any other day. In fact, if you keep doing this, morning after morning, you'll eventually reach a point where you don't have to keep telling yourself to get up in the morning and to take one step after another until you've managed to get through your day. These days can be completely brutal and life draining but they are important. They let you know (and your ex for that matter) that you are, indeed, a survivor.
Friends do make it easier to face those lonely nights so go out and enjoy spending time with your friends. You might have to fake it at first and pretend to be having a good time in order to avoid bringing everyone else down. The more you pretend to be having fun though the greater the chance is that you'll actually have a moment of clarity where you realize you're not pretending the entire time. With practice these moments will happen more and more frequently. It takes effort like this to reach a point where you can even entertain the idea that you can get your ex back once and for all.
But there's one other thing you need to do in order to keep going after you've been dumped. That thing is to invest in yourself. You spend so much of your time and energy doing things for other people. Whether it's work, family, friends, or former lovers. Now it's time to invest your own time and energy into making yourself the person you want to be.
Everyone has something they'd like to change about themselves. It can be education, travel, appearance, self-confidence, or countless other things. Whatever it is you want to change it's time to make that change. This might help you save your relationship with your ex or even make future relationships that much better.
