People who have survived heartbreak…how’d you do it?

It’s been a week since the person I love told me they realized they don’t love me back after 8 months together, and that they still love their ex from before me. I oscillate between devastated and enraged—both with lots of crying.

If you’ve survived a heartbreak, how did you do it? Were you able to love again? Be happy again? When did it stop hurting so bad? Is there another side to come out on?

Love to all 💓❤️🫶🏻

It gets worse before it gets better! You'll be fine. I've had my fair share of heart breaks. Heart break teaches you things that you will never learn otherwise. A piece of advice, don't wallow in bed. Get up early, hit the gym, eat right and do what makes you happy. Initially it will be hard and one day you'll notice it does not hurt as much. The grass is definitely greener on the other side. Learn to be your own best friend first! Sending love xx
