How To Deal With Heartbreak

I'm talking about true heartbreak. This is one of those situations where no advice will help for sure. There will be times when you feel desperate and lonely. My way of overcoming might be just right for you though.


Acceptance
First of all, accept the fact that they're gone. Throw the idea of them coming back out the window, learn to be alone. Most people tend to focus on loneliness and that's what keeps them down, don't be one of them.

Let yourself feel the pain
Once you do this you will likely be even sadder, but it's alright, it's part of the healing process. This is the part where you lay down, eat sweets and cry. And don't feel bad about that you're this way, because now the way only leads up.
The next couple of days or maybe even weeks will be miserable, but you need to get through them. Go to work/school, exercise, eat properly and take care of yourself. Never, ever check your ex's social media. Spare yourself the trouble and focus on yourself. If there are still lingering feelings for them go out with friends or meet new people.

Healing
After you get through this phase is when true liberation comes. At this point you should be at peace with the past and when you look back there should only be calm.
You might not be completely healed yet, but your conscience will let you live your life the way you did before.

Now, of course, it isn't this simple to overcome a breakup. There will be times when you want to go back, when you can't handle being alone and when you can't take the silence. But you're strong and you can always turn to your friends in case of trouble. Or, if you don't, then visit 7Cups.

But whatever you do, you need to accept that this doesn't define you. Another person never should.
