What is a Breakup?
A relationship breakup, breakup, or break-up is the termination of a relationship. The act is commonly termed “dumping [someone]” in slang when it is initiated by one partner.
The term is less likely to be applied to a married couple, where a breakup is typically called a separation or divorce.
How To Heal From A Breakup in South Africa
Keep your distance.
Even if you and your ex have decided to stay friends, break away completely from each other right after the breakup.
This means not seeing each other, not being around his/her family members, no phone calls, no e-mails, no text messages, no Facebook, and no IMs. You don’t have to have to stop talking forever, but you do need to cut all communication for as long as it takes to get completely over your ex.
Organize your space.
A breakup can signify a new beginning. Therefore, cleaning and organizing your personal space will leave you feeling refreshed and prepared for the new things to come. A mess can be overwhelming and depressing, and will just add to your stress level.
Keeping busy with tidying your space doesn’t require a lot of brain power, but it does require just enough focus to keep you from recycling pain.
