The crushing hurt you feel when your heart is breaking can make you feel as though your world is at an end.
Take heart - this has happened to most everyone. The experience is not new. Other people have got through it fine even if it takes a while.
You will hurt emotionally for a while. You have invested time and energy with a person - you built a relationship - it is not easy to just drop it and forget all about it.
Its okay to cry and sulk - just not for too long.
Treat yourself as your new best friend. Pamper yourself when the hurt is at its worst. If you tend to hide for a while when things have become overwhelming - let yourself.
Acknowledge the hurt but don't let it consume you.
When you have healed a bit - don't assume every man/woman is the same or like your ex.
Look after yourself - do some things you wanted to do, have long baths, read some books - find yourself a little so you are not needy.
It is not often that Mr Right turns up the first time you are in love. That relationship may be over - but it has opened the door for that potential Mr Right.
