Overcome a breakup

 Overcoming a breakup in a relationship  This may take time to fully process the end of a romantic relationship. Identifying what you want from a future relationship and acknowledging the importance of your past. One of the  key steps in helping you move forward. Most people would agree you generally can’t help who you fall in love with. But in some circumstances, you might wish that weren’t the case. Specially when you have come out of abusive relationship. The last thing you want is anyone dumping you over the phone and not facing you in person. Maybe you love someone who doesn’t feel the same way about you. Which also can be hurtful. The longing that accompanies one-sided love can affect emotional and mental well-being and cause a lot of discomfort and depression. This is not a way to be either. I know from experience.  Or perhaps you love someone who continually demonstrates they don’t have your best interests at heart. Maybe you and a partner love each other int...

 Mending a broken heart https://www.deviantart.com We all go through a negative experience of relationships including friendships that fail. It not our fault that someone doesn’t want to acknowledge your feelings but rather not face their issues and dump on you. That is what you call a toxic relationship with friends or sexual relationships. This behaviour is not acceptable or appropriate. So how can we mend our hearts from being hurt by someone else?  1. Self kindness  2. Care for Yourself- do something kind  3. Talk positively towards yourself regardless of the negativity they bring. 4. Remind yourself it’s their problem not yours. 5. Have a good cry 😭  When they talk negatively about you or towards others it is toxic behaviour and it is not acceptable at all!  So walk away from those people who talk negatively towards you and bully you. You are stronger than them and they know it. You just need to remember you are a strong person regardless of the negat...

Toxic relationships how to get past them

Toxic relationships how to get past them   A  healthy relationship, everything just kind of   works . Sure, you may disagree from time to time or come upon other bumps in the road. Still, you generally make decisions together, openly discuss any problems that arise, and genuinely enjoy each other’s company.   Toxic relationships are another story. In an unhealthy relationship, you may consistently feel drained or unhappy after spending time with your partner, according to relationship therapist  Jor-El Caraballo .  This may suggest that some things need to change.  Maybe the relationship no longer feels enjoyable, though you still love your partner. For some reason, you always seem to rub each other the wrong way or can’t seem to stop arguing over minor issues. You might even dread seeing them, instead of looking forward to it as you did in the past. Healing from toxic relationships by Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD  What are the signs of a tox...
