When he says we shouldn't be together anymore gets me crying

6/21 Edited to

... Read moreBreaking up is one of the hardest emotional experiences many people face, especially when you hear the words, "we shouldn't be together anymore." I've personally found that crying is a natural part of the healing process—it helps release the overwhelming feelings and allows you to start processing the loss. From my experience, accepting the reality while allowing yourself to feel the sadness can be more helpful than suppressing emotions. It’s okay to have days where you feel down; those moments are part of your journey towards recovery. Additionally, leaning on supportive friends or family members can make a significant difference. Sharing how you feel reduces the burden and reminds you that you're not alone. Journaling your thoughts or even creating art can also be therapeutic outlets. Another important step is to focus on self-care. Activities like gentle exercise, spending time outdoors, or engaging in hobbies help restore your sense of identity and joy outside the relationship. Remember, while the pain from hearing "we shouldn't be together anymore" is intense, it’s temporary. With time, patience, and self-compassion, you can rebuild your confidence and embrace new opportunities for happiness and growth.

Why You Shouldn’t Buy Full Sized Perfume…
When I first stated collecting fragrances the biggest misstep I made was buying full sized bottles before I truly fell in love with a fragrance. These days, with a collection of 300+ bottles, I do not buy full sized fragrances without sampling first! Many companies offer samples, minis and trav
