Being dumped ……ever spent sleepless nights trying to analyze what you did wrong? Ever been so confused with what is real and what is not?

Being dumped ……ever feel like your entire world has just turned upside down? Feel like dying?

During the first few days after being dumped, I felt everything…. shock, anger, rejection, resentment, self pity, revenge, pride, despair, loneness, sadness, guilt and fear. I found it impossible to get out of bed; my body ached and I had a strong desire to sleep for the next 100 years!

While there have been many break ups in my life, the one that left me totally devastated happened about 2 years ago (2 years, 3 months & 12 days to be exact! Glory details of the break up will follow in another post, stay tuned!) The fact that I am here, writing this.. yes, I did get out of bed at some point.

Learning how to get over a break up is never easy

Just because you have been through a similar situation doesn’t necessarily mean it will be less painful, the next time a break up happens. Even if you have been dumped n times, each time it will feel like the first time.

Being dumped: The Half Truth

Depending on how much you love(d) the person, the length of the relationship etc. the pain can make you numb. At the end of the day, you have to deal with the pain, and learn to get on with your life. No one else can do that for you.

“If it doesn`t kill you, it will only make you stronger.”

Being dumped: Nothing Like The Truth

Endless conversations with close friends, relationship experts, books and advice columns…They all tell you the same darn thing:

It takes time to get over it!

It certainly does, but that’s probably the last thing you want to hear when you are going through a break up; and happiness doesn’t even seem to be in your radar. I know the biggest revenge is to just be happy—and I am! With each day that becomes closer and closer to enough.
