Remedy for a Broken Heart

Whether it may have been by a friend, a crush, a boyfriend or even a spouse, we’ve all have gotten our heart broken at least once. We have all experienced the epidemic disease characterized by long nights of crying and lonesome days wondering what we could’ve done differently. People call it “heartbreak disease”.

The pathology of this disease has been widely studied, yet it seems like we haven’t discover a way to eradicate it. There might not be a cure for heartbreak disease, but there are some remedies I’ve collected through time that would certainly help on relieving the symptoms on what may actually be a “psychological disorder”. We forget, we move on, and it’s gone.

I, just like you, have gotten my heart broken more than one time. It was not easy, but no matter how excruciating the pain, and how intense the symptoms may be, time does make it better.

Here is a list of things that have helped me.

1 1.    Surround yourself with fun, positive and caring friends. You need a good crowd for those times when you feel like crying, or need to talk to someone. 

2 2.    Perform some type of exercise, it will make you feel so much better as when you run, your body releases endorphins. These chemicals trigger a positive feeling in the body by interacting with some receptors in the brain which as a result lower your perception of pain, and make you feel positive and have a better outlook on life. 

3 3.    No matter the negative thoughts you get about the person that broke your heart, DO NOT express them. Not saying them will be hard at first but soon it will become a habit and at some point they will be gone.

4 4.    Remember there is nothing wrong with you. There are billions of people in this world and each and every one of us has something unique to offer. If that person couldn’t appreciate you then they are not worth your time.

5 5.    Take time to pamper yourself! Now you have more time to enjoy!

6 6.    Go out with your friends; socialize! 

        Alcohol is never the answer but mingling with others is!

        Don’t ostracize yourself!

7 7.    Something that has particularly helped me is energizing and motivating others. Be the change you want to see in the world. Be positive, support those around you, and motivate them by example. If you have nothing to say, sometimes just being supportive of your friends and reminding them how great they actually are will help them. They will be happy and that in return will make you happy!

8 8.    Most importantly, no matter how sad you may feel, don’t get lost!

      People like me, that may be dealing with temporary or chronic depression, anxiety, fatigue, stress among other things are more inclined to be negative, lose motivation, and lose traits of their unique personality. Try to find yourself; it is an ongoing process. Everyday, tell yourself who you are and why you are so valuable. 

      Life is beautiful; so don’t waste time being sad!

I hope this helps you!
