Empty, hurt, lonely, and angry are just the tip of the emotional iceberg that a person experiences in a breakup. A relationship breakup is not only the loss of a partner but an imagined future, certainty, and a part of ourselves as well. Moving on is tough, and one can experience a whole range of difficult feelings, complicated thoughts, and obsessive behaviour patterns, which can affect one’s productivity at work, and the quality of relationships with friends and family. This is where therapy helps to overcome breakup turmoil in our life.
Different people have different ways of coping with challenges in life. Some resort to perpetual self-doubt and hopelessness of finding a similar partner again, and a few resort to negative coping behaviour to revenge, stalk and rebound relationships. Some common signs of struggle are:
Withdrawing from your near and dear ones
Overthinking about your ex
Stalking or overthinking about their current partner
Frequent emotional outbursts, not being “oneself”
Resorting to numbing emotions through drinking, smoking, drugs, rebound relationships, casual sex, binge eating, etc.
In such cases, a Breakup can lead to significant mental health concerns ranging from anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or even depression. It is very natural to expect that a relationship you invested in will not be forgotten in a short time.
