NomiMalone Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) What are things that make coping a tiny bit less unbearable for you? Do you put on the sad ballads and allow yourself to feel and wallow in the grief? Do you prefer to keep as busy as possible to distract yourself from your thoughts? Do you throw away everything in your home that reminds you of them? I’ll start: -I let myself be a sloth around the house, treat myself to my favourite foods. -I distract myself with easy to read novels I can get lost in. -I remove everything that reminds me of them from my sight (hide things away in cupboards or throw them out). -I vent to a friend I can confide honestly in.

d0nnivain Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Those are all excellent healing techniques. Keeping busy helps. One thing I did once that was awesome was blast tunes like "Love Stinks" and other sort anti-relationship songs. Then I mounted a photo of my EX on a dart board & threw darts until I obliterated his face. A friend helped & we danced around drinking wine & eating chocolate while we did it. I have also shredded articles of clothing EXs bought me. Granted neither of those are super healthy ways of coping but they let the pain out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
