Having a Broken Heart

Having been on the receiving end of a broken heart, I can attest that it brings on mental pain that can be a little hard to over come. It can change your viewpoint on the world and also cause a whole mess of emotions. In my experience, it causes one to withdraw from the world around them. One moves around as if on autopilot. Daily routines are done and objectives are complete, though it can feel as if it is mundane and trivial at best. Things feel real yet like a dream all at the same time. This would typically lead to confusion on my part and wondering if I did the things I did.

Days can turn into weeks without batting an eyelash. Pain is what fuels you to keep going, and the feeling of being judged for what happened is on a high note. Not wanting to tell others what you are experiencing can add to the havoc that one is dealing with. It brings up thoughts like "No one wants to hear my problems.", or "No one cares what I am going through."

Time is needed when dealing with heartbreak. It takes time to sift through the different emotions and feelings to get to a moment of peace and clarity. This process can span over a long period of time, that can be shortened with the help of a friend. Having a friend that sits and listens to you as you spill out all of the emotions welling up inside of you does wonders. They provide an outlet for one to work through the piles of your mind.

One thing to remember is that a broken heart doesn't just go away. It takes time for a person to heal from that damage though the pain will always be lingering in the background waiting for a trigger or a memory to bring up the trauma of that one relationship. As the years go on, one can find ways to get past these feelings and be able to go about their day without referring back to the pain.

One recommendation I offer is: Find that one friend who is your rock. Find that one person who can help you find the path through life's pain and struggles. Be there for them and let them be there for you. Allow them to help you find peace with what you are dealing with. Who knows, maybe they will come at a time when you need someone the most. At a time when you are at your lowest and on the edge of your mental cliff. They just might save your life. I know mine did. He couldn't have come at a better time for me.

In conclusion, heartbreak is something that anyone can deal with throughout their lifetime. It may happen only once, or it may happen multiple times. When it does happen, emotions and feelings will come raining down. One should allow themselves enough time to deal with it, instead of shoving it into the background of their mind to fester and grow. A friend can offer a much needed assistance to allow for a reprieve from the weight of what one is going through. With the help of someone you trust, you can move through the struggles of life gaining knowledge needed to get past future obstacles.

Life brings us many challenges, heartbreak being one of them. All we can do it build our arsenal of knowledge and skills to combat these challenges in order to move forward on their path of life. With the battles of life coming our way every day, we need to do all we can to get past the next hurdle in order to take it one day at a time.
