Breakups are hard.
It could be your first and or your twentieth, but either way, it's heart-wrenching! Having been through plenty myself, I've noticed a trend of habits and activities that I take up post-breakup that have helped me cope through it. Maybe my list of "post-breakup feel betters" will help you cope during this time of stress, or maybe it will help you think of activities to add to your own list!
