Girlfriends’ Guide to a Break-Up

Break-up’s are difficult to handle, and vary from person to person. There’s that person that doesn’t really think about it, and those that cry, and those that are constantly texting their now ex hoping for some answers. If you’re any of these people just know that it’s okay. There’s no one size fits all for handling a break-up, but here’s some helpful tips as told by the Grey’s Anatomy cast.

It’s okay to feel lost. This is very normal because this is the person you talked to every day for years, and shared everything with them. Without them in your life anymore it’s normal to not really understand what’s happening with your life.You're going to blame yourself, and you'll go over every single thing that happened and think "Why didn't I say something different? What would things be like now?"

Loneliness will come and go throughout different stages. Recognize it, and surround yourself with people that love you.

Frustration will also come and go. You’ll want to throw things, hit things, and just give up on everything. Embrace the anger, but don’t let it consume you.

Go out with your friends. I mean don’t get like super hammered, but why be sober either?'

Don't be the girl that keeps checking his social media to see what he's been posting about. Definitely don't try to contact his friends to try and figure out what happened either.

The Lexie Grey stage… Eating every time you’re stressed. This will happen, and you shouldn’t feel bad about it unless you’ve gained like 20 pounds.

Each person arrives, and passes through each of these stages. This pain you're feeling doesn't always get easier, and sometimes you still may want to scream. Even after months you may just breakdown one night because all you can do is look through old pictures.

Don't think too far into the future. Don't worry about the concert you got him tickets to, or if you'll ever get married now. Take each day as a new, and easier day.

Not every break-up is the same, but it's important to surround yourself with people that love you, keep yourself occupied, and remember that every day you wake up it gets easier. If it's meant to be it will be. I know how cheesy that sounds, but it's true. Give yourself and your ex some time to think things over, and then talk it out. If you figure things out then that's great. If you agree to part ways that's okay too. Just remember Grey's Anatomy will always be here for you.
