If you're currently dealing with a broken heart, you may not be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. There is one, but it is not always as quick as you'd like it to be. You were in love, or still are, and are dealing with it. You've heard people talk about it before, or you've experienced it yourself, but here it is again: heartbreak.

In the morning, you wake up and immediately feel this form of anxiety take over your whole body; the kind of anxiety that cripples you and makes it hard to get out of bed. You think about that person, and suddenly a dark cloud looms over your head once more.

Somehow you pick yourself up and head towards the shower, where you turn the water on a little too hot and just let it hit your back as you rest your head against the shower wall. You cry a little, or you stand there in silence, and move about your shower routine slowly.

As your day goes on, you meet with friends or family who seem to have it all put together, but in the back of your mind you're feeling sorry for yourself, and suddenly an image of the other person's face comes to mind. You feel the tears start to form behind your eyes, but you try to hold your composure.

When you head back home, you put on comfortable clothes and make some tea and try to relax. Instead, the overwhelming thought of talking to this person continues to antagonize you. Should you text them? Should you pretend they don't exist? We know deep down the correct answer if they broke your heart, but that is the decision you have to make.

Hours seem to go by as you sit there and sulk. This seems to be never-ending. Eventually, you just go to bed. You may fall asleep, or your mind will get cluttered with thoughts, therefore making it impossible to sleep.

This cycle seems to go on for a while. You cry at your once favorite romance movies. Eating at certain restaurants doesn't feel the same anymore. Hearing a certain song can make you burst into tears at any moment. Everything in sight reminds you of them.

Then one day, it starts to get a little easier. It may be weeks or months, or even a year, but things seem to get a little brighter. You start to enjoy those restaurants again. Getting coffee by yourself does not seem so bad anymore. You still miss the company of that person, but you realize now that maybe there was a reason after all that this happened.

If you're currently experiencing heartbreak or have gone through it in the past, you know these feelings all too well. It takes time, but eventually the ship will sail.
