Breakin 5 up: Clean break and time
with friends key to speedy recovery
Q Putting the problems
and troubles of the
relationship behind you
will help you enjoy
yourself more.
Dr. Kerry Hope
Student Counseling Services
Because humans are social
creatures, it really hurts when
relationships end.
Although we’re all unique
and have our own reactions,
people experience similar feel
ings when a relationship ends.
Though you may feel over
whelmed at times, you will no
tice that you have increasingly
longer periods of time when you
feel back to your normal self.
Although time is a necessary
component of healing, it may
help to read about some things
you can do to cope with your
feelings and, perhaps, speed
the process of getting over a
broken relationship.
It is difficult to get over a
break-up if you are not con
vinced the relationship is over.
It is painful and scary to con
front the fact that a relation
ship has not worked out the
way you planne*d it would.
Continued uncertainty may
prolong the healing process
and create its own set of
painful dilemmas.
You may be giving yourself
mixed messages about the rela
tionship’s being over because
you wish it was not. Your
partner may have similar feel
ings and could be giving you
mixed messages too.
Calling each other and con
tinuing to take care of each
other are examples of mixed
messages. Although the per
son may have been your best
friend, to try to rely on him or
her to help you through the
break-up is going to postpone
healing. Most people need a
clean break because trying to
be friends after a break-up is
too painful.
It is usually best to give
yourself time after the break
up during which you see or
talk with the person as little as
possible. Then, much later, if
you want to return to a friend
ship with that person, you may
be able to do so be
cause you will be
coming from a
stronger, healthier
foundation.
It’s important to
remember that it is
perfectly legitimate
to have positive
feelings for the per
son you’re breaking
up with and still
have good reasons for ending
the relationship.
Look to other people to fill
the void. This is a good time
to reconnect with friends you
have spent less time with in
the past.
People are often amazed at
the number of people who care
if you let them know you need
someone to support you and
someone to share your
thoughts and feelings with.
This might be a good time to
make new contacts and devel
op friendships, a time to devel
op new interests and try new
activities, a chance to get to
know yourself better.
Although you may not feel
like it, forcing yourself to get
out and be around others is an
important way to help the
healing process.
Sometimes you may actually
feel relieved that the troubles
of the relationship are behind
you. You will begin to enjoy
your life again and yet you
may feel a bit guilty when you
have these positive feelings.
This is particularly true when
you were the person who initi
ated or finalized the break-up.
Remember that the depth
and value of that past relation
ship and your love for that per
son are not measured by how
long you feel miserable.
Although the person may have
been your best friend, to try to
rely on him or her to help you
through the break-up is going to
postpone healing.

*Mandatory for all students
When relationships break
up, self-esteem can suffer.
This may be caused by not
allowing ourselves to be angry
or disappointed with the per
son with whom we are break
ing up.
Instead, we blame ourselves
for all or part of the problems
in a relationship rather than
recognizing that the responsi
bility is usually a shared
proposition.
Watch out for statements
like, “I’m no good as a result of
this break-up,” “I’ll never be
able to maintain a relation
ship,” “I’m not capable of inti
macy” or “I’ll never have a spe
cial love again.” These state
ments come out of shaky feel
ings and are not accurate.
It is important to identify
good feelings you have about
yourself. Take a look at your
positive attributes and get
some affirmation from friends
and family who think you’re
special and unique.
This is a time when it’s
easy to plunge into a depres
sion and stay there rather
than express and work
through the feelings that go
with this loss. Sadness,
anger, regret, guilt, loneliness
and disappointment are all
feelings you may experience.
You may not be able to stop
crying or have trouble sleeping
or eating. Remember that this
is temporary.
One of the worst things to
do is to quit taking care of
yourself or to use alcohol or
drugs to cope.
Alcohol is a depressant and
actually makes you more vul
nerable to feeling and acting
in ways which make things
much worse.
Eat healthy foods regular
ly, even if you don’t feel like
eating anything.
Keep a routine that in
cludes a bit of time to think
about the break-up, but also
includes plenty of time with
others and activities that will
let you get away from unpleas
ant feelings for a while. Exer
cise can help you feel better by
fighting some of the symptoms
of depression or anger and
helping you sleep better.
If you would like to talk to
someone about coping with a
break-up, contact the Student
Counseling Service, located in
Henderson Hall, at 845-4427
during business hours or call
the Student Counseling
HelpLine at 845-2700 in the
evenings.
