From Broken to Beautiful
“When your phone rings do you secretly hope that it’s your ex calling to say that he misses you too?”
“Does your ex dominate most of your conversations with your friends?”
“Are you still trying to figure out what went wrong?”
“Does everything remind you of them?”
A heart break is very difficult to handle. No matter how strong, tough and sorted we are, we cannot ignore a heart break. Researchers have shown that the areas of brain that get activated when we experience a physical pain are the same areas that get activated when we experience heartbreak. It doesn’t mean that heartbreaks actually cause a physical pain but it is brain’s way of telling us that it is something crucial and should be addressed.
When we go through a break up there is a strong urge to get back to our ex. Researchers have shown that this urge is like that of a drug addict. The brain of someone withdrawing from a romantic relationship mimics the withdrawals an addict experiences on leaving a drug. In this urge we try to do everything to get our drug (ex) back; we send a text to our ex, stalk them on social media, find out if they’re dating someone else and try to become friends with them. All this leads us to feel more pain, rejection, helplessness and we get stuck in a never ending cycle of heartbreak.
HOW DOES BREAK UP AFFECT LIFE?
When a relationship breaks we do not just lose our partner but a lot more;
We lose interest in things that earlier involved our partner, because now doing those things remind us of them.
We lose our productivity in studies or work, because nothing makes sense anymore.
We lose confidence and self esteem, because we think that we are not good enough and that is why we got rejected.
We lose meaning and purpose, because our entire life and sense of self was revolving around this one person who just left us.
We lose the hope of finding someone else or being able to love ever again because we think this was our only chance.
And we also lose a part of our self.
The resulting void makes us feel immensely restless, empty and anxious. To soothe this anxiety we look for a quick fix.
Our quick fixes range from partying too much, drinking too much to taking revenge on our ex to finding someone new on dating sites. No matter how relaxing these quick fixes may feel but they never work well in the long run. No matter what we do, we keep operating from the same insecurities and keep attracting the partners that aren’t right for us until we address our emotions, resolve them and move on.
