Heartbreak Hurts. Here’s How to Cope in a Healthy Way

Heartbreak isn’t just emotional. It can affect your sleep, appetite, energy, and even your physical health. Feeling sad, angry, confused, or withdrawn is completely normal.

Here are healthy ways to care for yourself during this time:

1. Don’t rush the healing process.
   It’s okay to grieve what you’ve lost.
2. Move your body.
   Short walks, stretching or light exercise can lift your mood and reduce stress.
3. Talk to a friend
   Talk to a trusted friend or family member. You don’t have to go through it alone.
4. Protect your peace.
   Limit social media if it makes things harder. Give your mind space to recover.
5. Seek support if needed.
   If sadness feels overwhelming or lasts a long time, consider speaking to a healthcare professional.

Healing takes time. Be gentle with yourself.
