If you are sent into a tailspin every time you see your ex’s text thread or when your ex’s photos appear on Instagram’s “explore” function, it’s time to take a digital detox. If you can’t completely detox from tech for a bit, at least monitor how it’s making you feel. Keep Your Thumbs In CheckĪ breakup may happen IRL or on your phone, but breakups echo in Instagram, text message threads and inboxes. And just know that it won’t last forever. Remember that rush of falling in love? Heartbreak induces the opposite feeling, so be patient with yourself and acknowledge that it’s normal and human to feel like absolute shit. When getting over a breakup, going through it feels a lot like withdrawal because you’re no longer getting all of those happy feel-good hormones (endorphins! oxytocin!) from your partner. Stop yourself in your tracks with this mantra: “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Acknowledge Any Feelings Of Withdrawal If you’re comparing how you’re doing with how it appears your ex is doing or how you think you should be doing, it means you’re spending too much energy and time comparing. We won’t say “avoid the comparison game,” because it’s inevitable, but keep it in check (especially on Instagram!) Set yourself up on the road to recovery with these 11 tips from Mend app founder Elle Huerta. Here are 11 tips to try if you’re tired of your friends telling you, “It just takes time.” So, if you find yourself newly single and getting over a breakup, know that there are plenty of people in the trenches of heartbreak right along with you. The holidays tend to bring our romantic relationships into focus, placing us square in the middle of both cuffing season and breakup season.
