As pretentious as this is gonna sound, it's true; Pain demands to be felt.
Emotional pain is just as painful as physical pain, if not more. The heaviness on you chest, the lump in your throat, not wanting to eat or get out of bed, and unlike physical wounds, there's not much to do to treat it.
Sometimes it's better to just, feel it. Cry it out. It's extremely hard but it will pass.
Learn from the pain. Figure out what hurt you so you don't put yourself through that again. Allow the pain to teach you what kinds of people to stay away from.
Don't let the pain linger. You get what you allow. So don't allow the pain to stay. You need a lot of strength for this ; you were born with this strength, you will find it; but you must accept what you can't change and let go.
I myself have yet to master the art of letting go.
This pain is for you better. This is the pain of growth, change, moving forward.
I found the pain of letting go much better than the pain of staying where I was.
Talk to people. A therapist, your parents, your friends, strangers on the Internet, anyone. Let it out.
Do not change yourself with this pain. The worst thing to do it make someone else feel the pain you did, even if it is the person who hurt you. They don't deserve your energy. Do not message them. Do not post thing on insta to make them jealous.
Mute their stories and posts. Avoid them completely.
This is gonna make you into a better person.
