Moving On After A Toxic Relationship
Getting over a relationship can be very difficult and heartbreaking. Often times, when it comes to ending toxic relationships, half of your heart is telling you to stay away from your ex, while the other half wants to keep a close watch on his whereabouts. Definitely, you know what choice is good for you. Toxic relationships aren't just bad, in other cases, they can be damaging as well.
Also, getting revenge may come to your mind or set up your own blog where you can rant and rave about your toxic relationship and how you feel about your boyfriend. Perhaps it's a good way to let go of bad emotions and get some advice from those who would ever read your blog. But it's, most of the time, just a waste of time and energy. Allowing people to show your out of control? Not a good idea. So what should you do to end a toxic relationship?
Get those tears out. Crying alone in your room could help, but you can surely do better than that. Get those tears out in a movie! Ask a friend or two to watch a movie with you and when the mushy part sets in, cry it all out. Your friends probably wouldn't care if you cry even by just seeing two polar bears snuggling up, it is a mushy moment after all.
Under no circumstances should you call him. Remember, this relationship was toxic. As much as you may yearn to hear his voice, think of the phone as a transmitter for those poisonous relationship toxins to seep back into your system. The longer you can go without dialing him up or seeing him face-to-face, the stronger you will grow.
Make a list of the good and the bad. The physicality of a list will help you put the true nature of the relationship into a more realistic perspective. When you can actually linger over all those bad things he did to you or all those stupid things you fought over, you are more likely to think reasonably and want to move on. Score one for the angel!
Find a sports or any activity for your pent-up energy. Let the stress off your body and do something that's meaningful for you. Play tennis, learn photography, etc. These activities will make your mind wander about something else and also will let the creativity out in you. Once you've done it, you'll be able to have a much clearer mind and better point of view.
Babble things out with your friends of any family member who knows about your relationship. They will surely listen to anything you want to say and might give you some pointers, especially those who have been through toxic relationships as well.
Breakups are unfortunately, a universal part of life, and many of us may go through a toxic relationship at some point. It's okay to grieve and it's okay to cry. It's okay to feel anxiety, depression and stress. Don't beat yourself up, and most importantly, don't give up on dating!
