SURVIVE GETTING DUMPED
Getting dumped sucks. You can recover, believe it or not... and Myjellybean.com is here to help. If you've lost someone who was very important to you and now you find yourself unable to move on, it's time to get your life back! Get started with these steps:
You may feel really moody and low right now, but if you can force yourself at first to take these steps, it will get easier!
Pick up the phone.
Call your closest friends and set up a time to do something fun together.
Pick up where you left off.
Do something you used to enjoy but were not able to do when you were dating your ex. Maybe you lost touch with someone he didn't like, or maybe you stopped writing poetry. Whatever you gave up, get it back.
Make up for lost time.
Throw yourself into the activities you've been thinking about getting involved in, but haven't had time for. Been meaning to start a workout program, make a personal web page or put your friendship photos in an album? This is the time to do it.
Psyche yourself up.
Tell yourself you are not scared to bump into your ex. If it's not true, tell yourself anyway. Keep repeating it. You might eventually bump into him, so it's best to be prepared and confident.
Get a reality check.
If you feel like you want to get back together with the jerk who dumped you, call your friend who hates him the most and get her to remind you why he's an idiot. Then repeat steps 1-4.
If you're comfortable being around your ex and don't feel the need to slip back into your old relationship, congratulations! You have moved on with your life! There are just a few more tips for you from Myjellybean.com:
Work on your friendships.
When a person is in a serious relationship, sometimes she might put less effort into her friendships. This means it's going to be up to you, and not your friends, to make the moves and get your friendships close again.
Learn to be "me" - not "we" - again.
Sometimes a person gets used to identifying herself by her relationship, like seeing yourself as "Freddy's girlfriend." This can be hard to deal with when the relationship ends and you're like, "Who am I?" That's why hanging with your closest friends is important, 'cause they'll remind you who the real you is.
Believe in your strength.
Getting over someone is tough, but you'll learn a lot about yourself and the kind of relationship you want for the future.
