He Dumped Me – How Can I Mend My Broken Heart

So you’ve just been dumped. Are you trying to heal your broken heart and wondering how you will survive? The mere words in an article will not give you comfort, but what listed here may. You are not a broken person, you just have a broken heart.

You have two fears that grip you when you find yourself in the position of just being dumped. One being that your heart will never recover. The second is that no one will ever love you again.

Take heart, though. The fear is real. The pain is real. You must realize that this fear exists only in your head not in the real world. While it’s only one part of your life that is over, it feels like your whole life has ended.

You are going to be having many different emotions during this time. I’ve compiled a list of songs and movies to help you through the break up.

If you wanting to wallow in self-pity, well here are some great songs to cry to:

You Keep Me Hangin On – The Supremes
What Goes Around…Comes Around – Justin Timberlake

These songs and movies are great portrayals of the different parts of a break up cycle. You don’t want to go through this alone, since some aspects are easier then others. Invite your friends to tell their break up stories, I’m sure there are some great ones there, don’t push your friends away. Don’t let the misery take you over, realize you are not alone out there and that alone may help you.

As you begin to live again, you’ll see that the sadness and misery you felt right after he dumped you is beginning to fade away. And, those fears you had, you’ll find that they are totally unfounded. Your soul mate is out there and the truth is you will find him.

You now have a chance to find someone who will love you for who you are, your ex did you a favor by breaking up with you. And, don’t forget, to heal your broken heart and move on from him is the best revenge when he dumps you!
