Life might feel completely over once your relationship ends unexpectedly. It's almost like you can’t go on without him in your life. It’s likely that you’ll lose your appetite and won’t be able to sleep because you’ll only have nightmares of life without your ex. Your only thoughts are focused on how to get your ex back. Your first plan is probably to call him (with a little liquid courage in you) and tell him everything from your regrets to your wishes. Your next plan probably consists of texting, emailing and calling him until he takes you back.

Stop right there. Those are plans that will actually get you the opposite of what you want. These are known as "drunk dialing" and "text message terrorism" and will push your ex further from you. You’ll lose any chance you had of getting your ex back if you follow these bad plans. Instead of constantly pestering him, you should give him some time to think about his feelings and about you. That’s tip one for your efforts to get your ex back.

The second piece of advice is to have some support from friends and family. They will be the ones that will show you you’re not worthless and can be the life raft when you feel you can’t stay afloat any longer. They all want to ensure your happiness and will work hard with you to accomplish that goal. Don’t cut them out because you’re not feeling social.

It’s important for you to realize that a breakup is not the end of your life. It’s going to be difficult for some time but you can create goals to get you to a higher and better point in your life.
