It helps to understand why our brains and bodies disintegrate in the aftermath of a breakup. Your identity undergoes a fundamental change where you define yourself in relation to your partner. We went on vacation, we got a puppy, we made dinner.
When the “we” dissolves, it can feel like the very core of who you are has dissolved. We Were left with a significant void, and you have to fill voids.
Multiple studies have shown that the core of our feeling crappy upon losing a relationship has to do with our murky identification post-breakup.
Filling those voids, reforming your sense of identity, figuring out what the new ‘me’ is going to be about”—that’s what you should do now that you’re on your own.
Looking at the bright side. Just a thought.
