Coping with a breakup?

My boyfriend and I of 9 months just broke up. We just got back from summer vacation and things were so weird and awkward. So after the first week of school we decided that there just wasn't much there, no spark or anything, so we called it quits. This was just last night over the phone. Right after that I cried for 2 hours straight and ate chocolate icing. Today at school was awful, plus our lockers are right next to eachother, the whole day I just wanted to burst out crying. We barely talked all day %26amp; it was even more awkward.


When I got home I ate more icing and cried a lot more. I talked on the phone with some friends and they convinced me this was normal and I would get over it. So i got rid of a bunch of stuff that reminds me of him. We were extremely close, we did so much together and now its all gone. He said he still loves me, but as a friend, and he said he wants to be good friends. I'm feeling sad and regret. How can I make myself feel better and deal with this whole thing?Coping with a breakup?
Cultivate your friendships and find in them the support you need. Reconcile old grudges and don't make any new enemies, because your friends are your biggest crutch here. Get outside and enjoy the last of the warm weather, and stay on top of your school work. If you fall behind, it's more weight on your back. And you don't need that.





For the time being, take it a day at a time. Do things you like to do and find other people and other things to invest yourself in. As time goes by, the pain will ease. Best wishes and good luck.
