A break is never easy to manage. Depression, crying, sadness, re-crying … are the logical result of a breakup.
To help you get through this difficult time and especially so that you can try (even if we agree that it is hard) to think of something else and to fight against your dark ideas, we offer several ideas of small things to do and that will help you cheer up.
You will be able to go up the slope very slowly by taking a little more care of yourself, by opening yourself up to others, by taking back tastes of the pretty things that life offers us.
