breakup blues. So, how can you get over a break-up faster, without all the added health drama?
First, crying helps. Research has shown that when the body feels overwhelmed, crying can eliminate the excess stress hormones that would otherwise wreak havoc on our immune system.
You could also try basic relaxation techniques - like deep breathing, or aerobic exercise. Those will prompt your brain to pump out more feel-good chemicals, to calm your nervous system.
Also, go ahead and wallow – but only for a day or two. Experts say “pity parties” are a self-defense mechanism we use to rehash the things we’ve done well, and contemplate the things we could have done better. So, wallowing could be a healthy way of preparing you for better experiences in your next relationship.
