How you cope over that time will depend on\nyour ability to manage your own thoughts and actions, and to recognize when\nthings are out of hand. In other words, a relationship breakdown is a time of\nheightened and mixed emotions. But, if you take time and care for yourself, you\nwill come out the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of whether or not you started the separation, you\nmay still experience grief. Someone you used to care about, or may\nstill&nbsp;love, is moving out of your life. To cope with your grief, look at\nthings that might help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>avoid using alcohol or other drugs to ease any\npain<\/li><li>try to eat healthily, keep your sleeping and\nexercise routines, and plan for treats and the things you enjoy<\/li><li>avoid rushing into a new relationship<\/li><li>try to keep busy, perhaps distract yourself with\nnew people and new activities, or talk to friends and family and others who can\nsupport you, or consider some quiet reflective time by yourself<\/li><li>talk to your doctor, or seek counseling, if you\nhave any concerns about your health and wellbeing<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Relationship breakdown is a key factor in worsening family\nviolence and depression. Some people can have an extreme response to\nseparation, which can be dangerous to them, their partner or their family.\nAnything that is an attempt to belittle, demoralize or punish a person is\nunhelpful, and sometimes may even be illegal, such as vandalizing a car or\nother property. The separation will be easier on everyone if each party takes\nresponsibility for behaving with self-respect and maturity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fksg.org\/test1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FKSG-Post-20212-1024x204.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fksg.org\/test1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FKSG-Post-20212-1024x204.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fksg.org\/test1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FKSG-Post-20212-300x60.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fksg.org\/test1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FKSG-Post-20212-768x153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fksg.org\/test1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FKSG-Post-20212-1536x306.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fksg.org\/test1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FKSG-Post-20212-2048x408.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadness experienced from a relationship breakdown may be\nintense, which may lead to depression. Depression is a serious illness that\naffects mental and physical health. People with depression find it hard to\nfunction every day. They may become socially isolated, or unproductive at work\nand home, and stop enjoying their usual activities. Other signs of depression\ncan be significant weight change, lack of concentration, and reliance on\nalcohol or drugs. If these problems last longer than two weeks, it is time to\nseek professional help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unhealthy response to separation is violence. Some\npeople feel enormous rage when their relationship falls apart, and they may try\nto punish their partner. If you feel you cannot control your anger, or you are\nworried about your partner\u2019s anger, seek help immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Family violence, stalking, and abusive or threatening language and behavior are never acceptable. The safety of everyone in the relationship, including children, must come first. If your partner is violent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>avoid contact as much as you can<\/li><li>only meet in a public place<\/li><li>ask a friend or family member to be with you at\nmeetings<\/li><li>don\u2019t respond with aggression<\/li><li>keep a record of abusive incidents, including\nstalking<\/li><li>seek legal advice about what you can do<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you think you are in immediate danger, call 911.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breaking up is a tough time, it can be better or worse depending on how you deal with it.
