It's not the breakup that's difficult. It's the memories that follow.

[AliAli-yvfp]

The hardest part about a breakup is losing your best friend too.

[callmebitchacho]

Never thought Russell Brand would be the person to save me.

I watched this a year ago, at the time the pain was unbearable and I lost all my will to live. For everyone reading this: I know it’s incredibly hard right now and it feels like there’s no way out but I promise that there’s light at the end of the tunnel♥️ I still think about it every now and then but the pain has faded. You can do this!

Who ever you are reading this
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Please never give up ❤️

I literally wrote a list of everything bad in my last relationship immediately after the breakup, and I read it recently. My mind was blown away by the number of things I'd forgotten about. We really do tend to idealize people.

[Keys]

Breakups don't bother me anymore. It's the fact that finding consistent and honest people is becoming increasingly difficult. People are getting desperate and forgetting what it means to be a true human being. It's feeling lonelier and lonelier, even in a relationship.

[Zentrum]

Sometimes its not the person you miss, but the person you felt like when you were with them.

[GiacomoVaccari]

1 - Accept that the break up is the right thing and it's happened
2 - Accept that you can not control nobody except yourself
3 - Realize that you cannot invest your well-being in the perception of another person
4 - Learn to let go and move on
5 - Trust that the future is going to be OK for you

Print this and put it by your nightstand.

"The hardest part of ending is starting again."
-Mike Shinoda

[Medsuo_Retro]

The hardest pain about breakups is this : waking up in the morning.
Especially if you happen to have a dream about your ex and everything seems realistic until you wake up in reality when nothing of that relationship exists anymore.
I have been in a relationship for 8 years. After we broke up, I found a new girl and have been with her for almost a year and we ended up breaking up a few days ago.
Same thing happens if you don't really take the time to heal guys.
I realised that the only way to get better at this, is by waking up and instantly putting yourself in the beast mode. What is the beast mode you may say? Well, beast mode is when you open your eyes in the morning and see a beast and instead of getting afraid of it you attack it.
The people who will understand this metaphore will get my point very quickly.
Stay strong fellas, you got this.

ONE YEAR ON... I remember watching this a year ago when a 7 year relationship ended. I was a broken shattered man. I was crying everyday and could barely sleep. For anyone who is now going through the pain please believe it gets better over time. Despite not being ready for a new relationship I am over the heartbreak and you will be too. Please reach out to your support network. Please pursue activities your soul needs to live. Dont deprive your basic needs for mind body and soul. If you need medical help or a therapist please arrange it. I had 5 months of therapy which helped me immensely and saved my life. Stay strong everyone you will be okay I promise 😊

Literally just had a really hard breakup. This really helped

[blksheepramirez]

Since the breakup with the woman I loved I’ve spent countless hours on YouTube on many content creators and dating coaches but none have been more helpful than this. Simple and direct. Thank you Russel, you are a kind man

[Nightgaunt]

Just remember ALL the horrible emotional pain they've brought you during the relationship and you'll be goddamn happy it's finally over.

[ELSATAYLOR-zedr]

I've heard numerous success stories from friends who turned to Elowen Rasmusov for breakup counseling. Her reputation as a breakup specialist is well-deserved.

[sonnydortmund]

Thank you Russell. I’m going through a break up right now and I feel like I’m in absolute hell. The spiritual, emotional and physical pain is literally unbearable atm. I can’t see a way out and I’m terrified. I just hope one day I come out of this stronger. To anyone reading this and going through the same thing, I wish you nothing but all the strength and love in the world.

Love you all.

Peace ❤️

[Happy-Me.]

When you walk away from a relationship ensure you write down all that was wrong with it and keep it close to you.

I watched this 6 months ago. Heartbroken about a toxic boy that didn't care for me.. Now im single and feeling better than ever. Stop settling for less, break up with that toxic person who is ruining your happiness.. Time heals wounds.. focus on yourself and your selfworth and everything will be okay.. May the universe bless you❤️

Going thru my first breakup of 6 years and 1 day. I’m not sure I will survive this, as it is the worst thing I’ve ever went through in my life. I’m not sure I have the strength to get thru life going forward. I cry myself to sleep every single night. Life has lost the meaning. I’m filled with bad thoughts, ruminations, guilty, sadness and emptiness. To whoever’s going through this, im so sorry you’re going through this and I would hold you and cry with you if i could.
