jmorgan101's approach may be effective for breakups, but it also sounds like a great way to spend a weekend. –Sparkitors
We've all been through it: the dreaded breakup. We have all liked/dated/been turned down by someone, and left not knowing how we will go on living/unable to find the strength to function/face-first in a vat of frosting at some time or other in our lives. I now give you the Five F’s to surviving the B-word:
Friends. Friends are the best cure for breakup angst. They've been with you through everything and already know all the details—therefore, they're the best at bashing your ex! They offer a shoulder to cry on and already know everything about your loves and hates. They'll burn all the stuff your ex gave you and drive the getaway car when you egg his house—and they will not judge you for eating cake batter directly from the mixing bowl.
Family. Your mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, pet dog, pet dragon, pet swordfish, whatever, are available to listen to you cry and yell and divulge your deepest secrets, so let it out to them! Ruin your mother’s brand new, never been washed, Oscar de la Renta gown with your tears of sorrow! That's why she had you, after all.
Ferris. A good comedy can solve any problems of the heart—soon those tears of sorrow will become tears of joy and laughter! My personal suggestion is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, as it is the BEST MOVIE EVER. It never fails to cure my ailments.
Food. FOOD! Who doesn’t love FOOD? Go to the store in your pajamas and fluffy slippers and buy anything and everything chocolate, plus the entire ice cream section, then go home and eat it all! Don’t worry about how you'll look, cause you are beautiful, and the world will deal with you wanting triple chocolate double layered ice cream with brownies and hot fudge on top and chocolate whipped cream.
Frenchie. As in, the character Frenchie from Grease. (Yes, I am a movie fanatic.) If comedies aren't doing it for you, and you're in the mood to just keep crying, watch Grease. You will cry, you will dance, and you will smile. And we all look, feel, and are better when we smile!
