I Can't Stop Crying From My Break Up
Question
Hey me and my boyfriend just broke up and I can't stop crying so I think I need some help.
Counselor response
Glad you are reaching out to talk about this. Break ups are tough and sharing about them can make it hurt a bit less.
During this time, it is important to focus on your own needs. Letting your emotions out is a good start. Tonight, try to take care of yourself. Watch a favorite movie, eat a favorite snack, or take a hot shower before bed.
