There’s no denying that the first Christmas after your breakup can be really difficult. It seems like everyone around you is happy and full of Christmas cheer, whilst all you want to do, is curl up on the sofa with your box of tissues.
How you're feeling is totally normal and it's Ok to be upset and emotional – but there are things you can do to make it slightly easier for yourself.
Even though it’s likely this will be a difficult time of year for you – remember that it will pass, and you will find happiness again. Use some of the time to reflect on what you want your life to look like this time next year. Think about what you could do now to start moving closer to that. Reach out to your friends and family for support when you need it – they’ll be more than willing to help.
