don’t text your ex, do this instead

  In my experience,

• 00:01

  one of the greatest challenges in going through a breakup is not actually the breakup conversation itself,

• 00:06

  although that conversation sucks and is incredibly painful.

• 00:10

  At least during that conversation, you're still with your partner.

• 00:14

  I mean, you're breaking up, but technically, you're with them.

• 00:17

  I mean, if you're breaking up in person, I guess sometimes people break up over the phone,

• 00:23

  but even then, at least you're talking to them, you're still in contact with your partner.

• 00:29

  even when you're breaking up with them.

• 00:31

  I think one of the greatest challenges during a breakup is actually the weeks and the months that follow that are filled with these fits of unbearable heartbreak and yearning for your ex,

• 00:47

  where all you want to do is just text them and reconnect.

• 00:51

  All you want to do in the world is just say, I miss you.

• 00:56

  Say, can we talk?

• 00:58

  All you want to do is just feel a little bit of connection between the two of you again.

• 01:03

  Because in the weeks and the months that follow,

• 01:07

  the reality really starts to set in because you're living the reality.

• 01:11

  You're experiencing your new reality where you're not in daily contact with this person that you've been in daily contact with for months,

• 01:20

  years, decades, and it's so incredibly painful.

• 01:26

  And there are these moments of, like, I don't even know what the word is for it.

• 01:30

  I can't even describe it.

• 01:32

  These moments of absolute chaos in your brain where you feel like your skin is, like, itchy.
