The dreaded day has finally arrived, your ex and you have broken up. What should you do now? This article will lay out the next crucial steps to take right after the breakup.

1.) It is vital that you get over the panic and stress about your breakup. You cannot take control and actually do something that will work when you're stressed out. Don't discuss with your friends all the wrongs that your ex did.

This does nothing but reinforce your bad feelings. It will also generate discomfort and embarrassment among your friends. Unless they are very knowledgeable in relationship issues, their suggestions won't be that useful.

2.) This problem isn't going to repair itself. You will have to put forth the effort to change things for the better. A cool head will be needed to do this.

Your first instinct after the breakup will be to patch things up as fast as possible. There is no quick fix to relationship problems. As a matter of fact, you should let things cool off for about a month.

It's also good if the breakup happened in a mature and non threatening way. Time is required to reflect and to get things into perspective. It's important to understand the reasons behind the breakup before you try to contact her.

3.) Be friends with her. It's not the easiest thing to do with someone you've recently broken up with but it sets you up well for future contact with her. The status of your relationship is defined by what happened during your last contact. This last contact forms the basis of her recent memories about you.

Do the fun things with her that you did back in the beginning, before you had sex. This will serve to remind her of the good side of your relationship. She will understand that she'll be giving this fun aspect up if she leaves you.

4.) Be careful of alcohol. It will mess up your judgement. It's very common for a person late at night after a few drinks to think that it's a good idea to wake up their ex with a phone call.

No one is in a good frame of mind when they're wakened late at night by a phone call. This is doubly so if that call is from their ex. On top of this, the alcohol will diminish your inhibitions and you will regress to the usual behaviors that causes conflict.

5.) Get out of the house and have a little fun. I know it's easier for me to say that than for you to do it but it has immense therapeutic value. Make new friends and get back together with the old buddies. Enjoying life again will drive away the pain and depression of the separation.
