Breakups are hard. This is true no matter what age we are or even what the nature of the relationship has been. For starters, anyone going through a breakup is likely to feel a flood of varying and sometimes contrasting emotions that leave us feeling more than a little ‘tender’. At these moments, having some clarity and making sense of them on one’s own can feel almost impossible. Kevon Owen Christian Counseling can help.

Coping with Anxiety After A Breakup: What to Do When Social Anxiety Goes Through The Roof

One of the most common experiences post-breakup is that of having social anxiety. In fact, as intimated prior, levels of social anxiety after a breakup can be at unprecedented highs. As if that is not enough, coping with the same can prove to be even more difficult if you add variables like being introverted or even shy to the equation.  

While we are often programmed to avoid negative emotions, the truth is, the first thing to do when dealing with social anxiety is to acknowledge your feelings regarding the same. Truth is, a breakup is a loss on many levels. It is not just the loss of a person or a relationship. It is also the loss of what that relationship has represented including a future you envisioned and someone to share that with. As such, a breakup means having to walk away from the same results in simultaneously feeling like you are facing an uncertain future and facing it alone. Thankfully, in spite of these very valid feelings, your story does not have to end there. In fact, it is at this point that you can have a new beginning once you are equipped with the right tools.
