Breakups are one of the most difficult moments that can happen in anyone's life.

How to survive a breakup? Many say that time is needed, but here everything is not entirely clear.

It is much more important to prepare in advance for what a breakup can bring. Therefore, it is worth remembering the 5 stages that occur in everyone who truly loved their partner.

Negation

The first stage of a breakup is denial. At this time, a person refuses to accept reality and tries to convince themselves that the breakup is inevitable, or simply denies its existence.

This is a natural reaction to loss that can help a person gradually adjust to a new reality.

Anger

The next stage is anger. At this point, everyone can feel anger towards their partner, themselves, or the world around them for not being able to avoid the breakup or for it happening.

This anger can be directed both inward and outward, and can manifest itself in various forms of emotional expression.

Often at this stage, many make serious mistakes in life, and then begin to regret the consequences that occur.

Anxiety and depression

Anger is often followed by a stage of anxiety and depression. A person may feel deep sadness, loss of interest in everyday activities, and anxious thoughts about the future.

This is a normal reaction to loss and may take time and support to overcome.

Point of no return

At this stage, a person may reach the point of no return, when he fully realizes that the separation is final and irreversible.

This can be an important step towards healing as everyone begins to accept their new reality and look for ways to move forward.

Acceptance

At this time, a person accepts their loss and realizes that life goes on. They begin to look to the future with optimism and are open to new opportunities and relationships.

This stage can be the most difficult and it is worth acting decisively. Giving up at this point can ruin your life and cause many problems.
