Lots of people come and go throughout our lives. Your friendship might have just run its course. Think of it as an open space in your life that you can fill up with new, stronger friendships. When a friendship ends it can be easy to focus on negative things. Take stock of the things in your life that you are grateful for. Make a list of people you still feel close to, skills you are proud of, groups you’re involved with or tasks you enjoy. Keep the list close by in a your wallet or bag or hang it above your desk so you can look to it when you are feeling lonely. Sitting around and dwelling on lost friends will make it harder to get over them. If you catch yourself spending too much time in the house feeling sad get out. Go for a jog or to the gym. Go to a place where you can be around other people like a coffee shop, the library or a concert. Seeking out a new hobby can be a great distraction and can help you meet new friends. Sign up for something you are interested in to keep you busy. A yoga class or meditation group can be particularly helpful in times of distress. You might also consider a cooking class, dance lessons, or learning how to play an instrument. Don’t let lost friendships keep you from enjoying yourself. Make sure you make extra time to do things that you enjoy and that make you happy. Read, play video games, go out with other friends, play an instrument. Keep busy. Healing from the loss of a friendship is going to take time. Even though you might be experiencing very real feelings of loneliness and depression, know that no feeling lasts forever and that as long as you are taking good care of yourself, you’ll be able to find the strength to pull through.
