6. You picture yourself as the heroine of a tragic love story.
“I watched sad love stories and listened to sad love songs. I can laugh about it now, but I was very serious then.” You heighten your heartache to the max by reading sad love stories and watching sad love dramas. Sometimes that will be all you need to bounce back, but there’s a risk that you will settle deeper and deeper into depression. Make sure you know how you will react before placing yourself in such an extreme emotional place.
