SadHeart79 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Hi guys, I must admit I've been doing it pretty tough since the breakup, like a lot of the people on here. Ever since it has happened, I've had this overwhelming feeling to just get away from everything for a while. Away from the memories, away from the same old everyday and away from the thoughts and feelings for a while. I've been thinking of going on a holiday, a Contiki tour to be exact. As I will be going by myself, I thought travelling with a group a people the similar age might be a good idea. It will keep my busy, not give me time to be depressed and be a good distraction? The last thing I want is to lie on a beach somewhere, depressed and having thoughts about the ex, when I should be enjoying myself! Has anyone else on here thought of going on holiday after a break up? Has anyone actually done it? Did it improve your confidence levels and make you feel any better? I guess I just want some opinions on whether it would be a good idea or if I am just kidding myself on whether it would make me feel any better. I am hoping that it would show me that there is a whole other world out there and that life doesn't revolve around my ex.
sid3 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Yeah it's an excellent idea. Going on a holiday with a group would be the best way to go. I went a few years back and it did me a world of good. One of the first things I thought about was having to deal with it all over again when I returned. I found keeping the purpose of the trip in perspective, realising that things will be the same when I get back both kept me grounded. I used it as a new beginning, started my new life when I got on the plane. When I returned home, I decided to continue living the new life instead of going to the old one. There is no point traveling somewhere to be alone and pine over an ex. But from what it sounds like you re interested in doing, I think it could do you a world of good.
kyta Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Yes a holiday can help or not/ when i brok up with my x yrs back i went away but it didnt do me anygood, i was on my own in a diffrent country thinking she should b with me lol, how sad is that, we ended up talking on the phone and b4 i got back from the holiday we were back together again, but if you can put her out of your mind while away then a holiday would be good, just depend on the person and how they can control there mind and emotions while away.
roghornio Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Im taking it to extremes and moving to another country! Not just cause of any previous girlfriends - im just fed up with my town. every corner, every retraunt or bar has a memory or story, the same facesin the same places doing the same things... i hate it!!! Can't wait to be honest.
