Frog Princess Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Coping with your feelings after a break up can be one of the hardest things one can do. You're left with so many different emotions and sometimes it's, well, hard to get out of the bed. Let's focus on some of the positive things we have going on in our lives. What reasons do you have for waking up today? A friend of mine did this activity on Facebook. While her reasoning had nothing to do with a break up, I think it's a great coping strategy. I'll start: 1) My boss and I are involved in a prank war and I have to get to work or cat hair will be on the knob of my office door (it really happened...long story). 2) There are two little people who depend on me and I cannot let them see me down.

Echo000 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 i wake up in the morning because i refuse to let a break up end my life. i wake up in the morning because i believe one day i will find happier pastures, greener greens, bluer skies. I wake up also with anger, anger toward my ex. Better than sadness. Anger has replaced the sadness. I realized i gave my heart to an immature, fake child. I refuse to ever let that happen again. I wake up, then, every morning with a determination to never let that happen to me again and to find someone who deserves me. 2
aspiringuitarheroine Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Guitar & music, music, music. Friends Pizza Family Sunshine The parrots that visit my balcony every morning for breakfast Turkish toast with Vegemite. Holy sh*balls, that stuff is good. Losing myself in a good book. Losing myself in a great TV show (seriously, how good is Breaking Bad?) My job might not be that exciting, but it funds the things I really want to do, including a new degree next year. Smiling babies .... I'm sure there's more... 1
shobee87 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I wake up to prove to myself that all the nasty things he said about me weren't true. That I am not a needy clingy person, I am strong and independant and all I need are my family and good friends. I dont need him. I also get up to do the things I enjoy. Watching a good tv series (breaking bad is mint) going out hiking with my dog, spending time with my friends and family who have given me unconditional love and support and make me laugh so much and can have the wierdest conversations with. I get up, even though some days it is very hard, because my ex was apart of my life, he wasnt my entire life. Theres still a life out there for me. And even though its hard to see at the minute I know my life is going to be better because my ex isnt in it. 1
HumptyDumpty Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Wel, right after the BU, it was hard! But living alone, I decided to get a pet: my hamster lady Now I have a rabbit as well living with me So yeah, I get up for so many reasons! To study and get a good job later on, to take care of my pets and occupy them since I have so much love to give , to play my violin which I took up as well when I didn't feel that good and I don't regret 8 months down the road, maybe meet new great people, go shopping.... so many good reasons to get out of the bed 1
Omei Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 1. My 6 year old little girl she's just the most well behaved lovely little angel. 2. Every day I get up for love I know I will find it again and I can't wait to feel the magic. 3. My parents mostly my mom who is a incredibly strong woman and would be disappointed in me if I let a breakup effect my life and my child. 2
Nyclovin Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 What's the other option , really , lets get with it and not enumerate reasons to wake up .
Echo000 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 What's the other option , really , lets get with it and not enumerate reasons to wake up . ^ the other option is to stay in bed. depressed people do it all the time. or figuratively, stay in bed while life passes them by. Lets get with it and be a little more aware nyclovin. 1

jesse93 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I wake up wanting to change my life for the better, I want to be someone in this world I've had a tough time the past few years with depression/anxiety and I want to beat this so I can live a normal life, I wake up so I can make myself feel worth something, to become a better person physically and mentally. 2
Brown-Eyez Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I wake up because I have to...it just happens, I would prefer often that I didn't but each morning here I am again.
Msnatural25 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I wake up because I have to go to work in order to provide for myself and my children.
Chris715 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I'm having a hard time thinking of one to be honest. Guess that's what depression does to you.
tinker683 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Because it's my life and I'm not going to let some piece of crap excuse of a human let what they did to me decide whether or not I can't be happy and I can't go out and get what I want. *edited for better wording* 1
Chris715 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 If I didn't wake up my friends and family would be shocked and hurt by my death. Guess that's something.
love1336x Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Because life stop stop because some d*ck doesn't love me anymore... Who is he to make me STOP enjoying the beauty of life? 1
thishatteredsymphony Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 My reason to wake up in the morning is because my world didn't stop spinning just because I got hurt. I refuse to allow life to pass me by. In getting up every morning since my BU I've had opportunities to hang out with old friends and meet new people, and just do so much for myself I couldn't or didn't do while in a relationship. It feels amazing. 1
tooslowatlove Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I have a cat who needs me to take care of her. I have a 76 year old mother who needs my help. I have friends who care about me. I have family who love me. I finally have a job worth getting out of bed for, after 4 years of working in hell. And I have a best friend/cousin who loves me like I were her brother and who would kick my ass if I let the end of my engagement defeat me.
esteem-jam Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Someone from the other spectrum. Honestly, I almost dont know. Guess not that many people would notice if this tree would fall in a forest, also, not that it is my goal to make X amount of beings dependable and sorrowing or worrying for me... I think thats humurous ;p I guess, reason for waking up, taking a shower and grooming up is - a possibility for a change. Any day can be yours or mine best day. It does not matter what day, season, place it is - it can be, become the best day of your (or my) life. Also, I make concious and subconcious steps towards my dreams. I also think not to make steps towards other peoples dreams and trying not to be influenced by them, cause thats useless ;p
NomiMalone Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 For my career which I love and am truly passionate about. To bring happiness and kindness into others' lives.
