Problem: Article: It's important in the aftermath of a romantic breakup to keep up the self-care. You may feel too sad or tired to eat right, sleep well, and exercise, but all of these things will help you to recover as quickly as possible. Things like exercise will also give your brain the extra positivity it needs to get through this rough patch, since it produces the happiness chemical serotonin. Enlist the help of friends if you're having a hard time with self-care. Make dinner with people you're close to or go to the gym with someone who is into exercising consistently. Distracting yourself from your pain may seem like a good idea in the moment, but it will only increase the amount of time it takes you to process the breakup. This can make it more difficult not to bring your residual feelings into new relationships and other areas of your life.  Talking it out with a friend can give you a good way of reflecting on your feelings. Make sure it's someone you trust to be sensitive with your emotions and really listen to what you are saying. Avoid using alcohol or other substances to keep your feelings away. In the long run this will only hurt you. Focus on the positive aspects of the breakup. Writing will help you organize your thoughts and begin to process all of the difficult emotions that go along with a breakup. Specifically writing about what went right in the breakup is better for you than just venting.  Was he honest and straightforward when he told you he was into someone else? Did he let you know what was going on before it got serious with the new person? It's important to give yourself time to heal. Straining yourself too hard, like jumping straight into a new relationship, overworking yourself, or just pushing yourself to move on can make the situation worse. Emotional injuries, like physical injuries, require time to fully heal. Give yourself the space to rest and recover. Don't be afraid to say no if friends want you to go out and you don't feel like it. True friends will understand that you need time before you can return to your normal way of being. It's easy in our culture to buy into the idea of there being only one person for you, but in reality there are a lot of people in the world that you are compatible with. Avoid telling yourself stories about how this person was the only one for you, or that you'll never find anyone like him. In all likelihood you will find someone else, and he might be even better than this guy. You may eventually find an amazing fit with someone, but when that happens then neither of you will want to break up.
Summary: Take care of your body. Face what you are feeling. Write about your experience. Give yourself time. Avoid the one true soul-mate myth.

Problem: Article: Sudden weight gain or weight loss could be a sign of any number of medical issues, but even if depression is not the cause, you should still consult a doctor. If you have noticed that your appetite has increased or decreased significantly, then be sure to talk to your doctor about this as well. This may be a symptom of depression, or it could indicate another underlying problem. You may also consider any risky behaviors that you have adopted as a symptom. This is especially true for men with depression. If you have recently started engaging in drug and/or alcohol use, unsafe sex, reckless driving, or dangerous sports, then this may indicate depression. Frequent crying paired with other symptoms could indicate depression, especially if you aren't sure why you're crying. Consider how often you typically cry and what makes you cry.  For example, if you find yourself crying for no reason or over something trivial, such as spilling a cup of water or missing your bus, then this is a good indication that you may be depressed. Be sure to share this symptom with your doctor. Tearfulness, or frequent crying, is a common symptom of depression in teens. If you have frequent unexplained headaches or other pains, this is another good reason to consult a doctor. A medical condition may be to blame or the aches and pains may be due to depression.  Physical pain is one of the more common and often overlooked signs of depression in men. If you are a man experiencing backaches, headaches, stomach problems, sexual dysfunction, or any other physical symptoms, be sure to tell your doctor.  Elderly people often complain about physical problems over mental or emotional ones, and so depression may hide for a long time. Be aware of any physical changes, deaths of friends, and losses of independence that could trigger depression. You may also notice things like having trouble sleeping, or sleeping too much.
Summary: Keep an eye out for appetite changes. Note any risky behaviors. Consider how often or how easily you cry. Reflect on any mysterious aches and pains you have had.

Problem: Article: Consider what effects a simple status update or blog posting could have on your reputation in the long run.  Always ask yourself, "How would I feel if my boss, parents, grandmother, and spouse saw this piece?" Chances are, they probably will see it. Are you feeling angry, upset, frustrated, or just plain bored? Don't post anything until you feel more balanced and can think straight about what you're writing. Remember that once it's posted, it can't be taken back. Daring yourself to "just put it out there" can have long-lasting consequences. Go get a glass of water and sit down away from the computer first... Approach all online interactions with your manners at the forefront. Have the attitude that most people are acting in good faith and the stupid things said online are often a result of not thinking, making errors or simply having an off-moment. And where people are deliberately provocative, don't stoop to their level; unlike real life heated exchanges, written spats are etched in stone.  Never flame anyone or respond to flamers; it's usually all about them and you're not only feeding their egos but ruining your own reputation at the same time. Never feed the trolls. Some people love to bait others and watch the destruction unfold. If you don't respond, they'll stop messing about with you and no nasty record will be left online. Accept where you've slipped up and said stupid things. Where possible, leave an apology. It can go a long way to showing you're capable of realizing and acting on your faults. Don't harbor ill will toward a person offline. Carrying your annoyance offline is likely to develop into a bad reputation. Be civil even when you feel uncivil. If this isn't possible, get off the computer until you've cooled down. It is that easy.
Summary: Think before you click. Always be polite.

Problem: Article: Stand up out of the bike seat while keeping your pedals parallel with the ground.  Keep your elbows and knees loose and slightly bent, and bend at the waist so that you are positioned above the bike seat rather than behind it.  When you stand up, position your head directly over the front wheel. Use the momentum you get from shifting your center of gravity back to explode straight upward. While you are pulling up with your arms, push your feet into the pedals, applying an even amount of pressure to each one.
Summary:
Ride at a slow to medium speed and lean back slightly. Sink your weight into the front wheel and then pull your handlebars upward with your arms.
