BEFORE THE BREAK UP -The Fear stage - Dear Teen#1
At this stage, you are still in the relationship
The fear of the unknown is ruining your life
You are so worried about what your partner could do, doing or done to you without your knowledge
The insecurities are keeping you awake at night to an extent that you end up making a decision based on your assumptions not on facts
You have pride you do not talk about your fears and insecurities with your partner to an extent that you don't even realize that you could lose your partner for good due to your insecurities
Until you get tired of those feelings and decide to face your demons
You begin to own your story
You set goals for your life
As soon as you start writing down your goals, you focus on them.
You feel excited about your goals, instead of the sleepless night worrying about what the other person could do to you, you worry and focus on what to do next for your dreams and goals
You worry about how you are going to achieve your goals:
What you need to do to achieve your goals
What you need to do more
What you need to do less
Who you need to remove in your life
Who you need to add in your life
Reviewing your daily routine
Grabbing opportunities
Creating opportunities for yourself

Before the break up - The toxic stage -Dear teen#2
When
the relationship reach the toxic stage
Staying up at night tossing and turning
every day because of how you are being treated in the relationship.
Begging someone to communicate with you
Begging someone's input or effort on
rebuilding the relationship
Thinking about all the bad things that
a person has done to you
Thinking about all the hurtful words
that the person has said to you
Thinking about all the chances you have
given that person
Thinking about all the day's you were
waiting for a proper apology
Thinking about how you wanted to be loved and treated in the relationship
You get to a point where you have to
make a decision whether to stay and accept that kind of treatment, keep reading
the same chapter over and over again, keep getting the same results all
over again or face your fears of moving on, fear of people, fear of dealing
with the break up, fear of feeling guilt, fear of watching that person with
someone else after you have moved on.

Before the break up - Feeling Lonely - Dear Teen#3
There are two
types of loneliness:
1.Being lonely with someone and
2.Being lonely by yourself
1. Feeling lonely in the relationship
that’s the worse feeling ever, sometimes you get into a
relationship that makes you feel so lonely and lost. The relationship might
seem as if it's only for the benefits of the other person. You are not in
control of the relationship and your needs are not met. The relationship
depends only on the needs, emotions and circumstances of the other person. You
feel like your emotions are controlled by the other person.
2. Feeling lonely without the relationship
when you are single even though you may feel lonely sometime,
but you are in control of your life and your feelings. When you are not in the
relationship you happiness is clearly your business and your responsibility.
You have all the time to heal yourself, you can go on a healing journey. Your
mind is fresh and ready to be inspired, to learn new things and improve or
choose a better life. You are in a better position to create again. You are at
a better position to fill yourself up with self-love and all the good things
you could not do while you were with the other person.

Before the break up - Reaching out - Dear teen#4
Not having that person you can reach out to, someone that you truly trust with your pain, someone who cares, and someone who listens.
You need someone that you can go to and just cry it all out next to that person, someone who can be there for you throughout your trying time.
Crying all alone in your room is not healthy, you need someone you can sit next to while you are crying, someone who can sit next to your bed while you are not feeling like facing the world.
You need someone who is willing to be there for you, that person could be a friend, a family member etc.
