A breakup is depressing but, it does not have to mean that in the future that relationship can't be restored. Your latest breakup has left you feeling confused and lonely and yet, you remember the good times and are still eager to work on healing the wounds and restoring the relationship with your ex. "But," you may ask remembering the breakup's pain, "How is it possible for us to get back together?" A couple things... first, learn how to react following a breakup and second, be aware of what you may be doing, because you're hurting, that could strain the relationship even more. Make the effort to be polite and positive rather than vindictive. If it's in your future to get back together with your ex, you don't want to do something after a breakup that reinforces the breakup was the right thing to do.

Keeping a positive, even cheerful attitude throughout your day following a breakup is hard. But, most of the relationship experts will tell you that a confident and optimistic attitude will go a long way to possibly getting back together. So, what should you do?

* Stay confident -- Stay occupied to keep the depression out of your demeanor. Resist being negative and let your ex see you can handle a tough emotional situation. Allow your ex boyfriend or girlfriend to know that you are strong and that you are more than capable of handling such an emotional situation, and also that you are capable of surviving on your own as well. I won't lie to you, this will be difficult. Your natural inclination will be to retreat rather than advance, but press ahead and things will get easier

* Be active socially -- Spend your free time with supportive and positive people. Show your ex that people appreciate you, and that they love having you around. In just a short time, your ex will see you as a good person that they can't afford to let go. When you are with people who love and appreciate you, their energy casts you in a light that gets noticed.

* Maintain a good appearance -- Don't let your appearance reflect your situation. Because you are hurt, it's natural to become careless with the basics of your life. Take a good inventory of how you look, the condition of your clothes, your hair, make up (if you normally wear it), the way you walk, even down to the shoes you're wearing. Do the dishes, run the vacuum, and make the bed. Even though the last three are unseen, they will affect your attitude. Following a bad breakup it will be very difficult to be happy or even take care of just the basics. It can be hard to act happy or to take care of yourself following a bad breakup, but this is one of the best ways that you can let your ex know that you are doing just fine, and do not need to beg for his or her sympathy. If you do get back together it will be as mature and responsible adults. Don't settle for anything less.

We all go through breakups as a natural part of the maturing process in relationships. They are painful, but how you handle them will determine if you and your ex truly have a future.
