You'll get through this.

Broken heart syndrome, or if we want to get medical, stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a REAL thing!
That’s right, so, when you feel chest pains and shortness of breath, you actually are suffering from a broken heart and need to get to a doctor ASAP! Seriously, no joke, it’s a real.
Whether you have a literal broken heart or you are just feeling sh*tty about the fact that you just got dumped, breakups suck and there is NO easy way to heal heartbreak. You COULD go out with the girls, but you're just not ready to talk to any guys yet. Because, honestly, they SUCK right now.
Or maybe your mom thinks it's a good idea to take you to a paint and wine night. But doodling hearts while your mom talks to the wine moms about your breakup doesn’t sound like a great way to distract your mind from the heartache either.
Right now you may be feeling like NO ONE understands how you are feeling. You may feel alone and need a little something to help you get angry, get emotional, and get OVER him.
He dumped you, so now it’s time to DUMP him. And the best way to do it is to find some inspirational words that get your blood boiling, make you shed a few tears, and MOVE the heck on!
Going through a breakup can leave your mind blank. You could go weeks without talking to people about it and sometimes you NEED that push to begin the process of moving on.
I've found that it helps to lose yourself in a good selection of quotes from other people who've experienced the same thing to help you define what you're actually feeling.
Maybe you left the relationship thinking the breakup was all your fault, but through some soul searching and taking comfort in the words of others, you can FINALLY get some closure. Plus now you’ll have a catalog of killer heartbreak quotes at your disposal for some late night sub tweets too. Because that helps too, trust me!
So, here are some of my favorite broken heart quotes to help ease the pain of a recently dumped heart.
If you’re looking for a little inspiration, we’ve got the best quotes to share and savor. For quotes from the most inspiring celebs, activists, and poets, look no further! You might even find the quote that motivates the best parts of your life (and love!) forever.
