Are you in a shaky relationship or do you know someone in one who’s anticipating the blues? It might be because of the breakup season. Let’s dive into this phenomenon to learn more.
What is breakup season?
While breakups can happen anytime over the year, they usually increase from November to January. However, why does this sad yet liberating thing have a season?
Why does it exist?
In India, this period is when you celebrate Diwali, Christmas and New Year. There are seasonal blues too, as we shift to winter's solitude. This makes people aloof at times.
New year, new me, no bae
During this period, we slip into an introspective mode to reflect on the past year. In the hope of debuting the 'new me', couples tend to break up to start afresh.
How to deal with breakup season
Coping with breakups is difficult. But nothing better than partying with your friends and crying over it while downing some drinks. This is good as a Plan B.
Seek support
Plan A calls for spending time with family and friends while prioritising some alone time as well. Moreover, if things get difficult, you must seek professional help.
