"Recognizing the Signs of Post-Romantic Stress Disorder: 10 Painful Indicators"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by YourTango
Post-Romantic Stress Disorder (P.R.S.D.) is a term used to describe the emotional and psychological distress experienced after a breakup. Signs of P.R.S.D. include obsessing over the ex, blaming oneself, difficulty focusing, refusing to date, and holding onto gifts from the past relationship. To overcome P.R.S.D., it is important to be honest about the time that has passed since the breakup, write a letter to oneself acknowledging the need for change, and engage in physical activities like aromatherapy, listening to music, and decluttering the living space. By reconditioning reactions and practicing self-care, individuals can find freedom from their past and move on to find love.
