Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first time I cut my skin with a razor blade, I was a sophomore in college. I’d used physical pain as a coping mechanism since I was a little kid, but until that point it had been confined to pinching, hitting, and scratching.

#2 It can be difficult to deal with heartbreak, and the first step is understanding why you are hurting so badly. It is not just your boyfriend or girlfriend, but your best friend. You are losing your best friend, and it is quite traumatic.

#3 There are three ways people end a relationship: your partner initiates it, you initiate it, or you mutually decide to uncouple. The first type is the most difficult, because you’ve gotten dumped and it sucks. You want to get your partner back, but that often leads to a deep, dark spiral of anxiety, depression, and OCD.

#4 After a breakup, you will constantly be thinking about what could have been, what you could have done differently, and what you should have done differently. These types of thoughts are a waste of time and increase the likelihood that you will waste hours of your life and stress hormones will be released.
