    Breakups can be some of the hardest things you have to go through, but there is light at the end of the tunnel (and maybe at the bottom of a pint of ice cream and tissue box). These studies found that there is some good that comes from the nasty heartbreak we know so well.

    1.You're allowed to be sad.

    A study in the journal of Social Psychological and Personality Science says that being sad and reflecting on what happened is a good thing. So, take your time to obsess over every little detail of what went wrong, but know when to stop.

    2. It's called heartbreak for a reason.

    You probably feel intense pain about the situation and that's no exaggeration. A study showed participants photos of their exes while monitoring their brain activity and found pain centers in their brains lighting up.

    3. Your brain took a hit too.

    You might be in a situation where it feels like the rug was ripped out from underneath you. A study conducted in Arizona found that when a relationship partner who was a big part of your life disappears, it can throw your mind and body entirely off balance.

    4. You should get out of bed eventually.

    You probably feel like you want to lay in your blanket fort forever, but you can't forget to take care of yourself. Getting out of bed, eating healthy and going about your regular routine is important.

    5. It will be hard. Don't take the easy way out.

    Don't just run back to the person who hurt you. A study found that on-again off-again couple were less satisfied with their relationships overall.

    6. You can and should reinvent yourself.

    Get back in touch with what you love. Change your hair or try and new hobby and see how it changes your outlook on life.

    7. Your perspective will change and it'll get better.

    Breakups suck, but there may be some positives to it. The blog, Science of Relationships, says that with time, you'll be able to see the good that came from the situation.

    8. Time and distance change everything.

    Perception is everything and this study of football players found that to be entirely true.

    Even crying is allowed and is not a problem but you should learn when to stop. A problem comes in when you cry for a long period of time.

    It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return but what is more hurtful is being with that someone in romance and yet they keep on disappointing you. I know that it mighty be a hard way for you to let them go but you just have to!
