Article: Being single is associated with a decreased risk of adverse health effects from dysfunctional marriages or intimate relationships. Some studies have shown that bad relationships can actually make you physically unhealthy. But singles are more likely to be fit and healthy. Singles also tend to go to the gym more, eat better, and have lower stress levels. Single people tend to be thinner than people who are in a relationship. One study found that people gain an average of 14 or more pounds after starting a relationship. Single people also get more, good quality sleep than people who share a bed with a partner. Single women have better mental health than married women, especially married women who have children.

Problem: Article: Your brain needs exercise just like your body. To keep it in good shape, and to keep that memory sharp, you should regularly engage in challenging mental activities. You can learn something new or sharpen an existing skill. If you play music, try tackling a difficult new piece. Or, you could try doing a tricky crossword puzzle. Exercise that involves cardio activity is especially good for strengthening your memory. Incorporate aerobic exercise into your daily routine. Try taking a break during lunch or between classes to take a brisk walk. Activities that require hand eye coordination are also effective. Try taking a tennis lesson to build this skill. If you miss out on sleep, your memory and critical thinking skills can suffer. Aim to get 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Try to get into a routine of going to be and getting up at the same time each day. Turn off the TV and electronic devices 1 hour before bedtime. Unwind with a book or a cup of tea. Good news! You can actually keep your brain healthy by hanging out with your friends. It will keep you from being stressed, which can hamper your concentration. Make time to hang out with your friends regularly. Try going to a funny movie or checking out a concert together. Try to get your other senses involved in learning. For example, you can try reading notes or your book out loud to help retain information. If you're more visual, draw an image or chart that will help you visualize what you're studying. You can also practice explaining your information. Imagine that you have to teach someone else the material that you are studying. Figuring out how to do this can help you more quickly absorb information.
Summary: Exercise your brain with new or challenging activities. Get physical exercise each day. Create a good sleep routine. Manage stress with friends and laughter. Use tricks for memorization.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't let the person call you, text you, Facebook you, or even show up in places where you're likely to be -- get a restraining order if you have to. Talking to the person will only make you feel more confused and hurt, and things could get ugly. Don't be tricked if the person says that he or she just want to chat, or that he or she misses you -- your ex will only try to get you back in whatever way possible. If you need to talk the person for any reason, like to get back more of your things, or work out something practical related to mutual belongings, bring a friend with you and do it in a public place. If you and the person have a lot of mutual friends, you'll have to cut off contact with them for a while. Don't go to places where you know your ex will be, even if that means laying low for a while. It's natural that you'll feel sad and lonely without your significant other. If he or she controlled every aspect of your life and you're suddenly on your own again, having to make decisions for yourself, it's logical for you to feel unable to handle the smallest decisions, and to feel completely alone and overwhelmed. But this is exactly how your ex wanted you to feel -- like you couldn't possibly live a day of your life without them. Keep telling yourself that it will get easier -- it really will. Remind yourself that, before the relationship, you were perfectly fine on your own, and that you can be that person again. Though it's helpful to spend some time to reflect on your own after a break up, this is not the time to spend all of your time alone. Instead, lean on your friends and family and spend as much time with others as you can. Though the last thing you want to do may be to go to a party, force yourself out and try to have some fun. Though you should spend more time alone during a more standard breakup, spending a lot of time alone after ending a manipulative or controlling relationship will make you more likely to want to go back to your ex. Your friends and family are your support system. Talk to them about how bad the relationship was -- having them confirm your thoughts will make you feel stronger. Don't be afraid to reach out. Maybe you lost touch with some close friends because of your controlling partner. Just be honest and say you know you made a mistake for cutting your friends out of your life, and they should take you back. If you spend all of your time wallowing in your room or watching TV by yourself in the dark, you'll never be able to get over the relationship. Try to stay as busy as you can by hanging out with friends, pursuing your interests, and immersing yourself in your work or studies. You can even find a new hobby to try to pursue on your own, which will give more meaning to your life. Whatever you do, just try to get out of the house. This will make you feel less alone, even if you're only reading by yourself in a coffee shop. Plan your week. Leave some time for reflection, but make sure you have something to look forward to every day. Think of this as an opportunity to try something you never got to do with your ex. Maybe he hated something as simple as eating sushi or going to the movies -- do those things to your heart's content. This part may take a while, but you'll slowly see how much better you are on your own and away from the terrible relationship. Every night before you go to bed, think of one thing that you're now able to do away from the relationship. You can even make a list of all of the ways that your life is better and how great it is to feel in control of your thoughts and actions. Whenever you have a moment of weakness, review this list, or recite all of the reasons why your life is better. Give it time and you'll see that you were right for being brave and making the right choice.

SUMMARY: Avoid contact with the person. Don't be tempted to change your mind. Spend time with your loved ones. Stay busy. Think of how much happier you are.
