Leaning on loved ones, starting therapy, and developing a mindfulness practice are some of the most talked about ways to heal after a breakup. But we’d be lying not to admit that social media, likely TikTok these days, has a role in our mending journey too, whether that’s for the best or worst. It can become a toxic playground, but it doesn’t have to be if you engage with creators who lift you up rather than pull you into the comparison game.
TikTok may have a reputation for viral choreography and cool transitions, but it’s also where you’ll find really inspiring creators who share valuable tips for getting through a painful heartbreak, help you embrace modern-day dating, and offer kindness and support for your self-love journey.
So if you’re ready to use that endless scroll for good, here are a few creators to follow:
