Friend breakups: why they can sometimes feel as bad as falling out of love

Donnerstag, April 18, 2024

Though we tend to think of bad breakups as the end of romantic relationships, losing a friend – especially one who has been close to you – can be just as hard.

Key Points: 
  • Though we tend to think of bad breakups as the end of romantic relationships, losing a friend – especially one who has been close to you – can be just as hard.
  • In a recent session of a personal development group I run, several participants in their 20s and 30s got talking about being dumped by a friend.
  • Most thought things were okay, then received a long text in which the friend explained they were unhappy and wanted no further contract.
  • This is part of our genetic design, readying us to grow up and build adult lives independent of our parents.
  • This article is part of Quarter Life, a series about issues affecting those of us in our 20s and 30s.
  • The articles in this series explore the questions and bring answers as we navigate this turbulent period of life.
  • Research shows that the most common method of ending a friendship is by avoidance – not addressing the issues involved.

Why friendships break up

  • A serious romantic relationship or starting a family means the time and focus given to the friendship will naturally decrease.
  • Friendships don’t have to end over changes like this, if you can try to empathise with what your friend is going through rather than judging them or taking it personally.
  • Long friendships will naturally go through fluctuations, so it’s normal if sometimes you feel closer and other times further apart.
  • This can cause your feelings of closeness to suffer.
  • Even worse, the friend could try to make you feel bad about yourself – guilt-tripping you for developing other relationships or interests.

How to cope

  • You can help yourself get through such waves by practising diaphragmatic breathing, which is evidenced to reduce stress.
  • Discussing the situation with someone else can help, and might allow you to see what you can learn from it.
  • When coping with any type of breakup, traits of resilience (optimism, self-esteem and grit) will help you adapt.

Whooping cough is surging in Australia. Why, and how can we protect ourselves?

Retrieved on: 
Freitag, April 5, 2024

Cases are highest in Queensland and New South Wales, with more than 1,000 recorded in each state.

Key Points: 
  • Cases are highest in Queensland and New South Wales, with more than 1,000 recorded in each state.
  • The last time Queensland recorded more than 1,000 cases in three months was the first quarter of 2013.
  • So what is whooping cough, why are cases rising now, and how can you protect yourself?

It’s most dangerous for babies

  • The initial symptoms of whooping cough resemble other cold and flu-like symptoms.
  • However, as the disease progresses into the second week, the coughing fits become worse and more frequent.
  • After or between bouts of coughing, patients may gasp for air and produce the characteristic “whoop” noise.
  • Immunity from these vaccines wanes over time, so it’s also recommended adults receive a booster, particularly those who may come into frequent contact with babies.

Why are cases rising now?

  • Due to COVID measures such as border closures, social isolation and masks, the number of cases declined dramatically during 2020–23.
  • In Australia, cases have been particularly high during this outbreak in children aged 10–14.

A potential superbug

  • Most vaccines used in Australia and other developed countries stimulate your immune system to recognise and target three to five components of the bacteria.
  • These mutations make the bacteria look slightly different to the one used in the vaccine, helping it better hide from the immune system.
  • But in 2008, a new strain appeared in Australia that no longer produced pertactin, one of the components targeted by the vaccine.
  • This means your immune system, like a detective, has one less clue to recognise the bacteria.
  • Read more:
    Low vaccination and immunity rates mean NZ faces a harsh whooping cough winter – what needs to happen

What next?

  • Greater tracking of whooping cough strains, like we do with COVID, is needed to inform future vaccine design and treatments.
  • Importantly, although the bacteria is evolving, current vaccines are still very effective at preventing serious disease and reducing transmission.
