About this tool
Healing from heartbreak does not follow a schedule. This quiz asks ten questions about your thoughts, sleep, joy, self-talk and support over the last two weeks, and describes where you seem to be: early days, moving through it, healing well or come through. It is meant to offer perspective and self-compassion.
Tips for getting the most from it
- Retake it every couple of weeks to notice slow, quiet change.
- Focus on trend rather than any single score.
- If you cannot eat, sleep or function for a long time, please speak to a doctor or counsellor.
Frequently asked questions
How long does heartbreak take to heal?
There is no fixed timeline. It varies with the relationship, your support and your circumstances. Progress is usually uneven, with good days and setbacks.
Is this a mental health assessment?
No. It is a reflection tool. For persistent low mood or anything that worries you, please contact a healthcare professional.
