Break up

Hi there. Remember to stay strong. Times like this can be super hard but remember you have the whole 7 cups community here to support you.

Break ups happen to everyone, so remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE! And as hard as it may be right now, try and think about all the positive qualities you bring to the table and how amazing and incredible you are.

As for the depression part, I want you to do things for yourself that are positive. As long as no harm is intended in activities, do them. For example, have a long warm bath, or go for a run, or make your favourite baking treat, or drive to a small town and hang out there for a few days, or talk to older people at a seniors centre. All those things can give you the confidence to feel you again, or something that can distract you or even allow you to find some joy.

I wish the best of luck to you and hope you feel better soon.

Please take care.... I care...

i agree with everything that cat said!! you deserve to be healthy and happy. break ups are so horrible and they can be difficult to get through, and there are many steps to the healing process. it's okay to be upset, to feel depressed and anxious, and to grieve the relationship.

7 Cups actually has a really great guide on surviving breakups! you can find it here:

if you're ever in a place where you feel like you're in danger of hurting yourself, or the depression is interfering significantly with your day-to-day function, then you should try to seek professional help. i know that not everybody has the means or the time to do so, though, and that's okay.

there are always listeners available if you need to talk. i wish you all the best, and my inbox is always open if you need it.
