Best Treatment for Breakup Grief and Depression?
Hi all,
It's been a year since my terrible breakup and I have fallen in and out of deep depression. We were together for 4.5 years. Thought we would get married, but his family would not accept me for bigoted reasons, i.e I'm not of their religion (Jewish), family is not rich enough etc. They sabotaged our relationship and at the end of the day, he did not stand by me or stand up for me. The betrayal has been extremely painful. I have not sought treatment and I'm finally ready to get over this. I know I'm holding on to angst, anger and sadness and it's eating me up. I'm looking into different types of treatments and was wondering if anyone had any advice on what type of depression treatment I should look into? I'm interested in CBT, but I know there are different types and would love to hear from anyone who has recovered from a debilitating breakup. I am in pretty bad shape at this point and the pain is unbearable. I'm frustrated that after a year I'm still in this much pain. I'm ready to let go of the grief and move forward and I know I need a professional therapist to help me. Recommendations are appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that horrible experience. It's never nice to be treated less than equal for something as silly as being of a different race or religion. It sounds as if he did you a favor honestly by leaving. You deserve so much better and you deserve someone who is proud of you and not willing to compromise on your relationship for anyone. I don't have any knowledge on different therapy options but I do know that 7cups provides therapy here. Maybe you can find one in your area that can help you find different options of treatment.
I just wanted to send you a reply on your post and say, you're so much more than what your ex and his family thought of you. When one door closes, another one opens. Honestly, that next door is going to be a heck of a lot better. Trust me on that.
Good luck and take care! 
@KindListening Thank you so much for your lovely reply. It has been a struggle for the last year and sometimes I'm worried I will always be scarred and never recover. Just trying to take it day by day. I will check out the link you sent. Thank you again for your reply. I truly appreciate it!
