How do you deal with depression after a breakup?

Let yourself grieve! I know it is sooooo tough right now, honestly, but just let yourself cycle through the wheel of emotions that come after a breakup. You're grieving the end of a relationship and all you can do is keep trying to move on. :)

Give yourself time to grieve and understand it is natural to not feel OK, don't beat yourself up, thus meaning: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding. I personally find it helpful to talk to others abut their experiences with past breakups and how they are doing now, to find out others also felt bad, and are better at the present, or even found nicer things they couldn't have found if they stayed in that relationship, it gives me hope. After the strong emotions have passed, give yourself time to get over it, to re-connect with yourself, learn from past mistakes, learn what good it left you, give thanks, find new hobbies, etc. Do not jump from one relationship to another to feel better, people who have learnt to be alone tend to have better relationships in the future because they won't settle for anything just to scape "bad feelings". So learn to be by yourself, is a hard thing to do, but enormously rewarding.

The person that you thought loved you doesn't care about you at all. You feel like you're dying inside.

I think that the self help guide on this site is wonderful for teaching self care after a break up.

I think that depression after the break is normal because you loved that person is assumed. But if the love is over, not worth suffering :(

I haven't faced any breakups. I haven't ever tried to tie down any of my friends. "depression after breakup" is yet to be experienced.

Allow yourself to be upset, then you let yourself have some fun. See the positives and ignore the negatives. Go out and get your mind off things

Go hang out with friends or go out on a walk by yourself in the woods. Maybe bring a snack or some tea!

Finding inspiration in other things helps. Even if that doesn't involve a new relationship, sometimes finding passion in work, a hobby or even just your existing friends and family will help you heal.

Accept that it's going to happen and that sadness is natural. Be nice to yourself and don't beat yourself up for being less productive and less rational than usual. If you have people you can trust, take comfort in them. Try to strike a balance between holing up sobbing and getting out and doing things--some of each is good.

Friends are necessary in this situacions, and family too. People have to have emotional support at thoose times

Break ups are always difficult, that's obvious- but the worst part is after you part ways. So, how do you cope with it? First, you have to have the right attitude. You can't get help until you admit that you're going through a rough time and you're willing to try and get back on your feet. Secondly, you can't isolate yourself in your room and eat ice cream all day. Wake up, get dressed in something nice, go outside and grab a coffee with a friend- do something that will boost your mood. Third- do NOT, i repeat- DO NOT stalk your ex online and off. Going through their instagram and moping over how much of a good time they're having will not help you in any way. And constantly asking your friends about them won't help either. Last but not least, remind yourself that this break up happened for a reason. Nobody wants to be stuck in a relationship if both partners aren't happy. Break ups happen because someone better is coming along. So smile and focus on the positive side (:

breakups are always hard. Hold on to people who loves you who you have fun with. But also spend your time alone think about everything and keep in your mind that it is okay that people are leaving sometimes.

I look at myself and tell me that I am worth more. I did not deserve a relationship like that. Everything happens for a reason and if that was not meant to be there is someone else out there for me who will treat me better and appreciate the little things about me. It's not worth to dwell on what could have been. There is so much to life and one break up although it hurts makes you a stronger person.

Understand the emotions that you are feeling are normal and embrace them.Hide everything that it is too difficult to see right now.Try to keep a regular schedule as best as you can. Try to get your mind off of it. Enjoy spending time with the people who are still in your life. Accept the end of the relationship.

Allow yourself to grieve... some people bounce back fast, some take a while. If you find yourself grieving beyond control, seek help. It could be your brain chemical imbalance, which can be treated.

I indulge myself in works or just watch back-to-back movies and series. That helped for me. And one thing more. You should never go to any relationship just after the breakup as you will definitely be in the wrong place. Because, after a breakup, your mind is unstable and you can't decide the best for you. So, better to keep being single for a certain period before going into another relationship.

my best advice is to not talk to the person you have broken up with, talk to your friends and avoid contact with them at all possible

Well, I find things I enjoy to focus on. For example, a long term goal for me is to become a published writer. So, after my last breakup I focused on my goal of becoming a writer, while coping with my breakup at the same time by writing extensive amounts of poetry.

Focus on yourself and not what went wrong in a relationship. I know it will be hard as I've felt like this in a previous relationship. But you need to focus on you and only yourself and your health.

Sometimes, it's a matter of time. You have to let your mind grieve and process through all of those tough emotions that come from breaking up. I find that it's helpful to try and distract yourself as much as possible. Get out of the house, make new memories so the ones between you and your ex are less potent.

This question hits hard. I have so many personal experiences with this but my most recent was seven months ago when my ex broke up with me and I admit depression hit me like a truck. It's hard and a natural process but you also need to remember that you can't stay in the funk and must always remember that you are important and that even if it didn't work out there are people who care and love you.

Let yourself grieve. Have a support system behind you and go out and do things you enjoy. If you need time to think about it schedual a time frame to think about the break up but when the time is up let it go for than and do something you enjoy.

Try to rebuild your self image. Get close with your friends and focus on doing things that make you happy, and who you are now that this person is gone from your life. Acceptance, and moving on from it is the first few steps.

I recommend finding a type of relaxation. Avoid caffeine, stretch every chance you get, and think positively.

Distance yourself from the person that you are breaking up with, try to keep busy and active and move one if you truly believe you have broken up.

Find DISTRACTION and FOCUS. The best thing to do is to do something that will get your mind only THINKING about that "ONE THING". Not your ex, but a thing that you LOVED/LIKE other than your ex.

Give yourself some time. Everyone is sad after a breakup. What you do when your depressed determines how strong you are. Remember that time eventually heals everything.

Make sure you understand WHY the other person broke up with you. Not knowing will always put a weight on you and you'll keep going back to that same question. Next, understand that you are not less of a person. Just because that relationship or another one didn't work out, doesn't mean they'll all be that way. Also, understand your worth. You shouldn't feel any less worth of yourself just because it didn't work out with that one person or how many people. Try your best to move on and understand that just because the relationship is over, doesn't mean your life is. Your beautiful and wonderful no matter what! :-)
