How do you deal with depression after a breakup?

The way I find it easier to deal with depressing after a break up is accepting the pain, accept what has happened to you, and then making yourself feel better, whether its taking your self out to do something fun or going to your favorite restaurant. I find it easier not to dwell on it, it will eat you alive and you start asking "what ifs". Don't do that to yourself, find something to distract you!

Focus on you! Take this time to relearn yourself, what things do you like to do now? Places you like to go? Surround yourself with positivity! Dont let a break up get you down. You lived life before them & you can keep living without them.

Depression caused from break ups are not often simple. Try using 7 cups site to find suggestions, maybe a licensed therapist

Surround yourself with support (family friends...) try and lead a normal life and try and keep yourself motivated. If you feel it is to strong contact your GP and they will be able to offer treatment options.

I try to listen to music and stay active. Picking up a sport or hobby helps. Also, talking is the best medicine.

I think that if you talk with someone you trust about all of your feelings, you'll be 110% better. Honestly, I have written down my feelings as well as talked to someone I dearly trusted - I immediately felt better.

It's a painful stage in any person's life but it's important to let go of any resentment for the other person who we once might have loved. Moreover, it should be seen as an opportunity to grow as a person and know that life is all about experiences. Let go of the bad things and remember the good things; and take the positives and start a new chapter of your life knowing that you will be stronger for it.

To deal with your depression after a breakup you can do many things . You can try deleting everything after your breakup with your girlfriend/boyfriend off of your phone or whatever else , you can try hanging out with friends to get your mind off things , you could take sometime to yourself by relaxing !

After a breakup I deal with depression usually taking with a close friend. So that it makes me to release my pressure and create a calm self

Not having been in a relationship, i cannot answer that question but by slowly engaging in activities you like

You deal with it by surrounding yourself with family, positive friends, and a good support system. It's good to have friends that are going to come over and get you out of the house so you're not sitting around, thinking all day.

Depression after a breakup is really hard to cope with and deal with. You've known the person and gotten really close with that person and then it just ends. Sometimes that's very hard for people to deal with. Most people actually. I think the most important thing to do is to let yourself heal after. Cry. Cry for weeks if you have to. Practice your coping strategies and surround yourself with good people that you trust, like friends and family members. Distractions help. And most importantly, it takes time. It's going to take time to get over the break up and it's going to hurt like hell for a little while in the beginning too. But you'll be okay in the end.

While it sounds easier than it seems, the best thing you can do after such a heartbreak, is to always hold onto and look at the wonderful memories, and good times you had once shared. To dwell on the negative feelings, and the situations itself, will only make the depression worse, and will not allow you to better deal with and cope from the breakup.

Thats kind of a tough one because everyone has their own way of coping. However, personally i turn my energy to music and writing. I try to write about how i am feeling, why i am feeling it and come up with ways to cope with it. sometimes writing on a notebook helps enough other times it doesn't. When it doesn't i turn to a friend to talk to and listen to a lot of music. i hope this helps :)

This is when my depression is the worst it ever became. I cannot be alone. Absolutely cannot. All the thoughts I can normally ignore become 10x louder. I try to get out as much as I can and have people over.

Just think, if you broke up with the person, they aren't the one your meant to be with. Unless you get back together and truly feel like you have a better relationship

I try to keep myself busy as much as possible, I try to divert my attention to different things. I do not brood over it. I do not spend much time alone. I go out with friends or play games. Do things that I enjoy wholeheartedly. :)

Honestly, this is a very hard question to answer. As hard as it is to here, time is a great healer. It's amazing, really. You'll be walking around a mall with your family or your friends and suddenly, you remember your ex and you think "wow, that was so long ago." You won't even realize you're getting over him/her until you already have.

Depression after a breakup takes a major toll on you, depending on how bad you're upset about it. Of course, some people handle them very badly. There are many relationships that end badly. Just know that you are not alone and there are people you can talk to that can try and help you get through it. Maybe keep a good friend close.

I hang around with friends and try and forget the fact, and afterwards I busy myself in other tasks around the house

Give yourself time to accept the negative emotions that you'll be feeling. It's completely okay to be feeling down in that situation. But just remember that you're worth more than that relationship, especially if it was making you feel bad. You deserve somebody who loves you as much as you love them, and you'll find somebody like that one day. Keep that in mind but don't force yourself to feel happy straight away. Pain takes a while to heal, and that's okay.

i find that keeping occupied can help stop dwelling on the people who were once in your life. Helps forget about things as your mind is focused on the task at hand, moving forward as a person and in life.. and that deep down everything will turn out how i expected it to because something unexpected will fill the missing void.

Understand things will not get better over night. And get as much support from friends and family as you can. Stay strong xx

There's no right or wrong way to deal with a break-up, the only healer is time. Keep yourself busy and talk about how you're feeling. Don't bottle it up or let your pain define you.

It will be hard, usually harder the longer the relationship. Having a good cry (or many) can actually help you release some of those negative emotions. Another good tip is to distract yourself the best you can whether it be by a show, a book, an outdoor activity, singing to yourself, the list goes on. Of course you can't distract yourself forever but it can definitely help get you over some of the hardest parts.

Don't blame your self and don't punish your self not every brake up is the same and not every person deals with thins in the same way give yur self time to heal

Feeling depressed after a breakup is natural no matter the nature or length of the relationship. It's best to do things that you enjoy and to continue living your life in a wholesome way so that you don't succumb to the depression. And if at any time you feel the urge to self harm or you need outside help to cope with your emotions, don't hesitate to contact a mental health professional or reach out to support groups.

Dealing with depression after a break up is difficult. You need to be very self aware to recognise when natural feelings of distress and possible anger and disappointment have morphed into true depression. For the natural feelings it can be helpful to practice healthy coping skills such as talking to non judgemental friends and reflecting on what the experience has taught you about yourself and relationships in general, maybe through writing. If you are experiencing depression, with symptoms serious enough to affect your life on a prolonged and significant basis it is worth speaking to a mental healthcare provider who can offer you guidance. 7cups is here for you no matter the situation.

I think keeping busy in work or hobbies can be helpful. If you are lucky enough to have friends and/or family as a support system reach out to them.
