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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
