Breakups can be hard. I personally went through a very difficult one myself. The best way to handle it is allowing yourself to grieve for a little while. For some this may be a day, for others it could be up to a week. However, once you have allowed yourself to grieve, you need to jump back into life. Hang out with people you enjoy doing things with or spend time on a hobby of yours. Anything to distract your mind for the breakup. Eventually, it will get easier. Yes, thoughts will still come up and it's okay. But I promise you will make it through, I know it's hard to believe in the moment and I was able to make it through despite what I may have thought

I write things down,rip the pieces of paper up and throw it in a bin or burn it. I sone times also talk to people to release my feelings. Distracting yourself with things you enjoy can also help.

I personally had a really rough breakup with a person whom I thought was my soulmate. We were thick as thieves. And it all stopped without warning. No news, no seeing each other. What I found was the most helpful to me was to immerse myself in other things: TV Shows, studies, sport... Anything that requires your full attention, and makes you feel again.

Breakups are hard to the best way to look at any situation is that everything happens for a reason. That person was not meant to be with you either at all or at that moment. Life is hard and it's a mystery, but that's the beauty of it. It's going to hurt and take time to heal from a breakup and that's normal. Take the time to deal with the grief, but then remember that if he or she is meant to be in your life than it will happen. Until then, take all the lessons learned from that relationship and apply them to future relationships.

you always get lonely after a breakup. i think its being human. but sooner or later we need to focus on ourselves and the things that are good for us. we need to keep ourselves busy and challenge ourselves with new things or go on an adventure. take our mind off the breakup.

vent out your depression by crying, later go for a long sleep. once you wake up re-arrange your room, wash all your clothes, clean your dishes have a bath. Doesn't everything look different now??

I don't. It takes time to recover from the mourning after a breakup, but you gotta respect yourself and what you're feeling. Take your time, don't mind feeling frustrated. You just don't need to revive in your mind everytime you broke up in your life before. Just let the time do their thing.

You should talk to someone that you are comfortable with and share all of your feelings so that they don't build up inside. You should make sure the person is trustworthy and that they really care about you and will be able to help you manage your depression.

Act as if you were not depressed. Keep seeing your friends and taking care of yourself as you normally would, even if you don't feel like it. Keep doing the kind of things you would enjoy if you weren't feeling down. Work on finding a new routine - replace the things you used to do with your ex with something else. Don't get stuck at home alone doing nothing.
If you don't get better soon, get help.

By reminding yourself that there is more to your life than your ex-partner. Family, friends, school/work, hobbies, all these things are still there for you and will help you move on and feel better in time.

honestly, you have to give yourself time. It's okay to be depressed afterwards, you built a connection with that person, and you need time to heal after ending that connection.

You do things that make you happy without a second thought. You stop thinking about the other person for a while and only focus on your self. When you are ready, come to terms with the breakup. Find the good reasons before you find the bad.
