How do you deal with depression after a breakup?

I try to take some time for myself, and focus on feeling better. I do my best to move on from the breakup, cleaning out anything that serves as a reminder or trigger. I let myself feel sorrow, resentment, or remorse, but then I let go of my grasp on those draining thoughts.

I think the best way is to try things that you have not like joining a class if you are an extrovert and actively trying to choose healthy alternatives to everything.You know yourself best and some basic things to help would be to communicate how you feel to anyone you know you can trust and trying not to be isolated. Read and listen to happy things. Accept the fact that any relationship is a part of life and not the heart of it.You are at the center of your life and you should involve yourself in activites to show yourself some love.

The trick is to distract your brain (the center of thought processing ad memory). Try to keep yourself occupied with simple tasks. If there is an overwhelming desire to cry, then there is no harm in it as it will lighten your heavy heart. And have a constant faith that your trouble is over and very soon there will be another sunshine

Well i would usually sing, draw and play sports when i'm depressed because i refuse to let my own sadness take away everything i worked so hard for in life. There are many fish in the sea why cry over that one.

Talking to friends, distracting myself, hobbies, and many other things helped me cope with depression after a loss. Also, seeing a therapist was very helpful.

After my last breakup it took me a while to start thinking positively again, I mostly got over it by talking to friends and trying to think positively about the breakup, telling myself that my previous partner obviously wasn't "the one" so I just have to keep looking as somewhere out there the perfect partner for me exists. It's important to take it slow though as it might be hard to really appreciate your new partner if you just dive into a new relationship while you are still having trouble to get over your last partner.

Reintroduce the kind of feelings that you had before the relationship happened, and maybe take up a new activity that is basically a blank slate with no memories of the person with whom the breakup occurred.

After a breakup, your depression may hit your lowest point. Your feeling of loss and loneliness can easily spiral you down further into your depression. Keeping your friends and family close is important, and so is keeping busy if you find yourself feeling the most depressed when you have free time.

The very first thing to do is to focus on the positives. There is usually a good reason to break up, and you need some time alone to figure out how to get your life back on to the singles track. Your ex-partner may or may not have been a huge influence on your life and this may make it difficult to adjust to the new life. However, though you have to ultimately figure things out for yourself, you needn't be lonely, and should enjoy the occasional time with friends. This can help cope with depression.

The most important thing that is to surround yourself with people who value, respect, and love you. Through this tough time, they will encourage and push you to do things that might seem difficult now and will help you in your journey to find who you are once again.
