How do you deal with depression after a breakup?

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.
