How do you deal with depression after a breakup?

How to deal with depression after a break-up in my opinion is you try to do something that makes you happy and that distracts you from the break-up. Listen to music, watch funny videos, spend time with friends and family, go shopping. Anything that makes you happy and distracts you. Try to forgive, forget and move on, or else you will just be torturing yourself.

right now that you are depressed, every part of your existence wants to end the pain, and get free, from a cell surrounded with no bars, but with your own shitty thoughts instead. that is the worst kind of torture a soul can possibly go through. being tortured not by something horrible and ugly, but by your own thoughts! now, imagine how you felt about this prison, before getting depressed, or better yet, before you were even born! nothing, right!? there was no feeling! it didn't even exist! now, when you get out of this hell hole, this loophole pattern, you will not feel any kind of resentment for existence! you will not want to get away from life any more. you will want it, with all your heart. that my friend, is how a life of fulfillment and harmony will feel like :)

I first allow myself to go through a grieving process: cry, and reflect and learn from my actions that may have contributed to the breakup, and continue to stay centered in my faith. I then begin working on not being alone - surround myself with quality people (friends, family), to lift my spirits. Being active and motivated is key.

Write a lot, every thought you have, everything causing you pain, every memory you have of the person, write it down (don't type it), as it'll help you get this out of your head. Sleep all the time you can, because you need it. And get back to sport, it'll give some oxygen to your mind, and allow you to empty it and also regain some well gained self confidence :)

Seeing them or reminding yourself of them by social media for example is going to give you more depression so keep yourself away from them and their social medias by blocking them because reminding yourself of them will cause you to miss them and feel depressed. Surround yourself with supportive people and friends and just keep yourself busy and do the things you love

Concentrate on moving forward, setting small goals to achieve one step at a time and looking forward to what the future may hold for me.

Eat ice-cream while watching a funny movie. Maybe it can help :) I tried doing that it honestly worked, ha ha I did cry through the movie but after all that crying you start enjoying the movie and feel better about the breakup

Feeling low after a break up is only natural, the best thing you can do is go with it - and try to keep your mind occupied. Try going out with friend's and family a little more.

Stay around lots of positive people who are very supportive and who can make you feel better and use negative thought distraction techniques... although this is easier said than done...

I remind myself that I will grow stronger from the relationship. It’s normal to feel sad, angry, exhausted, frustrated, and confused-and these feelings can be intense. You also may feel anxious about the future. It's important to realise these feelings will lessen in the future. Also, sharing your feelings with a close family member or friend can be very beneficial. Always keep your head up and know there are greater opportunities ahead!
