How do you deal with depression after a breakup?

Take a deep breath. Confide in some friends and treat yourself. Also you can refer to the 7COT breakup self-help guide if you need assistance in handling your emotions. Also you can connect with a listener who is more than glad to help :)

Go back to acknowledging yourself and those positive qualities and things that you need to improve. Learn to find positive attributes about yourself that you wouldn't normally think of before your breakup.

You have to start taking of yourself. Doing things that you find fun and learning that you are a beautiful person and you don't need a significant other in order to be happy. Main thing is getting out of bed, up off the couch and being active and having fun and getting to know yourself again.

Look inside yourself, recognize that you are not the problem. Find things that further develop you as a person :)

There are some people in your life who really care, love and support you. We have to think about them and try to make them happy.

Emotions can overpower our better knowledge like a storm overpowers a hut here. But have faith, and knowledge, that if any relationship doesn't work out, it only means that that breakup will lead to an even better relationship. Meditation also helps tremendously to calm these storms of emotions, where no logical answers really help. It's tough, but you'll get through it, even stronger than before.

try to spend as little time by yourself as you can, be with friends and family, when you are alone keep yourself busy e.g reading, games. Its a very hard thing to deal with but you'll pull through

it might sound cliché but when you learn how to love yourself all these situations are easier to cope with, get yourself up, get some fresh air, read a book, losten to you favorite songs, dance a lil bit and enjoy a good meal with your friends or family!

The best thing to do is keep your mind busy for a few days and write down in a journal why you should move on.

If a relationship ever fails, yes, it's completely understandable to be sad and even experience depression... Because the person who gave you so much time and attention and love is no longer yours. In my experience with breakups (especially my first girlfriend) It was tough... It will take time and it's no overnight process, but with the comfort of family, friends, or even strangers can help you up. But the most important thing is to realize that you can find someone even better than your last, and the one who can truly understand and help you is you. I spent time caring for myself and healing myself...
