Tlc. Take time to discover new things. Take an art class or volunteer for a cause you are passionate about. Adopt or rescue a pet. Just some ideas. I found myself after a traumatic breakup, and it was empowering

Dealing with a breakup is hard. A good thing to do is to talk to someone supportive about it, and make sure your feelings are heard!

You accept it all, you get used to it until it hardly hurts anymore but if it causes things like clinical depression then you must go to the doctors for help

Occupy your mind! Take part in an activity you genuinely enjoy doing. Also, if you have a pet, studies have shown that petting an animal releases endorphins, a chemical that makes you happy!

Music. I know that it sounds stupid but it's how I deal with it. Music is the only thing that helps me through my depression besides god.

I stay depressed in my life and i slowly try to help others. I also listen to music and hopefully try to find something meaningful out of my life.

Allow yourself time to grieve over the lost relationship. Do not bottle your feelings, express them. Reach out for support around you and talk about it. Keeping a journal and writing out your feelings can help in coping and in figuring out yourself and the situation. Figure out ways to fulfill your life, such as by taking on new activities and responsibilities. Get involved and meet new people if you can, such as with a new job or volunteering. If the depression persists and you continue having difficulty, perhaps you have a lack of resources and support in the environment around you, reach out to a hotline or a professional like a counselor or therapist.

Focus on yourself and find things that make you happy again. After a break up, it's important to remember that you can be happy without relying on someone else.

try as hard as you can every day not to act how you feel. you are going to have to be the most patient person in the room for an undetermined amount of time and it is awful.
