Feeling Depression after a Breakup

By Clay Andrews

One of the most common conditions after a separation is breakup depression. People with depression after the breakup usually have troubles coping and controlling their actions. Not only do they look gloomy but people dealing with depression usually lose weight and have an overreaction to any mention of their ex. To be honest, people like this are totally messed up. They feel as though everything is going wrong.



Dealing with breakup depression not only requires physical but also mental fortitude. It necessitates you going through several processes, the first of which is adapting to the fact that you are no longer part of a couple. It’s going to be permanent or you wouldn’t be coping with this right now.



It won’t be an easy task sorting out the mess you find yourself in. Take it a bite at a time. Aim for easy to achieve goals. Even several weeks won’t be enough to deal with the situation. You’ll only find yourself more depressed during that point. Instead practice patience. Soon enough, you’ll be the “you” you like again.



A great way to cope with break up depression is to do something with those energy you have left. You can try using your energy to take a short walk or even go talk to a loved on. These things will allow you to stop focusing on things you don’t want. Some fresh air should help you clear your head and stop you from crying. Walking as an exercise is also a sure way of getting rid of depression. If you surround yourself with friends and family, then you will feel better as you start to feel the love they have for you. That’s why they’re dubbed as your “loved ones” after all. They’re here to give you their unconditional love!



Exercising willpower is also an important part of breakup depression. You have to exercise control over things you’re not supposed to do like call or text your ex. Nothing good will happen with you chasing your ex at all costs. You will just be experiencing unnecessary pain at that. Of course, you will be disturbing your ex who is trying to forget you â€" thus making them angry all over again.



Another technique for getting over breakup depression is to keep yourself occupied.



It has been proven time and again. However, this doesn’t mean that you have to tire yourself to the point where you simply fall on the bed and sleep. That isn’t what you’re supposed to do. What you should do is focus on productive activities. Perhaps go on a vacation with your loved ones. Take up sports or any hobby you might have always wanted. The exercise will do wonders for your body. And lastly, plan for the future. Use this time to focus on yourself more. So try to get the most out of it.
