Depression after Breakup

By Clay Andrews


Right after a relationship, it isn't unusual for ex-couples to feel breakup depression. People who are suffering from this condition do not operate under normal functions. Not only do they look gloomy but people dealing with depression usually lose weight and have an overreaction to any mention of their ex. Basically, they are operating under chaotic circumstances. It seems as though nothing is right with their life.

Dealing with breakup depression not only requires physical but also mental fortitude. You will have to learn how to go through several emotions, the first of which requires you to accept the fact that you are no longer part of a relationship. It's going to be permanent or you wouldn't be coping with this right now.

Sorting things out won't happen overnight. Don't tackle the big things yet. Go for goals that are simple to achieve. Even several weeks won't be enough to deal with the situation. You will only grow more depressed during that time. Instead practice patience. Pretty soon, you'll find yourself reverting back to the old you.

In order to deal with breakup depression, you should learn to do something constructive with your everyday life. You might try taking up routine walks to the beach or the park. This way, you could easily distract yourself. This might help you get a new perspective on how things stand as well as clear your head of problems. Exercises like walking are also popular for relieving a person 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 there to offer love with no limitations or barrier!

Exercising willpower is also an important part of breakup depression. You have to control yourself so that you don't suddenly text or call your ex - some things you're not supposed to do. Going after your ex will not result to anything good happening. You will just be experiencing unnecessary pain at that. Of course, your ex will definitely be angry with what you are doing especially as they are trying to get over you.

Another tried and tested method as a breakup depression cure is the classic "keeping yourself busy.

It's effectiveness is unquestioned. However, this doesn't mean you have to dedicate yourself to your job and work more hours than you are capable of dealing with. That isn't what you're supposed to do. Your goal should be doing something that would prove useful to you. Perhaps go out of town with friends and family. Start a new hobby like swimming or perhaps some badminton every weekend. This will also help greatly with your body. Lastly, you should envision what your future would look like. Use the break up as an excuse to pamper and plan for yourself. So try to get the most out of it.
