How to tackle depression after a breakup?

Hello,

Welcome to the icliniq.com

I understand that you feel disturbed after losing your loved one.

You need "Grief Management" to recover the feelings of loss/failure/regret. Some tips for you:

1. Share your feelings with someone close to you, suppose a family member or a friend. Be around people, do not spend time alone because it can intensify your negative thoughts related to past memories.

2. Try to keep yourself busy and distract yourself from such thoughts. Find something to engage yourself in. It could be any activity you previously enjoyed.

3. Listening to calming music, watching a movie, preparing and eating your favorite food, wearing your favorite dress and makeover, using aromas, exercising, walking in fresh air, going out with a friend, or anything which makes your mood uplifted and pleasant.

4. Do relaxation exercises or deep breathing to calm down and get yourself in positive imagery. You want to get over your past or forget it (particularly those negative memories which have been hurtful or regretful to you).

5 For this, you need to detach yourself from thinking about the breakup with your loved one. This space can be filled with someone you find likable. Focus on your present life circumstances and you will find a way to make your future better than today. Suggest some positive thoughts and affirmations and write them down on a piece of paper. Refer to this paper daily and remind yourself of these positive statements.

6. With practice, you will attain automatic positive thinking. Take some time to show gratitude. Think of the blessings you have in life, the positive qualities you possess, and the achievements you got in your career, family, professional, social, and community life.

7. Keep an eye on what is going on in your life. There might be stressful times in your life but the effective tool here is, you understand your life stressors and find ways to come out of them. Do not make yourself stuck on one point. always push yourself to move ahead and work out problems. Develop your problem-solving skills.

8. Problems and stress are a part of everyone's life. What makes the difference is: to plan ahead of time before the problems take over you. There are always ups and downs in life. If you understand this fact, you will find yourself in a better position to deal with problems and find solutions. If you think you can get back here, just apply problem-solving skills here.

9. Take it as a problem and suggest as many solutions to this problem as possible. Pick the best solution and just implement this in your life. If the problem is solved that is good if unresolved try another solution and keep going on.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Do take follow-up if you feel the need.

Thank you.
