How did you overcome the depression you felt after a breakup?

Question

I need some quick tips and answers, especially from people who have gone through it. I am going through a breakup and I feel totally devastated. Please help!

Answer 1

time....time.....time.

I know the feeling that "this pain will never go away".

But it does.

Answer 2

Get involved with something new. It doesn't matter too much what it is. This type of depression happens when people lose something. Like when a friend moves away. Or the play they were involved in ends. Anything that ends.

The only thing NOT to do is to get into a new relationship right away. If you go out with someone new, its called getting them on the rebound. Would you like someone who goes out with you just to fill the hole in their life?

Answer 3

Be there for your friend is most imortant. When he needs a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to just let him do so. You need to remind your freind life goes on. No reason to beat himself up mentally. She has moved on and he needs to too. Go out and do things together, this will help him too, knowing he can till get out and have fun. Life is to short to waste it getting depressed over someone of the opposite sex. It is time to enjoy life and search for the special someone who truly will love him and respect, She is out there and will come his way when he least expects it.

Answer 4

It takes awhile. Keep busy. It's just like a death of a loved one. Each day the pain gets less.
