How to treat depression after a breakup?

Love makes people happy, but breakup makes people sad. Some people can adjust themselves and get over it in time, while others may be unhappy all day long, and in severe cases, they may even suffer from depression. How should breakup depression be treated?

1. Let it all out

No matter who you are, no matter how strong you are, after a breakup, you will inevitably experience anxiety, depression and other negative emotions. And those who want to cry but dare not, or even have to force a smile, may seem very "strong" on the surface, but in fact they are very harmful to themselves. Everyone should have the right to cry, especially when they are heartbroken. For those who cannot cry in front of others, we can find a place to cry privately, and those who are not used to crying loudly may as well let their tears flow as much as possible.

2. Calm analysis

After suffering for a while, we should face ourselves rationally and calmly analyze what went wrong. Since the breakup is a fact, we should face the reality. Remember, as mentioned before, this is not a question of right or wrong, but a question of suitability. After finding out these factors, see which ones can be changed, and change them if they can be changed. See which ones cannot be changed, and the next time you look for a lover, look for those who can better adapt to your "characteristics".

3. Find someone to complain to

When you are heartbroken, you should first find a close friend. Vent your pain and worries to your close friend without reservation, and then listen to their consolation and guidance. This can help you release your pain and worries, find psychological comfort and sustenance, achieve a balanced mentality, purify your mind, and reduce and eliminate negative emotions.

4. Balance your mindset

When you are heartbroken, the first thing you should do is to look at the things you are proud of, such as your harmonious interpersonal relationships or a member of the opposite sex who is infatuated with you, to get relief from your pain and worries. Rationally use positive words and sayings to remind and hint to yourself, such as "There is always grass out there", "Every radish has its own hole", "A blessing in disguise", etc. As long as you acknowledge the truth in these words, your mentality will be balanced.

5. Behavioral catharsis

Behavioral catharsis is a way to directly vent psychological pain and troubles through the body's external activities, such as exercise, dancing, wrestling, etc. When you are heartbroken, engaging in these activities can help relieve anger and vent dissatisfaction.
