Hello, I want to thank you so much for taking the time to ask your question with Better Help.
You are in a place of Vulnerability and I appreciate you taking the courageous 1st step! What you are feeling is normal. Frustration, emptiness, loss of appetite, lack of desire to do things, and lack of energy are all signs of depression. When we are going through a breakup, we sometimes have environmental/ situational depression that occurs.
The best way to manage these feelings is:
- Not to blame yourself. What ever may have happened in the relationship was not your fault and you did not deserve what happened.
- Look at what you have gained from this relationship. You were able to have a learning experience that you will take with you into future relationships.
- DO MORE! Try your best to get out of bed, have fun, and be distracted. You can come up with different activities on a daily basis to remain distracted.
- Figure out your why! Your why that allows you to be who you are, motivates you, your goals, and gets you out of bed in the morning. Even if it is something new, take the change and complete it!
- Do not remain isolated. It is important to be around an amazing support system and be able to be with others that know you and have supported you through the years.
- Go to therapy! Being able to discuss how your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are reflecting your overall mood on a daily basis. You can also begin to find yourself and find out what you have been needing to have success in your future relationships.
- Daily routine! Make sure that you make it a point to do something new each day as well as getting up at the same time every time. Schedules are so important to our well being and overall success!
- Positive Affirmations: Be kind to yourself as it is the most important thing. ❤️
I hope you have found this helpful and have an amazing journey to your path to new beginnings and healing!
