By Zyan MalikPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

1. STAY AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA:

The first way point of how to come out of depression after break up is stop using social media. As much as helpful social media is it can also result in doing the exact opposite. It might contain posts, pictures, and various memories of you and your past which will make it all the more difficult to move on. Also, Social media can create a lot of hatred and anger with different posts about relationships especially when you start to relate with them. We might refer to social media platforms for refreshment but it certainly won’t be refreshing enough after a break up which can lead to being more depressed.

2. THOUGHT BOUNDARIES:

Overthinking after a break up is very common. It makes you question yourself, your love, relations, nature, etc. again and again which sometimes also results in getting yourself physically harmed. It is very important to distract yourself from thinking too much. You can do that by reading books, listening to songs, making yourself busy at work, watching comedy movies, or anything that would allow you to distract from the topic of relationships. The negativity through thinking so much consumes the good part of yourself and later, it becomes difficult to find good in anything. So, it is better to start creating thought boundaries to stay sane.

3. MEDITATION:

Meditation is the best way to calm yourself. The calmer you are, the less is the ability to take any harsh decisions. Meditation lets you focus, if done right, it will help you focus on the right and bright side of the break-up and also on the life ahead of you. It can be one of the best ways of how to come out of depression after a breakup. Practicing regular meditation can help to contemplate situations much effectively.

4. EXERCISE/ YOGA:

Focusing on mental health is not the only thing to be done after a break-up. Your physical health matters equally. Being physically fit eliminates the problem of becoming lethargic and sitting in one place all day. Doing exercise or yoga in the morning brings rays of positivity along with themselves and makes your mind refreshing. You can use this refreshment effectively to complete your tasks throughout the day while keeping your mind off of the whole break up scenario.

5. THERAPIST:

The tip is very underrated for many, but works wonders if done effectively. Talking and not isolating yourself after the break-up is very necessary to lighten the burden of stress. If you are unwilling or uncomfortable talking to friends or relatives, you can always go to a therapist. A therapist has the quality of acting as a doctor and also a friend at the same time. He uses effective techniques and activities to analyse your situation and addresses your problems accordingly. If the need is, he might even prescribe effective anti-depressants. Opening up your thoughts and emotions to a person who knows what to do with them is better than keeping them bottled up.

6. CHANGE YOUR ATMOSPHERE:

If you don’t know what to do and are having trouble handling yourself, change the atmosphere around you. The same atmosphere where you only saw your better-half every day or every time could keep you squandered up. Go on a vacation for a few days with your friends or family. Hang out with your friends, go to movies or day-outs. Keep exploring new things every day. If required, change the place where you’re living for a few days to a place with a bit more people. It might not be easy but not impossible. It’ll help you realize that there is so much more to life.
