| Comment | Join a gym and go every other day - endorphins are real and it will make you feel better. Also eat some chocolate or food that you like, keep a stash in your house for when you feel like shit. Writing in a journal is good! Write in it how you’re feeling every day and write things you are grateful for and the positive things in your life. It sounds daft and you’ll probably feel stupid doing it at first, but these things helped me as the negative feelings can consume you. I also went to therapy which helped but it’s not for everyone. Christmas is a difficult time to go through a break-up, so keep talking to people - family, friends, people online as a problem halfed is a problem shared! Don’t make the mistake of drinking alcohol and taking drugs. That never helps and if you’re like me, it’ll just make you more depressed! Start a project - buy a second hand instrument and learn it, learn how to code or learn a new language, or even just buy jigsaws and make a point of dedicating half an hour every day to your project. Whenever you find yourself dwelling on it, go and do some work on your project. It’s a distraction but also you’ll feel better about yourself as you are improving yourself! Good luck OP!! You’ll get through this! I did! |
