Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand the situation you are in.
When a person gets a shock, he goes through these phases of denial, anger, depression. But ultimately he has to accept the truth of the situation.
I understand that you are under extreme stress due to your break-up. I would suggest you to adapt to the situation asap.
I have some suggestions which can help you to cope up with this situation:
DOs:
1. Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation.
2. Listen to music, go for movies and watch television.
3. Go for a walk leisurely.
4. Spend time with friends and family.
5. Work on puzzles, play games, read books.
6. Engage in your hobbies.
DONTs:
1. Act violently.
2. Turn to alcohol or smoking or any kind of addiction.
3. Become a workaholic.
4. stay alone.
5. starve yourself or overeat.
6. become stubborn, show tantrums and procrastinate.
Following this will make you feel better.
If this doesnt help, i would suggest you visit a psychiatrist for medical advice and treatment.
Any further queries are welcome.
Hope you get well soon.
Thanks.
