How To Overcome Depression After A Break Up?

Hi, I have been feeling really sad lately. I know why but I can t tell anyone, cause I don t want to hurt anybody. I think I am seriously heart broken. My brain won t stop thinking about my ex boyfriend. I have a boyfriend now and he has been gone for over 11 months now. I am very happy with the guy I have now, but I can t seem to get back the feeling I had with my ex. I keep thinking about how he did me and how he just left me to basically die inside. I tried texting him when we broke up and he just ignored me. I really loved him. It s just hard getting over him, and I can t talk to anyone about it. I want to stay with the guy I m with now without having to wake up every morning with him on my mind. I love my boyfriend to death, and I can t tell him what I m feeling because it will just beak his heart of he knew. He loves me so much. I just don t know what to do. Can someone out there please give me advice? Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Loosing someone dear and near causes grief. Grief leads to disappointment. Grief related disappointment manifests symptoms as in the case of depression. But disappointment symptoms are far shorter in duration than depression. These symptoms will vanish in some days or weeks. Don’t worry. Physical exercise, outdoor games, entertainment, hobbies etc could help you divert your attention. I suggest cognitive therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand
