Break-ups can lead to depression. 2008-12-18 19:15:32
They say everyone must go through heartbreaks and heartaches. What don't kill you will just make you stronger. But what is the best way to strong it all? Should you just shut-off the reality and pop on Prozac? Or maybe live in delusions and pretend that everything is A-okay?
Depression is a disease, and believe me, moving out from a relationship especially when it's involuntarily can lead into serious depression. Persistent feelings of sad, anxious, or "empty" moods, sudden loss of interest or pleasure in normal activities, restlessness, irritability, or excessive crying, feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness, hopelessness, and sleeping too much or too little with early morning awakenings are all symptoms of depression.
All a bit too familiar don't you think?
The best solution is to talk it out to your friends, or even strangers if you can find people who would listen. Because face it, sometimes friends can be a bit selfish and can only listen so much. That's where having a lot of friends prove to be beneficial. You can talk about the same things over and over again, to different friends, and voila you will at least be a bit cured.
It is a proven fact that by talking, we can release the pent-up emotions, which if left undisturbed will eat you up little by little. Whatever you choose to do, be sure that you have somebody by your side, if possible at all times. These aren't the times to pretend that you can stand on your own two feet. Because of course you can physically, but emotionally? Don’t worry, you will live through it, however eternal you think your love was.
But wait, Romeo and Juliet did not make it. But their story differs from you, I bet.
