Tips to get out of a post breakup depression

[Meena50]

Hi - parent of two smaller children. DP of 1.5 years has decided he wants someone who is more available timewise so wants to end things. He's not the dad. I understand his point because he wants someone full time. However he's essentially gone no contact now. Im feel so so low and i was wondering whether anyone had any tips to get through this. I have lots of friends, a full time job/kids but im feeling so sad about it all and i wanted some tips to get through all of it. Currently putting on a brave face to my children but broken inside.

Time is the only healer. Just gets better with time. Is this first relationship after split with kids dad? I think they can be really hard.

@Sultanaman i had dated but nothing serious then we met, dated a bit though i was deeply in love, split then got back together years later and this time we were both deeply in love and wanted to make a go of it. Nothing has changed on my side in the sense i always had children but i think the reality made him realise he wanted someone more full time and couldnt compromise at all.

It's ok, its just i want to get myself out of this deep sadness as quickly as i can because all i keep thinking is no one will ever love me/try and understand me the way he did.

You’ve just got to ride it out unfortunately. There’s no short cut. Give yourself time to heal. Do things that you enjoy as much as you can and keep busy. One day it won’t hurt as much. Then it won’t at all. It takes a different amount of time for each person.

@HeatedBlanketAllYear appreciate the advice. I have lots of friends but feel in a slump inside.
