People coping with break up depression have trouble getting control of their emotions. It is this fact that causes them further pain and anguish then they have to endore. If you can avoid common mistakes the first couple weeks after a break up you would be that much better off to recovering.

First off realize that break ups happen all the time. The emotions you are feeling are normal. You can choose to look at this in a negative light or a positive light. The fork in the road can lead you two ways. Do you live in fear of the unknown and the uneasy feeling of not having something familiar or do you get excited about all the NEW possibilities. 

Most people having trouble coping with break up depression can not get over the fear of the unknown. When you enter a change in your life your perception of that event can alter the experience. So yes you can choose to be fearful and enter that event negatively or you can say coping with break up anxiety is nothing and I am excited for the NEW people I will meet. 

Now how can we stay positive when we feel sad? There are things you can do. I read an ebook called the Magic of Making Up and it taught me valuable lessons, a few of which I will share with you.

First when coping with break up depression NEVER CALL THE EX. This emotional suicide. Right now you need to live a little without them and have your own space. I don;t care if they dumped you or are currently seeing someone else. Talking to them is going to set off a chain of events that will terrorize your emotions and make coping with break up depression impossible.

Second Get out of the house. You need to surround yourself with friends and family. Staying active is a great way to distract your mind from trying to figure out what went wrong. Or even better you start contemplating ways to get them back. When you are coping with break up depression you tend to lean toward the familiar. Getting back with your ex seems like the logical thing. But is it really?

Listen to my advice. Avoid contact and stay preoccupied. Once you have had a moment to think ask yourself the tough questions. Are you coping with break up depression and need to run to the familiar out of fear or are you truly still IN LOVE? Think back to before the break up. Where you as in love as you were earlier in the relationship? Honestly. Coping with break up depression can make people do crazy things. Take a moment to gain some perspective. Then seek help, whether its a friend, a family member, or even a book.
