Some of us just cannot cope with a relationship breakup. When it happens without wanting, which it often does, it hits you like a sledge hammer. People are not used to coping with shocking news, especially when it relates to someone close you you, who you love dearly. A relationship breakup can feel at times as if it is tearing you apart, and if you let it, it could lead to depression.
As soon as you are affected by the events of a relationship breakup, the best thing to do is talk to someone about what has happened, and how you feel now. The worst thing you can do is bottle up your feelings and emotions. Get them out of you, even if it means paying to see a psychiatrist. It will be worth the expense, if it helps you cope with the breakup better.
The cause of the breakup does not have to be your fault, although we all feel guilty afterwards and blame ourselves. It is just that some people seem to shake these feelings off quicker than others. Try not to blame yourself for what has happened. Often times it happens for a reason, even though that might not be clear now. Yours is only one side of the relationship story and there are always two sides to a relationship.
It is hard to shut yourself off from all contact with your ex, and there is always your favourite social networking site to remind you he is still there. What if you saw that he had changed since he left you. For example, even though he did not drink while he was with you, he now goes out drinking with his friends. That would add more hurt to the already bruised feelings you have.
