Advice On Moving On After A Failed Relationship

Posted in Advice by Amanda at 08:18 on 19th July 2008

When relationships end it is a sad time for everyone, sometimes we make it harder on ourselves when we refuse to let go. I know I find it that much harder to to cope with all matters of the heart since my depression.

We all know it is difficult to loose someone we love, this is why most people suffering from depression stay in unhappy relationships. The fear makes you unable to comprehend being alone especially when you have grown to depend on that person.

Being needy and feeling completely out of control is so hard to deal with and that’s without the worry of the one person you love no longer being there.

Are you that person stuck in a relationship and you know it isn’t going to work? There is nothing more self destructive than what you could be doing to yourself right now by just holding on.

Depression is hard enough without added stress, if you are unhappy and you know things aren’t going to change then make the decision that is best for you.

Put yourself first and take care of the person you are, don’t let unhappiness drag you down into a dark pit where you see no way out.

You can survive this and you will.

My own experiences have brought me to the conclusion that things do get better, just find the time for yourself and be sure it is all about you. You can be selfish and put your self first, make that new start you need and learn to love yourself above all.

    Nice job.

    Out of curiosity, did depression ruin your relationship?

  2. # 2 Amanda Says:

    To be honest I think Depression was a big part of my own failing and not our relationship so much.
    He managed to ruin that all by himself.

  3. # 3 Amanda Says:

    It is hard to support someone with Depression.
    But I find that people are so quick to blame their Depression for everything bad that happens to them, this isn’t always the case.

    Through my own experience I realised I wanted more from a relationship than he could give, he wasn’t the one for me.
    I don’t recent the past at all, I have become a stronger and happier better person for the decisions I made.
