Feeling to dull to do anywork
Hello, I just had a breakup from a really good relationship. After it, I am not able to function productively. I keep lying on the bed the entire day. Despite trying my best to distract my mind and do something, I am just not able to. Also, I keep seeing her in my dreams and then waking up to reality is like too depressing. Somehow, I am getting suicidal thoughts as well. I had a breakup ealier as well but I don't know why this one is too hard to handle. I just don't know what to do. The suicidal thoughts are getting deeper with each day. Please let me knoalw how to proceed. Thanks

Hi, Break up can be very stressful, added to this covid 19 situation, it can be more stressful, this can lead to anxiety and depressive episodes Sometimes anxiety may not be overtly seen, but experienced as general discomfort, lack of interest and motivation in the things which were earlier easy and happier to do, irritability, body pains, sleep disturbances, poor appetite. Hence need to address these as early as possible. How to address the break up issues. Need to discover why you are feeling bad and guilty. There are different reasons one might feel guilty after break-up Feel bad about ending things because the the other did not want to break up.
