Firstly try and concentrate on diverting youd mind into things that intrest you rather than focusing on why you are getting negative thoughts and emphasizing on stress , it only creates a chain reaction and gers worse

Don’t be too hard on yourself now. Some amount of stress, worry, sadness is alright. One can’t expect to be very happy and cheerful soon after a relationship break up. Severing of ties does hurt. You need to come in terms with it. May be this was just necessary for both of you. However its difficult for me to comment without knowing some essential details about you and your relationship. Take some time out of yourself, try to distract yourself with some activity which make u happy, spend time with your family and if it hurts too much, you can consider taking some online/ face to face sessions with a mental health professional. You need to learn how to cope effectively with this situation.

Hi! Thanks so much for reaching out, it takes a lot of courage. I can understand how going through a breakup can cause a large amount of stress. The stress and anxiety you're going through right now can be tackled with effective self care techniques. You can practice journaling, in order to ensure that you express what you feel in some way or the other. This can be writing down your thoughts, or even through doodling and other forms that you're comfortable with. You can also apply other self care techniques like meditation and mindfulness to ensure that you remain more calm and relaxed. Alternatively, if you think you're getting too overwhelmed, you can try some breathing techniques. You can breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds and breathe out for 8 seconds. You can also practice the Box Breathing Technique. When you feel too anxious and stressed, you can also use the 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique.
However, these are just some strategies you can use in order to reduce the distress you're experiencing. If you feel emotionally distressed for longer periods of time, please consider reading our for help through therapy.
Next Steps
Please practice the mentioned Self Care Techniques. If it doesnt help you feel better, reach out to me through this app, and we can schedule an appointment to work through this together. More power to you! :)

Breakups are difficult indeed.
However I always advice one to look at yourself in “this present tense moment” because it is this present which will determine and improve your future.
Contemplating and regretting for what has happened will keep you in a really gloomy state of mind which is not healthy both for your mind & body.
You’ve got to be strong and move on. It’s for your own betterment.
Next Steps
Try meeting a psychologist for a few counselling sessions to help you move on and feel better.
