I need advice.

So my last boyfriend broke up with me a month ago from today. And it has made me so depressed but I haven’t showed it. Is that a bad thing? I have never been to open with anyone before and I always feel horrible when I keep it to myself but I feel like I have to, but I’m just not happy 😭
Sometimes the grieving process cuts deep after a breakup. You may never forget the trauma of losing someone you once had a strong connection with and loved deeply but it gets easier with time and the pain eventually fades.

Things aren't black and white and everyone copes and deals with things differently post breakup. The important thing to do is to eventually come full circle after experiencing the low points, grieving for a time, and eventually start the healing process and work your way back up and pick up the pieces until your whole again.

Doesn't necessarily mean you find someone else to fill the void because filling it can mean something different for everyone and for some simply finding yourself again is enough for them to get going again. In the meantime, if you need to vent or need an outlet for yourself that's perfectly okay. It's not good to bottle things up indefinitely, it's practically impossible to so without hurting yourself in the long run.

It's the sort of thing you don't want to linger for a long time or dwell on, at least from my personal experience.

I struggle with keeping emotions to myself as well. I feel like we try to help others who are going through something, but they aren’t always ready to talk about it. Some would rather deal with it themselves, while others need help. We all have our certain way of dealing with things. If and when you need someone to vent to, I’ll be available!

Based on science studies I've seen, it has suggested that humans are social animals and they need to be social to get frustrations out or they just build up...

The studies suggest for humans to get out and talk to others... or if you don't trust others, talk to a pet, a cat, a dog, or even talk to yourself out loud .... but we need to talk to help us heal.

It’s probably not healthy to feel like you have to keep it to yourself. Find someone you can talk to about it. Feel free to inbox me if you think that might help.

@jaelynn1990 Maybe it would be less intimidating if at first you message him by text or Facebook Messenger and just say that you need to talk to him. That way you don’t have to look at him or speak to him at first.

@JPWhoo ok I just did. I messaged my younger brother. I feel more comfortable talking to him than the other 2

I don't think you have to show it you might have liked your boyfriend but there are better people for you. Stay positive and keep being yourself and you'll have a better relationship with someone else.

You can be sad about the loss of a relationship. That's totally normal. Just don't allow your happiness to be wrapped up in some other person. The first step to being happy with someone is to figure out how to be happy alone.

I know how you feel this is a good place to vent and get it off your chest you dont have to hide your feeling here most of us have been thru the same thing .

It's natural to feel bad when something bad happens. Let it out if you need to. Help yourself to heal... which of course you will.

Always feels good to talk... even if its about something not quite related to your issues... helps focus...

It's normal to want to process that kind of pain first, it is always better to talk about it though.

It's not bad at all. Breakups are really hard.

You haven't spoken to anyone about it?
