Even if the couple divorces peacefully, the period after the breakup is quite difficult psychologically. How can you survive it with dignity, not fall into depression and not commit rash acts?
Instructions
Step 1
Immediately after the divorce, give yourself some time for experiences, do not drown them out, let your emotions go free. Stressful states are relieved in different ways. You may find it easier if you throw out the negative by rearranging the furniture in the apartment. Or remove things that remind you of your ex-spouse out of sight.
Step 2
A change of place will help someone. You can go to another city or just to the forest, to nature. New places will distract from gloomy thoughts, give vivid impressions. And nature will calm and pacify.
Step 3
If this option does not suit you, try spending a few evenings in a cozy home environment. Take a bath with a pleasant scent, listen to your favorite music, watch a good movie. Just sit in a chair, wrapped in a blanket, not thinking about anything, relaxing.
Step 4
When you feel that you are able to communicate, call your relatives, friends, colleagues. Ask them about everything, talk about yourself, of course, without going too far. Delve into the problems of your counterpart, but sincerely, from the heart. If possible, help in word or deed.
Step 5
Now you have more free time, spend it meaningfully, with benefit for yourself. Sign up for a dance club, swimming pool, body shaping. Express yourself in the culinary arts, finish the long-forgotten embroidery, sew a fashionable dress.
Step 6
Of course, a panacea for stress after a divorce is children, communication with them. Walk, play, sing lullabies, go to the cinema, museums, cafes, toy stores. Don't forget about shopping for yourself. If you wish, change your hairstyle or even your image.
Step 7
Excellent healers of mental wounds are pets. Take care of them, caress them, look into the devoted dog's eyes, listen to the cozy feline purr. And it will become easier for you, more joyful.
Step 8
If time passes, and everything is seen in black, contact a specialist. A psychologist or psychotherapist will expertly help you get out of the dark abyss of depression.
