Do you folks recommend taking a break if I’m going through bad breakup and mental breakdown?
I’m in this phase since around last 3 months. I tried everything and doing routine work. I start day with gym, cook my breakfast, go for work 5 days office, evening long walk. Evening and weekends sucks.I stay alone at new country, no friends to talk. I try to talk with my friends over phone but it’s not helping either. I stayed strong and thought it’s a phase and I’m not alone. Nothing is really helping. In break, I’m planning to go to mountain and explore solo but I don’t think it’ll work either. Please help!!

Unpopular opinion from my own experience: Please don’t run to mountains, gym, or desperately trying to meet new people. Feel the pain, cry if you feel like crying. Let it out, don’t suppress the feeling. Do the bare minimum of chores and work. Don’t be in a rush to move on. More you try, more you will be trapped in her thoughts. Embrace this time, spend time with yourself. Understand yourself. Fall in love with yourself. Soon you will start making progress. Soon you will start doing things flawlessly like past. Please don’t rush to move on.
This is what I did. Took very long time but I’m feeling much better. Last time when I felt so I booked a flight to meet her, things got worsened. I did it twice. I’m not gonna do this stunt again. Started loving myself lately and I’m hoping this feeling stays lil longer. I did hard work for this job, was about to leave. I want to enjoy everything, exploring Dubai daily.
Just came across this post and realize it's been sometime since you posted but thought of replying anyway.
Can relate to that feeling and mental status post breakup when nothing seems to be right in your life and cannot see beyond past relationship.
But just hang on a bit more, will get better saying with experience. As few pointed out don't stay alone at your home for too long.
Try to meet people in anyway possible, get new perspectives in general about life. And 1 fine day you would've moved on.
But just hang in man, things will get better.
Thanks man.
I've been facing this for 5 years now. I did not go through a breakup but mental breakdown is my regular thing now. When I recollect my day while going to bed, I ask myself, why don't I just die? I'm unfit for anything and just waiting for my time to come.
Very sad to read this. Stay strong, man. Life’s beautiful.
I would suggest to go with people instead of going solo. That may help.
