How to overcome loneliness after a breakup?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had a relationship and I am not able to overcome that she is no more in my life. My family left me all alone by saying many things, which I could not accept and they are not talking to me for a long time. My friends are also saying to get away from them and I am being ignored. I do not know what is happening to me. And I do not know what to do. I am doing things like breaking every kind of stuff, hurting myself, crying for no reason, shouting at everyone, liking to be cruel, and cruelly getting things to stay alone. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Sorry to hear about your breakup and the parent's reaction to it. From the details you have given, this is a case of mild to moderate depression for which you need help. You can get treated with the help of antidepressants, cognitive behavior therapy, or a combination of both. The duration of treatment is usually six to nine months, if this is the first instance of depression and there is not a family history. In other cases, may be longer. But you should meet a psychiatrist and get treated. There is no need for you to suffer so much.

Thank you for choosing icliniq.com

I am happy to help you and will always be available whenever you need me at icliniq.com.
