Love Lost or Depression: Decoding My Emotions

Sometimes, when the stars align and your heart sings songs of love, life can feel like a fairytale. But other times…well, let’s just say that those fairytale endings seem nothing more than a pie in the sky dream.

When I look back on my own personal history with love lost and depression, I realize now that it has been quite an adventure. It’s as if my emotional journey was a roller coaster ride with ups and downs so steep they could rival Everest itself.

Throughout all those years of uncertainty, sadness and confusion though – I learned a lot about myself. In this article we’ll work together to decode some telltale emotions that might help you too figure out what is going on beneath the surface.

Lost That Loving Feeling?

So how do you know if what you’re feeling is simply a run-of-the-mill breakup blues or something much deeper? Here are some things to look out for:

Lack Of Motivation

One day after your bucket list vacation ends (which by the way went incredibly well), suddenly everything seems duller than before. Even activities you formerly loved don’t pique your interest anymore!

Whether it’s binge-watching Netflix shows or doing something creative – you just can’t bring yourself to take any action!

You’ve Accidentally Developed A Bonafide Addiction To The Snooze Button

You used to be an early bird who saw 5am as its darling time of intimacy but these days every morning feels like torture; oh also whenever someone recommends waking up early again makes you physically angry…

Self-Doubt Is Taking Over Your Inner Monologue

You question whether anyone will ever find your taste in music cool, even yourself…

These ‘symptoms’ may sound slightly harmless at first glance but if left alone for long periods they often evolve into something much more complex.

The Big D – Depression

First of all, let’s get the boring scientific names and diagnoses out of the way. According to my trusty friend Google, “Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act”. It’s important to remember though that depression can come in waves throughout your life so who said it was just a one time deal. Below are some symptoms to keep an eye on:

Isolation has become your new reality

You’ve started avoiding friends & family members as suddenly even basic social interactions have become too draining…

No appetite for food or indulgences

Suddenly having lunch with colleagues feels like the most exhausting thing ever!

Stealthily becoming nocturnal

While everyone else goes to bed at midnight, this might be when you’re only beginning to get up in order traverse around life looking upsidedown.

So now we know some possible symptoms…but what ‘s next?

Alright Sherlock Holmes – Let’s Decode Things

Now brace yourself! We’re about dive deep into our emotions.It won’t always be pretty but I promise it’ll never be dull either 🙂
Telltale signs usually mean there’s something bigger going on beneath surface appearances.

What Made You Fall In Love?

Before anything, try determining why exactly did love appeal or wow you ? Was it his/her confidence, humor , talent , kindness etc.

By breaking down those aspects and re-evaluating them outside of their relationship status may reveal things beyond shockingly unexpected revelations for self-discovery.

Reflection Questions

-What qualities made him stay past date number two?
-Are these traits still prevalently admired?

This process can often help provide clarity by giving us tools necessary achieve better understanding of individual needs/emotional wants.At times helping find fulfillment elsewhere than our previous relationships would give us insight and peace.

Shifting My Perspectives

As mentioned above,I reflected on what I found attractive in previous romantic partners. By doing so, we set intentions to work towards those personal traits of which can be any activity (cooking exotic foods) or simply bringing out best fashion sense (onesie pajamas are allowed only if it’s your thing- no judgement here)

When a person goes through trauma in love, it usually leads self-doubt and questioning own ability pertaining a possible relationship.

Try investing time towards developing other interests, hobbies that veer off interests previously shared with partner. Indeed, this process may feel like cultivating new emotional pathways often leading to rediscovering passions once put aside.

Reaching Out For Help :

You’re not alone – please never ever forget that there is hope and help available even when everything feels dark! Often talking about how you’re feeling helps start conversations about deeper emotions,insecurities as well as authentic connections. There is strength gained from bravely pushing past walls of fear/intimidation before being vulnerable even for one moment (#amirite?).

Friends & Family

Most importantly for us – friends/family members are support system emotionally around difficult times . Keeping them informed while setting clear boundaries makes their assistance invaluable at keeping strong footing while trying times occur.

At the end of day, losing someone close whether due negative breakup or depression feels incredibly isolating but shouldn’t make us believe we must go through difficult moments entirely solo.

Whether experiencing the loss fallouts from breakups or depressive symptoms take hold; understanding personal emotions matters more than anything else.For many people societal norms discourage speaking honestly about deep pain however practical action today around healing ourselves provides authenticity outside spoken pretenses.Try exploring introspection reflecting back eventual lessons learned often revealing better ways handle future unravelling circumstances.

Now let me turn over into full Oprah mode: “So keep digging deep team and keep loving yourselves. We’ll make it through the other side! woop woop.”
