Mood swings
Hi, I recently had some personal loss( heartbreak) and suddenly i have become very different. I keep on crying whenever i get time and also i am loosing focus on my work. I need some help regarding the same about how do i get back to being normal and forget about the things in past. Generally the kind of thoughts i get are 'what if' and why did it happen. I normally tend to be very outgoing and chilled person but suddenly all i want to think about is why did this happen and cry continuous.It might be really helpful if i can get some guidance.

Hello there! I understand how difficult it must be for you to get through this difficult time. Heart breaks can be painful and frustrating and it is normal to go through this phase where your world seems to be upside down. The best thing you can do is consult a psychologist. A psychologist is a mental health professional who would be able to understand your concerns in detail and help you manage them better. There could be different reasons for your heart break, but let me tell you that there are always good things coming your way. You will definitely find love again, and you deserve to be loved and cared for. The psychologist will talk to you and find out which type of therapy suits you the best. There are many types of therapy including CBT ( Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which has proven to be successful to manage and get through heartbreak. Here are things you could do alongside therapy to help yourself get through this: Work on regaining your self esteem - It is normal to question your self esteem and worth when an important person in your life has parted ways. So it is important to remind yourself that your confidence and esteem hasn’t gone anywhere just yet! Visit atleast one new place a week - Whether it is a cafe that you haven’t visited or a brand new book store, make it a point to visit a new place every week. You can even call your friends. The goal here is to break routines and habits that were formed earlier. Avoid rebound relationships- It is common for some people to get into rebound relationships as soon as they break up, and this is an unhealthy practise. Making impulsive decisions when you already have enough emotions to deal with after the heartbreak, jumping headfirst into another relationship is the last thing you should do. This is mostly just a mechanism to not have to deal with the pain and loneliness from the heart break! Write down why you left them in the first place when you miss them or start questioning your choices. Stay away from social media until you reach a space wherein you won’t be tempted to stalk them. Merely unfollowing him/her would not work because you many have a lot of mutual friends. Reach out to friends and family for support - We all need support through times of struggle. Support from our loved ones will help us feel loved, cared for and also help feel a sense of belongingness and security. Eat healthy, exercise and practise mindfulness. However busy your schedule is make time to have healthy meals, exercise for at least half an hour a day and practise at least ten minutes of mindfulness. These little things make a huge difference and it will help you stay positive. You will get through this! Stay strong!

If you feel like crying go ahead. Burst it out until you feel done with it. Your situation is lack of self-confidence. You are only seeing the situation which has happened to you rather than focus on the solution of how to get out of it. Look at the situation from outside and then see you will be able to face it and come out of it with better confidence and best solution.

Do not worry these issues can be resolved through individual counseling. What you are facing is known as Adjustment Disorder since you have been through alot in the past. My suggestion is to take a session of counselling first, you will really help you out.
