After breakup, I have daily suicidal thoughts, mood swings, sudden crying, poor focus, low motivation, and disturbed sleep affecting studies.

Priyank B.

A few weeks ago, after a relationship breakup, I started experiencing persistent suicidal thoughts almost every day. My mood fluctuates — sometimes I feel normal, but often I become extremely sad without any clear trigger. I keep thinking that the other person does not value me now and may only realize my worth if I am gone. At night, I often wake up suddenly and immediately think about them. During the day, I may be sitting normally and suddenly start crying; after crying, I feel temporarily normal, but this cycle keeps repeating. I am currently a student, but my concentration is very poor. I spend most of my time on my phone instead of studying, and I am unable to complete my work. I feel a constant lack of motivation to do anything, and my daily functioning is significantly affected..

Breakups can be tremendously challenging, and the symptoms you’re experiencing are serious and deserve immediate attention. The presence of persistent suicidal thoughts is a red flag that requires urgent intervention. It’s important to reach out for professional help right away, and I recommend contacting a mental health professional or a crisis hotline as your first step. A therapist or psychiatrist can offer a safe space to explore these feelings and work toward a healthier mental state. Frequent mood swings, crying spells, and disrupted sleep patterns can be indicative of depression or an adjustment disorder, especially after a significant life change like a breakup. It’s essential to pinpoint if this is linked strictly to the breakup or if there might be underlying depression that needs to be addressed. Establishing a regular routine can be beneficial too — prioritize healthy sleep habits by setting a consistent bedtime, reducing screen time before bed, and creating a relaxing bedtime routine. During the day, consider scheduling short, focused study sessions interspersed with breaks, which can sometimes help manage concentration issues. Limit distractions, such as your phone, during study times. When motivation feels low, try setting small, achievable goals to build a sense of completion and progress. Balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, even if it’s just a short daily walk, and time for relaxation can positively affect mood and motivation. Building a support network of friends and family or joining a support group where you can share experiences with others who understand can be incredibly helpful as well. Undertaking things alone can worsen feelings of isolation. Your current condition clearly affects your daily functioning — it’s essential to seek help without delay to get back on track emotionally and academically.
