Summarize this article:

A good cry often makes you feel better. If you're too embarrassed to cry in front of your loved ones, do it in private. Shut your bedroom door, curl up on your bed, and let the tears flow. Pick one or two close friends to discuss your feelings with. If other friends ask you to bring your ex along to an event, simply say, "We're not together anymore," and leave it at that. Giving everyone a blow-by-blow explanation can make you seem bitter, even if you're not. Meditate on your grief. This will help you to release any feelings of anger, which only makes grief worse. You could also start a journal to write down how you feel. Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Just write. Like meditation, journaling will also help you to release negative feelings. Vigorous exercise releases endorphins, which help to heal emotional pain. Go for a run or a power walk. Sign up for a kickbox cardio class. If you enjoy playing sports, ask your friends to play a game with you. Contact with nature can do wonders to lift your mood. Walk in the park. Help your parents in the garden. Even if you just sit under a tree and watch the local squirrels steal food from the birds, you could do yourself a world of good. Unless your parents were each other's first loves, they had to deal with broken hearts, too. When they see that you're hurting, they'll want to help. Accept their offer. Express your feelings the same way you would with your friends. Talking to other people you trust is a great way to get a different perspective on the relationship. Talking to someone can be especially helpful when the person is older than you. . Grief is a natural state that happens to everyone. Depression, on the other hand, can be deadly. When you're grieving, you acknowledge what still matters. In depression, nothing seems to matter. Seek professional help if: You lose interest in things you used to be passionate about. You close yourself off from your friends. You engage in destructive behavior like self-mutilation. You think about committing suicide.
Cry it out. Don't broadcast your breakup. Reflect privately on your feelings. Exercise. Get outdoors. Talk to your parents. Recognize the difference between grief and depression
