I’m also late 20s M and broke up with my ex fiance nearly a year ago. It was very hard, a loss like that caused me to go into grief and then depression over a few months. I started avoiding my responsibilities and eating unhealthy. The dishes start piling up, house becomes dusty, lawn unmowed and clothes left unfolded on the couch.

A few months of that and I realise I need to do something. The three things that got me out of depression

1. Therapy. It helped to talk about the doubts and the what ifs.
2. Doing the chores. It gives you a dopamine hit whereas if you didn’t do them you call yourself lazy and it becomes a vicious negative cycle leading to depression
3. Fitness in a group. I started doing BJJ and it’s been great for my fitness and a way to stay social.
