    I'm so sorry. I think what you really need is a confidence build up and something to distract you from depression. You're still young, so figure out some interests you have and use those to set goals for yourself. Go to college. Work to make a dream of yours come true. Get friends to help you get back into life. Help make the world better in some way. You don't necessarily need a girlfriend to make you happy, you can be happy by making a difference in this world. Trust me, when I felt depressed a few years ago, I thought I was small and insignificant. But now I volunteer in the community and feel like I'm actually making a difference. Just pray every day to God and remember that your life is only starting, not ending.

    Hope this helps. Good luck :)

    You're still young, love will come again. I remember feeling exactly the same way for a guy, 2 1/2 years passed and I finally got over him. Hang in there!

      Thanks for your comments i really appreciate your thoughts about it. did not confront her because she broke up and never said anything again. The same day before it happened she said : I never let you go. But that was all a lie.
      Thanks again

  • This is actually really sad. Have you thought about confronting her? I mean have you thought about going to her and telling her how bad she hurt you? Maybe that's not the best idea but it could help. However, if you want to get over her then do stuff for yourself. There are six billion people in the world and maybe one of them is waiting for you to come along and sweep her off her feet. Trust me, you'll find a girl and maybe she'll be better than your ex. In the meantime though, go out and live life. Love isn't the only experience that life has to offer.

    Yes it is normal to feel that way.

    Is it normal to then take medication for it? I don't think so. You need to face it's over. She's not coming back. Get off the drugs, get outside and get back in touch with your friends. Keep busy, stay occupied and meet new people. And whenever you feel that horrible dip in your stomach and cold embrace when you realize she's gone, embrace it. It's a reminder of what you did have, that you did love and fly high. But know that it is over and move on.

    Time does heal all wounds. You are young, things will get better, but you need to make the effort and get out there again. Things will be good. Good luck!

    I went through that, that was a dark time. What I did was date random people and use them as a distraction. I felt so empty I didn't even feel bad or guilty about who I hurt. Then slowly I got over things after over 6 months of this and met the man of my dreams. He helped me a lot.

    I went through the same exact thing when I was your age and I know it's hard to believe this but you will get over it. Almost everyone has been there.

    Love sucks but is also God's greatest gift once conquered. I met a guy at camp a few years ago. I didn't really talk to him that much but completely became obsessed with him. He lived 6 hours away and we would text every day. I really thought that I found my soul mate. One day he stopped texting me. I felt sick and depressed the rest of the summer. It took over a year to get over him. I felt a little suicidal, like no one would ever like me like he did. But that's so not true. Us teenagers have so much going through our minds. I personaly think that we want to be loved so badly by the opposite sex and when it does happen we cannot handle it. That is why I don't date yet because I know that I get attached way too easily. I know that you'll get through it. I also read some love books over the summer. There's a book called the four love languages. It's really interesting. It mentions that the first two years in a relationship are unreal. It's like a fantasy. You are obsessed with that other person but it's not real love. You think that it will be magical forever but you and that other person build up this fantasy that won't last. That's why a lot of people get divorced. They have the fantasy love their first two years of marriage and then don't know how to face real problems and real life situations. So what I'm trying to say is that a true relationship will last and will be meant to be. Depression is like a rocking chair, you never get any where. But life is like a roller coster and isn't always a straight path. Bad things can happen to all of us but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Hang in there and focus in on what you have instead of what you don't have. Learn more about what you have to offer the world. Learn and persue your passion and then eventually you will share your passion with someone else.
