feeling incredibly low/suicidal over ex boyfriend

[carrie8484]

Its 4 months since me and my ex broke up

today he confirmed he is with a new girl and I just cannot take it

for the past 4 months i have tried to gain clarity but I just cant, i guess i always thought he'd come back because the relationship was so amazing. he came along in a time of my life when i was very lonely and just swept me off my feet.

now im ashamed to say it but i just want to die

im on anti depressants and have suffered from this kind of feeling before, but ive had this awful dark, black cloud hanging over me for the past couple of weeks, like i just cannot see it getting any better. and hearing this crushing news from my ex is just the icing on the cake now.

i honestly wish i could take something and go to sleep forever

I tried to kill myself in June. It was stupid, please don't do it. My family were so upset and I felt so selfish. I know how you feel. I did it because of an ex as well, I just couldn't get over it. It will get better I promise. You think you will never find anyone else but you will I promise. There are billions of people in the world and your ex is one person. There are so many others that you could be happy with. You will fall in love with someone else and your feelings for your ex will just disappear. Just date other people; nothing serious, just join a dating website and go on dates and have fun. You'll realise you are the prize and it's his loss, and you'll meet someone that deserves you. Also, keep busy, spend time with friends and work out. I promise you'll feel better, I've beem through this a couple of times before. The first person I met on a dating site after my ex was amazing, we're together now and my feelings for my ex disappeared straight away. Also, try reading some books like 'the secret', it'll show you how to attract good things and love into your life.

Everything has a solution except for death. Dont do it simply because there is no reason for you too. I went out with this girl for 3 years before she broke up with me and before that my exwife left me after 5 years of being together. I felt exactly like you. But i tried to better myself everyday. go out! see the world in a NEW, SINGLE light! its ok to hurt and its okay to feel like you just want to end it.

Think about this. everyday you wake up and think that you are not going to be able to take the pain yet everyday you do! You know why??? because you are strong enough to take it. its a part of life!

things WILL get better trust me!!! TRUST IN YOU!

Don't be impulsive about this, be patient. I don't know if you have ever gone through a really painful experience before, but when you do heal it is rather inexplicable in a way. Time really is like magic, and the act of getting over mental trauma can feel very subconscious. If you take good steps, one day you just sort of feel better about it. Our minds are much much more flexible than we give them credit for, especially when it comes to dealing with trauma. Granted, if gone ignored mental trauma can manifest itself in terrible ways, but on the other hand our greatest weapon, time is very much a matter of patience. Furthermore, why should you end it now? Life was ok before you met him I am assuming, and then it was great with him, so why should you not wait to get back to a good place. You would be throwing your chance of finding that great happiness again. The first step to finding happiness in life is to try, and the second step is to not give up when you fail, because when you lose a hand you are dealt a new one.
