My girlfriend broke up with me today.

[Raysic]

I'm a mess.

we only dated for 5 and a half months but we were very much in love. then today she just decides she doesn't love me in that way anymore, says she loves me as a friend instead and breaks up with me. she says i'm her best friend and that she wants to stay friends, but i don't think i can do it.

i feel like an absolute idiot. i fell so hard for her and i had the best 5 months of my life, i was so good to her and tried so hard to make her happy. she was my life. and she was so different from any other girls, so so different. i can almost guarantee there are no other girls in the world like her

so i don't know, i'm depressed. seriously and totally depressed. she was my world and now she's gone. i don't know what the hell to do. i've had suicidal thoughts all day and i feel like i have nothing else to live for. she was my rock, i depended on her and i trusted that she'd be there, but now she's not.

help me feel better

maybe she just isnt ready to commit to a long relationship, or maybe she doesnt want to hurt you because something in her life made her break up. I think you should give her some space for the moment but dont turn your back. Atleast you 2 are still friends maybe you should talk to her. that should make you feel better

Hey there, I'm really sorry to hear about your breakup. Falling in love can be very easy to do, and you're not an idiot for doing so. Hearing that your ex doesn't love you anymore can be very heartbreaking.

First I would just like to say that you can't be friends with an ex until you are both completely over each other. So if you feel that you can't be just friends with her, then don't try. Take some time to heal and forget about her. Don't have any contact with her, that will only remind you of how much you miss her. Keep yourself busy by hanging out with friends and any hobbies you may have such as sports.

You've got to search deep down in yourself for the strength to be your own rock and deal with your own issues; this doesn't mean friends can't help. I think almost everyone becomes dependent in relationships, though; we have such a close bond and feel safe enough to rely on our partners, and we do, because it's comforting and it's easier. But we were real people before we began our relationships, and we are all still real people after we end those relationships.

You need to hang out with friends, and take time for yourself, as well. You'll feel a lot better when you are your own friend, among others.

PM me if you need to, please.
