I dont depend on her for happiness anymore. We only talk about 1x a week now, I have been trying to focus on my job as well as my friends and not focus so much on meeting women, which has been problematic even before i met her.
Im not suicidal anymore depressed, yes a little, suicidal no! I have been battling depression, low confidence, and zero self esteem since I was a very little kid
I am in the process of building a life for myself, my car, my job, my friends, my move to Las Vegas coming up in October. Life WILL get better for me, even if I decide not to move. I am on my way up!
Yay! I like this post much better than your original! It sounds like you are on the right track and just need to give it all time.
You will have many more loves I'm sure, best of luck to you!
I was deeply depressed and suicidal when she and I met, and she made me believe in myself again and made me happy, which until I met her I didnt think was possible
This is a problem. Tying your happiness (and suicidal thoughts) to A PERSON is not healthy. Especially when that person is an 18 year old girl. My daughter dated a boy like this once and even though they went through the motions of trying to stay friendly in the end she hated him for making HER responsible for HIS emotional well being.
Back off, move on, grow up. It's hard I know, first loves always are, but it's the only thing you can do and I'm glad to hear you are doing that! Soon you will meet someone who really clicks with you...and stays with you....and wonder what the heck you were so sad about.
Dude trust me on this. It will get better. I promise you. I was in the same situation at 20. And Ill be honest it took awhile. I know you think about her everyday and wory about her being with someone else. But one day you wont think about it. I dated a girl for 3 years from 19 - 22. When we broke up I thought my life was over. I was very depressed. I acted crazy etc.
But now I think back and Im glad we didnt work out. I see her everyonce in awhile to this day. That was over ten years ago. And we are friendly and its great. You will meet someone else. Actually many someones. And you will move on. And life will change. So keep your head up. Focus on you. Be a young guy and do guy stuff. I wasted alot of my 20's being messed up over women. And it was exactly that. A waste of time. Lifes too short man. Before you know it you will be 30 or 32 and your 20's are gone.
Stop talking to the girl. Be friendly if you see her. After all the best revenge is to do well.
You will be okay in time. Just keep telling yourself that.
