Am I depressed or Just getting over a broken heart?!


Question: Am I depressed or Just getting over a broken heart?
Right a fair few months ago I had a very short lived intense relationship, I fell madly in what I think was love. Only to be messed around, used and have my heart broken. I'm a gay teenager, so my head was already all over the place, this was my first gay experience. At first, I was distraught and I really was heart broken, it hurts to even see his face at college. He messed me around, and made me feel bad for falling for him. Sometime's I wake up in the night because of dreams about him, and I'm crying or close too it. I see him and my heart still sinks, and what makes it worse is that he ignore's me now. I go on random downers, and find it hard too pick myself up again. Then the next moment I am ecstatically happy. I don't know what too do, should I visit my GP? Depression runs in my family.

Answers:

Its goin to hurt for a long time. I still think of my first love, and that was 15 yrs ago. If you think you are getting depressed you should definitely talk to a doc.
I wouldn't let him ruin your world. Obviously he's no good! Don't waste your energy on something that's only going to bring you down! Just leave him in the past.
I hope you start to feel better!!!



I'd go talk to your college counselor or see a therapist, it's probably just because of the relationship but it could turn into something bad if you don't treat it the right way. As a general rule of thumb, it takes 1/3 of the length of the relationship to get over it, and if it's been a while since you broke up you should be feeling better by now (But that doesn't work for everybody - I had an 18 month relationship, it took me 3-4 months to get over it, and it could take you longer). My best advice is just to talk to your college counselor so you won't start feeling worse.

Best of luck <3



Your human, I think it's wrong to try and drug that out of you, at least this early on. Some of us are just more sensitive than others, and/or things have different meaning to us. What he did was really messed up, and it's making you feel messed up, if it didn't that'd be messed up right ? Just find healthy ways to get past it, try working out ( seriously, good for you mind, body and soul) and give yourself time, accept that what he did was wrong, but YOU shouldn't feel wrong for it, he should! The world can be a messed up place, if things get worse, and you feel a pill is in order, then that's your call, but it's not always the answer either, and your young still, you'll find someone else, and you'll totally move on ( caution on this one, as you learned, love is not as nice as they paint it in the movies).
