Okay so I’m 17 and I just broke up with my girlfriend… - Help.com

Do you suffer from depression a lot?

no, I have had one case when I was 14 and it got to be pretty bad. Like I was very unhappy and very lazy… I wrote death poetry and was diagnosed by 3 doctors.

Well if she’s not the one for you might as well end it now rather than later.

yeah that’s what I thought but was it right for me to not tell her about my situation?

Yeah. Now she just feel mad, like you’re a jerk. If you told her she would feel all sorry for you and want to be there for you and all that.

Right and I don’t want her grades to suffer more… and she will get over me in like a week now instead of adding to my stress levels with my depression.

Yeah. You actually did her a favor.

Good luck with everything.

Although I feel that you should have at least called her I think you did the right thing. If it’s meant to be it will be, it’s very cliched but it’s something I have learned. If you don’t want to be with her then she needs to know that and by telling her that you don’t want to be with her because she is worrying too much gives her hope that you two will get over it and still be together. A clean break is always the best way to go.

thank you very much for your kindness!

i cannot stress this enough…. the only cure for depression is exercise…. trust me you will feel like a new person…

pills and other B.s that pharmaceutical companies try to sell you is time consuming.

good luck… no you could have delt with your depsession with out getting her involved

depression is bs. it doesnt exist.

The scars on my arm begs to differ. And please do not start things on this post. This post is not about depression, it is about his ex-girlfriend. I do not want to have to report you but I will if you respond again to criticizing someone’s disorder.

Yes, exersice does help with depression but it isn’t the only cure and you do need to add other things. There is always a reason for depression and to cure it you need to identify that/those reason(s). The pills are made so that you can function in life while you work with a psychologist to help get over your depression.

get yourself busy in work,the work that you like most,enjoy ur hobbies,try to do all that which you were not able to do in presence of her,show trust in urself that you are not affected due to her,be happ and try to be happy,don’t use pills it will not work,y should you give tension to your body due to these pills,give ur time to them who are craving for that,talk to your parents your mom,help her,she will be v-happy,go to ur friends and u r just 17 dude,this is the age of enjoyment and making goals for future and to set ur priorities,if u will become successful infuture you will get the right one,may she was not right for you and God doesn’t wana see you with her,enjoy buddy

Be happy
Cheers!
