Seeking Advice gf broke up with me (wlw)

i'm 17 and my girlfriend of a few months broke up with me and i know that doesn't sound like a long time but i loved her more than i loved anybody i've ever dated. i remember when she broke the news to me (over text btw) i was crying so hard i think i was having a panic attack or hyperventilating or something i don't know. but it lasted hours. i still can't eat and it's been about 2 days and i just want her back or i want to forget about this.

a part of me thinks she lied in the text because her reasoning was "we rushed into the relationship" but a big part of me thinks she just lost interest

Young man. There’s so much life ahead of you. You’re literally 17. You haven’t even met 5% of the people you will throughout your life. Just focus on a couple things that you enjoy to kill the time. You’re going to be okay, trust me.

OMG i hate when people say that!! ' You're only blah blah age, you have your whole life ahead of you'. Its minimizing and invalidating someone pain.

Also i guess this person didnt read or something. You said you were a wlw.

It’s not invalidating. Her feelings are valid and painful but I found after my first heartbreak, hearing older people tell me that it gets better and you’ve so much life ahead of you to be helpful, it made me stop feeling that the break up was the end of my life.
