gf broke up with me (wlw)

[u/cannedvegemitee]

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

I have been through my share of breakups in the last few years, and everytime I try to remind myself that I’m lucky to feel heartbroken. My brain could be wired differently and when I’m left by someone I love more than anything, I could feel nothing and walk away unscathed. But I’m grateful that I get emotionally devastated, that it feels like my heart gets dragged through asphalt by a truck. It serves as a reminder that I loved this person and I cared for them, that we treated each other well, and in a way that heartbreak never leaves you. It’s a beautiful reminder of the gift you once had.
