I'm 17 and just broke up with a girl I’ve known since I was like 5. We went to school together for over 10 years and dated for 4.
I know some people are gonna say you’re too young for a real relationship and downplay it but like she was everything to me. We talked every day and hung out all the time. She’s literally the only person I’ve ever loved and felt like I could talk to. I don't have family I can turn to and none of my friends get it. She was all I had.
We broke up like 2 months ago and I still think about her every single day. I keep hoping she still likes me and will come back but deep down, I know it’s not gonna happen. It honestly feels like I’m never gonna get over this and meet anyone else.
I don't even know how to explain how strong our bond was, but trust me it was real. Even though we're young, I was so sure she was the one I wanted to spend my life with. We talked about the future and having a family and now it’s just...gone. She doesn’t seem affected at all but for me it’s like I can’t think about anything except her. To her, it’s like I never existed but to me she’s literally all I think about. Will this ever end? Has anyone else been through this?

I promise she’s thinking of you and hurting just in her own way. You guys are both super young and were together for so long so she’s probably wondering if there’s something better out there. I’ve been there with my first love thought I could find better too.

It’s all gonna work out trust me been there most of us have. Pain and loss suck no matter how old you are. If you’re lucky you get over it faster when you’re older and kinda know how to avoid it but even that’s not a sure thing.
All I can say is time focus on yourself do stuff that makes you happy try to take your mind off it.
