You're just experiencing your first heartbreak. These feelings are normal. However, your life isn't over. This feeling that you're feeling is just temporary. Try not to worry about every little thing. Over-thinking can cause problems that weren't even there to begin with. Don't take your life because y'all broke up. This is just one of many heartbreaks people go through in life and if everyone had the mentality of committing suicide after each one, there wouldn't be as many people in this world. Pain changes people; in most cases, for the better. Don't ruin your life because of a break up. Try and be optimistic. You will not be having this feeling a month from now or even months from now. Think about it.

Break-ups are always difficult, especially when that special person became so involved in your life. Try finding something else to occupy your time. Do something that you love! Whether that be writing, photography, dance, etc. Try to distract yourself. Try not to sit and sulk, don't think too much! Yeah, it might hurt now, but it will get better! Talk to someone you trust. Tell them what's going on. You can't do it alone, and it'll be nice having someone there to talk about it. Keeping things inside will only make you worry more. Hope you are feeling better soon!

I have gone through the same thing because I let my insecurites get the best of me but I have become a stronger person because of it...you need to relax and think about what you are doing don't do anything you will regret.

i got out of a 7 year relationship and i'm just now coming down from feeling that way. it's been OVER TWO YEARS! just try to have some self discipline to do whatever is needed to have patience lol. i started to hurt myself physically and i didn't realize the unnecessary danger i was putting myself in. i am starting to feel better though, without Dr.s and meds. even if those things are needed for some, i want to get as well as i can on my own before resorting to brain altering meds. when you realize you're having the feelings to self harm, try to recognize that it's okay to feel the way you feel, but see if you can remember in that moment to be kind to yourself and give yourself time and patience to let the feelings come and go. try to remember that this too will pass.
