After my break-up: Should I listen to my head that says "move on", or to my heart that says "wait for him"?

A female United States age 26-29, *alliebug writes:

So, there's this guy. He was amazing in every sense of the word. He listened to me when I needed him, he'd hold me tight when I was sad, he talked to me every day and told me he loved me....

And then we broke up. I was upset over officer Tirado dying (he was the police officer at my high school. sorry, if you don't live in Arizona you probably didn't hear about it. He pulled over a car and got shot in the head and died.) and I needed someone to talk to me about it, but my boyfriend wasnt there, and didn't want to talk about it which made me upset, and I took it out on him. So he broke up with me.

It made me even more upset. I didn't know how to handle with the fact that somebody I knew and cared about was dead, and my boyfriend didn't want me anymore. I hate myself because of it. I'm depressed, and am on medication for it, but lately I had thought I had been getting better so I stopped taking it... I thought he'd always be there if I ever needed him... Yeah, I know now that it was a stupid thing to do, because just the other day I had a bottle of sleeping pills and was just popping them into my mouth like candy... I probably would have had an overdose if my guy friend hadn't found me and stopped me...

Its only been a few days, but I miss him like crazy. I want him back. He told my sister that he still loved me, but when she asked him if he still wanted to be with me he wouldn't answer.

I'm so confused... My head is telling me, "Just get over him! find someone else, and move on before you go crawling back to him and get hurt all over again"... But my heart is telling me, "wait. he just needs time and is probably confused, and he will eventually come back to you-- and even if he does hurt me again, 8 can take one more break."

So, who do I listen to? My thoughts, or my feelings?

Cerberus_Raphael agony auntMaybe he just didn't know how to handle it. Don't condemn him just yet. You're both quite young and he may not have been able to console you because maybe, he didn't know how. He says he still loves you, he was just lost.

He was there with you for everything else because nothing else I assume, was like this. I would say, give him one more chance if you wish and wait for him to come around, in fact, I think you both need a little more time.

I hope that helps.
