i was with my ex for 5 years...i met her when i first moved to a certain city....then we split...it was so hard bein in a city where the only things i knew reminded me of her.....not to mention we literally went through that break up for a year....one day she would want me in her life, the next she wouldnt....my heart went on a constant roller coaster ride.
but the things that helped me the most were hobbies. friends would help somewhat, when they could, or when they were around.....but u can only show so many emotions to your friends before they start to tell you to get over it. but ive been a dj for awhile now, and finally after like three months of just drinkin like a fish, and smokin tons of pot, i woke up one day realising ive just been wasting time.....i got on my laptop and started mixing music. i made like three mix cds in a month....one of which i dedicated to her, and is still my favorite mix ive put together today because of how much emotions went into that thing.
find something u love to do....embrace it, for those times that your friends arent gonna be there.....because we can all sit here and say how your friends and family are gonna be there for you....but what about at three in the morn in a different time zone? theyre not always gonna answer that phone to pity you...you know?
keep your head up, i know it seems like your never gonna make it out of this slump your in....you will....but your only gonna make it if you believe in yourself.

Dont worry about it when you break up with someone its always hard and you become depressed. You have had this person in your life for two years and to loose them and for them not to e there anemore it must be hard.
But even if you loose you appetitie you should still eat a little somrthing to stop yourself from getting ill.
and i know uts always harder when family is invloved because everything gets a whole lot harder.
but right now you need to try and surround yourself with things that make you happy and try and look for positive things going on in your life at the moment.
It is always hard when you break up with someone and it will take time but eventually all this negative emotion will evaporate into nothing and you will move on and find someone else.
just take your time and you will be okay
hope this was useful :) x
