Buddy, sorry to hear about your BF breaking up with you. These times are always hard to get through, but I can assure you that in time, you will be fine and you will be able to move on, however this does not help you right now.
You are lucky that you have a great set of friends and amazing parents - lean on them. That is what family and friends are for. To help you through the bad times and to celebrate the good times. If any of your friends get sick of you leaning on them, where they a real friend in the first place?
What I want you to do is make sure that you eat super well. Your mental health is paramount and your diet is very much interlinked with your mental health. It is really important because you are feeling down at the moment and the easy thing is to eat McDonalds and the like, stay away from them. They will only make you feel worse.
If you are of drinking age, stay away from alcohol - you getting drunk at this time, i cannot see anything else other than bad decisions.
I want you to download the "Smiling Mind" app. It is an app that will help you learn mindfulness, a type of meditation. When you are upset, you can use this to settle your mind and relax. It is a practiced skill so please download it and persist with it.
Make sure you that you get some exercise in. Like diet, exercise is excellent for positive mental health so get out for a run or a ride or a swim or even get some mates and go walking. Get outside and enjoy the outdoors. Staying inside and hibernating is not a good thing for you at the moment.
I want to let you know also that this is the absolute right place for your post. I think it is brilliant how you have reached out to the forums to seek advice rather than go this alone. Well done. You have now made the step of coming to the forums so you can post about anything, not just this subject.
Mark.
