Hi Hannah, you are not alone. To recover, first you need to let go of your ex boyfriend. Love yourself first, then you will be able to spread the love. He made his choice, you can’t change it, but you can definitely change your mindset. Do you love yourself? If you do, you wont let him to conquer your mind, instead you will do things that will benefit you. I was severely depressed too because of a broken relationship. To add on, he put me down, called me names,asked for money and even asked for a booty call when he left. It really degraded me. I was so depressed that I put on hold my college too. I was all alone, my confidence was crushed, I cried and stayed in my room for months. Heck, my menstrual cycle even stopped for months because of the pressure. After pinning on someone who doesn’t deserve all that, I started to live my life, day by day. I did small things as a beginning, to regain my confidence level. I started to planning on my goals, and worked towards that. I even started college, and happy to report that I am top scorer in my college. Problems will always arise, these problems are meant to be there to make you stronger. I was so timid before that, I thought whatever my ex told me about me was true. I am more confident now, even people around me noticed the difference and said I am glowing. Now tell me, why do you want to punish yourself for a guy that left you? Do you think he deserve your love? If he really loved you, he would not have left. Love basically means together through thick and thins. You are lucky you found out his true color earlier. You are indeed still very young, there will be more relationships for you in future. But, learn to love yourself first. Try to be independent and love will come finding you on its own. For now, take time to heal, eat proper meals, exercise, meditate, sleep well. Do activities you like, even try to go for a small trip somewhere. Then, when you start college, make sure you put your 100% concentration in it. After all, lessons learned. If you can go through this, believe me, you can overtake any problems arise in future. Make a vow to change. Do search on the net too, about law of attraction. It helped me tremendously. Be happy, smile always. I hope you will recover soon. My best wishes are with you. Cheers
