I'm 16 but I fell in love at 15. It might be hard to believe but I met a guy he was 19 at the time and I fell in love. Head over heels nothing I could do. Every text brought joy to my life, when we talked or touched it was like lightning flashed through my body. It was amazing, then he started dating someone I felt betrayed and hurt so I went to find someone. He changed after that. He became a dick so for the last year we talked on and off I'm 16 now and it still hurts. Causes constant pain and hurt. I tried to move on but I still think about him. How do I fix this?

i’m tired. i used to be a straight A student all through middle school. i was a good kid. never argued, had lots of friends, was likable, nice, i loved my life. i’m now a freshman in high school, so i’m not that old. i’m scared to eat, i can’t trust anyone, i’m failing 4 classes, i don’t come out of my room, just lost my best friend, my ex who i still love despises every inch of me. it’s taking a toll on my mental health and i’m just tired of being here. tired of pretending i’m happy just so other people don’t worry about me. i don’t know what to do, how to react. my anxiety is over the roof, to where i can’t even get out of bed. i got diagnosed with being bipolar, which is hard. i just don’t know what to do. i’m trying but i’m so tired. i’m running out of options.
