Lately i just feel really down on myself. A long time partner whom was my first love ended it with me and a few days later we are back together. I was so hurt when he told me it was over i thought about suicide but didnt want to do it. I get very emotional over nothing and keep thinking about all the what ifs in life. Everything that goes wrong in life just gets to me.

Although things are hard right now, they will get better. You have my sympathy, but all you can do is continue with your life. A lot things happen for a reason. So don't make things worse by looking back and going "What if?". All we can do is learn from our past and move on. Try instead to take the time and look at all the things that you really appreciate in your life. It will take time (which is just natural) to get use to this change, but that doesn't mean you can't try doing things that make you feel good. Make sure to surround yourself with good people, and be nice to yourself above all.

Thinking about all the what ifs in life is one of the most effective ways of making your mind sick with stress and sadness ¿how many times have you noticed that good things happened against all odds? that is how life works.
Also all the labels/opinions we have are a great way to make us unhappy...."people should have this and that by this point", "people who don't have this are loosers", "I need this to be happy" etc. But those things are different through time and places!
We need to clean a lot our mind of opinions to be happy. We are far more important than a bunch of opinions.
When depression is there, the hippocampus shrinks and that makes us more depressed- so its a circle. The way to help the hippocampus is to have as many and as different impressions as possible (through all senses)... you might find a museum, mall or childrens park very boring, but your hippocampus is loving it!

There is a chance you have what is known as Adjustment Disorder With Depression. This is just a fancy way of saying that the situation with your boyfriend has made you sad to a point where it is interfering with your life. Of course I don't know this for sure. The best thing for you to do is seek some professional counseling. They can diagnose you for sure. This by no means means that you are crazy, this is common! You need to speak to an objective professional. Good luck!

It does seem as if you are depressed. Consider seeing a therapist. Everyone, at some time in their life finds themselves in the same boat, it is only natural. Sometimes we need others to help us over the hump.

You are going through a very hard time right now and your emotions are way out of control.
You have every right to feel bad and depressed!!!! I would too.
If it continues though if I were you I would seriously think about profession help.
Plus right now you are going through a grieving period. A loss of any kind is depressing and you have to go through all of the processes of accepting what has happened.
Best of luck to you.

Yer your depressed speak to your doctor about getting some couciling he may prescribe you to something but don't take it it'll make you fat. Just try to find something new you can keep yourself occupied learn a new instrument take a holliday. There are better ways to keep yourself from getting depressed than taking pills.
