Okay, so… I’m 17. I dated a girl for a long time. About a year and a half. We were truly, honestly in love. But she’s such an insecure person! Her dad left her, and because of that, she needs 100% security. She needs Superman. And when our relationship went through major turbulence, I got scared. I faltered, and she dropped me like a rock because I wasn’t Superman.
She’s totally different now, too. She’s not even the same person I fell in love with in the first place. Less than a month after we broke up, she was already seeing another guy.
I started drinking a LOT, and all the while, convincing myself that I didn’t remember her. The mind is a very powerful thing. So… I forgot all about her, but for some reason, I didn’t stop drinking, and I didn’t even know why I was doing it.
Today, one of my friends gave me her (my ex’s) number since she still had my movies, and I texted her. I didn’t know who I was talking to. I asked for a name and an address, and she freaked out. She sent me a picture of herself, and it all came rushing back in a heap of pain. She screamed at me, and she hurt me really badly.
She rubbed her new boyfriend in my face. She said.
“It’s over.
Stop pretending.
Move on.
Find someone else.
I did.”
At that point. I hated her. So, I said, “You know what? I wasn’t pretending. I got you out of my head, and it felt great. So have a nice life. Bitch.”
I guess she went to her boyfriend then, and he called me wanting to fight. I don’t really care. He can come fight me if he wants.
She’s… She’s not the sweet girl I knew anymore. She’s totally different. She’s 16, and she’s dating a guy who’s out of high school. What an idiot.
So, now, I’m 17. I’m an alcoholic, clinically depressed, and borderline suicidal. I have a year until I turn 18 and can legally go to the military, so I have a year to get over her. If I’m still like this by 18, I’ll go to the military and try to get killed in combat.
She’s not the same. So why can’t I move on? What the fuck is wrong with me? WHY. CAN’T. I. MOVE. ON.
She was my first love, and we both lost our virginities to each other. God… I’ll never really forget her. That was probably pretty unhealthy to try to do. But what do I care? I don’t give a shit about myself anymore; I’m not trying to take care of myself anymore…
I need help. Maybe even therapy.
