I dont usually do this..so spare with me.

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for a year, and im currently 14- about to turn 15 real soon. He goes to a different school than me, while we went to the same school last year. We've had an amazing relationship in the first 3 months. We loved each other so much and I was so amazingly happy. But at the end of the third month it fell apart. He told me "I love you danielle.. I mean alissa!" and I was depressed for 4 months straight. He told me he didn't love her like that. He comforted me for months after that happened and I just fully recovered about a month or two ago. Me and him are best friends, and I tell him everything. From my deepest secrets to doing "things" with him. We didn't have sex.. but we did everything but. He is the first love of my life, and I've been truely convinced that he is the only one for me.
But the thing is,
He used to call me about twice a day and I loved it. Its just I have too much insecurity and broke up with him more than 7 times,literally. He got tired of that.. and one night while he was in Brazil(about 2 months ago)..
It literally felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. Everything felt that I would never be with him and that I would never get married to him like my dreams were. I broke up with him while he was there, and got back together with him a few days after. It felt like the most tragic experience of my life. I never felt so dettached from someone. I needed him back and I tried everything I possibly could. Even though we were still together I felt like I had to actually prove myself and my love to him.
That was back in late August..
I have recently been calling him 4 times a day- while no one picks up 3 of those times. I tell him everyday I love him and that I want him so much.
He never calls anymore, he never wants to be with me. Whenever I get an I love you from him its an I love ya. I invite him somewhere, and when he can't go, he says "Oh well, thats too bad for you."Or "too bad, its your loss."
I recently invited him to my very small Halloween party, and I practiclly had to beg my mother to pick him up and give him a ride.
I've been extremely depressed lately. I feel that he doesn't love me like he used to and that things will never be the same. I will never get to marry him and he'll never be the boy I used to love. Now Im begging him to call me and im begging him to tell me why he loves me.
I cry everytime im on the phone with him.. and I tell him how useless the relationship is, and how he never tries. I told him I needed a break on friday.. and he didnt talk to me for a day straight. I told his friends and that was the worst thing I could ever do.
I have been taking pills.. pills I shouldnt be taking. I do it so I cant feel the pain so much.. and so that I dont need him. I act perfectly fine at school but my home reminds me of him.
Im going through intense depression.. and I've told no one but him. He tells me to get over it, and get over myself. I've cried for an half hour after one of our phone calls. He had to "go" and it just left me crying and wanted to stab myself,cut myself, and take pills. I wanted to do everything I could just to feel. I couldnt feel my body and I felt like I was just on a cloud watching myself from somewhere else. I felt like I was dying.
And I've never been the same since. I didn't do it.. but I felt like I was doing it. My body was jolting and all I could ever say was "why?why me?".
I havent been able to get help... because all the help in the world seems usless and seems to judge me. Im not some sick puppy..

Please, just help me.

First, for the obvious things. Pills'er bad, Mmkay? Trying to avoid the pain isn't going to help things. If anything, it'll delay it and make it -much- worse when you actually have to deal with it.

Second, why would you want to be with someone who doesn't want to be with you? Love shouldn't be something that you have for someone because of how they used to be. He's a waste of time if he's not going to treat your love like the gift it is. Easier said than done, but try to find someone who's worthy of being loved.

I've been through a similar situation. She broke up with me so that she could have an 'emotionless relationship", and I was crushed. I did everything that I could possibly do to win her back. I tried buying her things, I made her things, I told her that she was my everything. The whole 10 yards. She ended up sleeping with 2 of my friends and telling me about it. All he's doing at this point is using you for the attention that you're throwing at him.

I can be nicer or meaner at your request. I also -STRONGLY- suggest -EVERYONE- read the first 3 posts in this thread . Very very good advice on how to keep your emotional health safe when in a relationship.

wow, I`m going to give you some advice now and I hope you don`t take it badly but I think you need to hear it. Back off of him. You`re clinging to something that will never be. Stop clinging. You probably drove him away from your constant insecurities and needing to be reassured every two minutes. I mean look at it from an objective perspective. You call him 4 times a day, you broke up with him more than 7 times, you need constant reassurance by him saying I love you..... am I painting a good enough picture here? Does this actually sound normal to you? A healthy relationship has to have trust and it is clear to me that you don`t. Another thing that could have driven him away is the fact that you held it against him for so long that he said another name. It was a mistake, a slip of the tongue and I`m sure you have experienced it in your time. It happens all the time. As for the self harm stuff with pills it`s not good. You shouldn`t be doing something like that for some stupid boy. If you want my very blunt opinion I think you need to spend some time alone and find out who you are without a boy. It seems to me like you have an unhealthy obsession with this boy that you need to get over in order to better yourself or move on in life. I advise you take time away from this boy to figure things out. But that`s just my opinion and if that`s not something you want to hear then you won`t listen to my advice and that`s okay, you`ll get a little older and look back with 20/20 vision as well some day.

What i think with it was mentioned in the post above me and that you are clinging to the guy. One thing about guys they really don’t like having stuff held against them for a long time if its something as small as a name mess up. Take it from another guy. guys will do stuff like that we mess up just like everyone else. Hey i have messed up on names and the name i messed up was my brother and i have known him for 13 years and i messed up his name. its not something to worry about it happens. Mostly when you read the posts that are above me you might wonder "How am I supposed to find who i really am" and with that trust me it takes time. Time is something everyone hates and that’s the only thing that heals stuff like that. There is no easy way out of the kind of hole that your in and you can only get out with time. The most of the pain i believe is from that he is your first boyfriend. Normally the first you try and hang on to as long as possible. My first girlfriend we did nothing hardly hugged but i had her for 7 months because she was my first. My main advice for you is to wait threw it relax and see where life will take you. I’m sure somewhere down the line you will find someone else and you will find yourself with time trust me. Also keep a open mind don’t just think 'Oh he is the one' when your single keep your eyes wide open but when your dating don’t have them full closed. Remember those words and if they don’t make since tell me ill say something about them

Most of this I'm going through right now too.

Minus the part about actually going out with the guy, and he wasn't quite so mean.

I don't know how to help. Just try to let it go, don't cling to him or the memory of him. You'll find someone better and have even better memories. 3nodding

The fact is you aren't attractive anymore. The relationship was great until you started getting clingy. No one likes a clingy gf/bf because it becomes too much work to deal with. Now they have to work hard to try to reassure someone who isn't being reassured no matter how hard they try. It becomes annoying and incredibly unattractive. It sounds to me that no matter what he does you're still going to be insecure. Why leave that up to someone else? YOU are the one who needs to work on being secure, not someone else that doesn't even know how to. He's gotten tired of you and there's no hope for him helping you. Take a break. No one wants to be in a relationship like that. You aren't healthy enough to be in a relationship. Period.

Use this time to decide what your strengths are and to work on your weaknesses, right now them being incredibly insecure. You can work on that. Decide what hobbies you like and go for them. Learn to be independent by focusing on your strengths and what you want to achieve. Maybe it's getting into better shape or getting better grades in class. Not only will you be concentrating on something else instead of the hopeless situation you're in, but you're also doing something that you never thought you could do. You'll realise that once you've done this that it is so much better than chasing a dream that will never be.

One thing to watch out for. Don't turn your obsession into your new goals (them being working out or grades, or whatever it is you want to do). You'll be getting out of one disaster into another one. Make small goals instead of a whole big picture. Maybe instead of saying "I'm going to get an A on this assignment," say "I'm going to study 2 hours a night on this assignment." That way it isn't as overwhelming and your new focus won't become another unhealthy situation.

As for the self infliction, that is only making it worse. For the few hours (at most) that you'll feel good by taking pills, cutting, etc., after that's over you feel even more crappy and long for it more. It's not healing you, it's just distracting you for a very short period of time and makes the fall even harder than if you didn't start in the first place. Stop those habits and find a new more healthy one. If you feel like cutting, go for a walk outside. This way you'll take the addrenelin you had from whatever triggered your depression and walk it off. Take the time to feel yourself breathing in the air and exhailing. Listen to the birds singing, feel the wind on your face. Just obsorb yourself in your environment. By the time you get home the energy you would have used to cut yourself or take pills will be gone, and you'll feel much more calm. So think of other [healthy] alternatives when you're feeling angry or depressed, that way you can make new goals and stop the self inflicting habit for good.

Take care of yourself!
