I dunno what a break up feels like, especially one with a super gorgeous vampire dude. But, after Bells break up, the way she became so depressed made me cry. The reason it made me cry though was not because I felt bad for her, but because that's exactly the same way I felt when my mom died 4 years ago, and still feel a little today. So, I was thinking to myself, "Would she really become that depressed over a break up?" Yeah, it was bad, but...I dunno. Does anybody agree with me?

"Thought I'd begin by reading
a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought...."
I do agree that she was overreacting, it felt forced and fake to me. I mean, yes she was in love with him, but there wasn't a lot of time for it to grow. The love was too quick and she blew it out of proportions.

I guess once she went in that deep into depression it was too hard for her to pull herself out. sad

I dont feel like she overreacted. i totally new and understood how she was feeling, i didnt have a break up but two of my friends betrayed me. Its an awful feeling, you dont know you stand and how to act or be. Its confusing and devastating. Some people just react in this way.

I guess it depends on how close you are. They spent every waking(and non-waking for Bella) hour together. crying sad

Sometimes while reading the series I thought that maybe their relationship wasn't what they thought it was. It's a different thing to love someone and be in love with them. They were definetly in love, but I doubted that their love was that strong. I'm not entirely sure, but I think their relationship probably is that strong and that's why it affected her that way. He was really the only one who she could go to. She loved her mom and dad, but they didn't everything about her, especially not her dad. She could always go to Edward and it seemed to her that he would always help and be there for her. When he left she didn't have a person to go to anymore and once she felt that she did have a person it was hard to go back to not having one. Then Jacob comes, but that is a completely different topic.

I dont think she overreacted in the slightest. Even if they hadnt been together for very long, time doesn't change very many things in that sense, especially when you have a deep connection with someone in the first place, which I think they had. When he up and left her without warning and just by saying "i dont want you anymore" she had every right to react the way she did. She was counting on spending the rest of her life with him, a very long life, so then her whole world was blown out of proportion. I kinda wanted to strangle Edward when he said "i'll always love you...in a way" its just adding insult to injury. Anyways, my personal oppinion is that she didnt overreact, and if I had to jump off a cliff to hear my true love's voice again I would probably do it.

I just recently read over the entire series again and that part always gets to me. Really she was depressed and she was for a very long time, but then she just shut down. She only made minimal conversation and did only what she had to to feel remotely alive. Right now my friend and I are . . . well she is more like my sister, but right now we are having issues and sometimes I do just shut down and pretend. Then you don't feel the pain. As pitiful as it sounds you will only know the feeling once you experience it.

i have never felt that way, so I wouldn't know anything about that...
maybe edward and bella's love was really that strong to leave such an impact in such a short time. Bella really never had a boyfriend, and having such a close relationship with Edward (that invlolves him sharing with her his most largest secret like that) really meant something. Her being so involved says that he is completely committed and in love, and she knows it. Plus, he's realllly good looking.
maybe the fact that edward was really the first, and the best, boyfriend that was so willing to endanger his family's life to save hers, and the the sudden impact of him leaving is what gave her that kind of shock...
(just for the record, I don't think bella should have been so quick to believe him)
but...yea...thats it.

I didn't think she overreacted because I've been through a messy break up and I know what it can do to a person. However it can be taken in a lot of different ways.

I don't know. I never fell in love THAT deep in high school, so *I* would probably say it was too young to do so, but I am probably wrong. But I don't think I was in love, not REAL love, until late 2006. I dated him till he broke it off in August of last year. We were close to getting engaged. We talked all the time and spent every minute together our travel schedules allowed (dang LDRs evil ) and loved each other's families and... well, basically I LOVED him. When he broke it off I felt like I had lost a part of me... like a VITAL ORGAN or a LEG. I felt like a family member had died. I went into a major depression. BIG TIME. And, honestly, like Bella, my reaction was a lot of NOTHING. Withdrawing. Not being suicidal (though, I didn't mind if I DID die... I just wasn't willing to DO it.)... just existing with no purpose. I did this for, like, ALMOST a year. I am BEARLY pulling out of it. Not QUITE there yet. Was it healthy?
NO. And in the defense of those saying "who does that?!" I am NOT normal. I had chemical depression before the relationship, I take meds, etc.
But YES, some people certainly WOULD react like Bella. Apparently me. redface
