yesterday he (17) told me (17) when i was asleep that he needed to take a break from literally everything, not just us, but social media and even friends in general to focus on himself cuz he's been in a rough area the last month. he said he didnt want to mess anything up for us and he doesnt want me depending on him or him depending on me. we were together for a month but i swear it was the most ive connected with a person ever. ive never cried over a breakup besides my first one 4 years ago, and im still crying. im borderline inconsolable, i think. i know this sounds like teenage love and its cringey that im so broken up over it, but it was so real.

he also said our time together has made him feel like he owes me so much and he just wants to make sure im okay. that hes not a good model for me and he doesnt want me doing the "bad" things that hes doing.

i think the worst part about it was that he was so sweet. he told me im more than enough, he loves me for who i am, my personality is addictive, and i helped him feel better during the times where he was down, but he didnt want to waste my time when he knew that he wasnt in a good headspace. he also said "i want someone who can love you better than me, and always be there, to treat and care for you in a way i can’t" which is the dumbest thing. i dont want anyone else. its not the same.

he wants me to move on but i just cant. i just cant. i miss him so much. i want to wait for him to come back.

​

TL;DR: my bf took a big break from everything and everyone and now im inconsolable and dont know how to deal with it
