I'm sorry you have to go through such a hard time... but know you can get through it, and that there are those who are here and willing to help, talk ect. You don't have to go through this alone... that and it's a normal response to loss but try not to dwell too much on the past, you must focus on the now.

Don't give up~

Even when times seem at their worst your friends will always be there to help you. Trust in them and in yourself to carry through your struggles.

We wish the best for you and hope that tomorrow will be a better day, please take care, we believe in you~!

Even if you don't feel like it... just do it! Go out camping, or hang with friends. I know its hard and you just feel like... idk, laying around in your bed but once you are out you surely will feel better!
I am sure that your Bf who has passed doesn't want you to be sad, he wants you to be happy and enjoy the people and things around you that you love and care about.

I know its not the same, but I have many loved ones that have passed away in the past few years. My friends always manage to cheer me up, but they can't help you if you can't help yourself. Please do, try to go out with someone, or do something you enjoy :)
There is nothing wrong with being sad or depressed, but I think you would feel much better to be with some people who care about you ~

Seek out counselling. You'll be amazed at just how much they can help, both in being an ear to listen to you and in helping you lay out a plan to improve your life.

I might get slapped for this...

Don't be afraid to take medication if its been recommended for you - I was severely depressed due to extreme life issues which brought about a bad chemical imbalance. I stuck with it even though I did not feel the affects right away. I am happy I did - I can think clearly, I haven't lost too much intelligence over it, and I can go to work and not make everyone around me depressed with my cloud of doom anymore.

I mean, if you can get better without  :thumbs: - But that doesn't work for everyone, especially those with chronic depression.

i totally forgot i wrote this just to let everyone know i am doing better my room is still a mess but i am going to work on it soon i hope

Well first off bro...  And take it from someone who been through alot from homes through families through friends

Clean...  A cluttered space is a cluttered mind *looks over his cup of tea and hands you a crumpet* it doesn't need to speckle and spotless I mean look at me I like a organized mess categorized broadly not specifically

Get some work part time or even volunteer it's a distraction terrifying daunting annoying but it's something

If you get part time stretch your dollars use the bus...  Just jump on and explore saves you fuel which saves more money which means stretch that dollar more spoil yourself

Go to a park take a hike it's free and freeing

Then pick a hobby it's another distraction that frees the mind like me and RC or when I go biking (I'm practicing my downhill and all mountain)
Pick any hands on hobby or mind hobby you want something that you want and stick to it

The human mind cannot sit idle ask anyone

Open your eyes and broaden what you see be impulsive but diligent plan like "I want this I don't know when or how soon but I want it"

This is how I fight through everyday

As someone depressed, this meant a lot to me, I hope it means a lot to you too.

As was said in V For Vendetta

"Even though don't know you, even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you, with all my heart, I love you."

Never give up, because you have a precious human life, you own the greatest thing a person can own, and if you should throw it away, I would weep for you, because I know how it feels to be on that edge.

I'm going to leave you with the words of a wise man, the Dalai Lama, and though I don't agree with him on some issues, I think he has a lot of valuable things to say about life and happiness.

[Lt ReiStark]

When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways--either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength.

There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.'
No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

If we think only of ourselves, forget about other people, then our minds occupy very small area. Inside that small area, even tiny problem appears very big. But the moment you develop a sense of concern for others, you realize that, just like ourselves, they also want happiness; they also want satisfaction. When you have this sense of concern, your mind automatically widens. At this point, your own problems, even big problems, will not be so significant. The result? Big increase in peace of mind. So, if you think only of yourself, only your own happiness, the result is actually less happiness. You get more anxiety, more fear.

I'm not saying I know how to make you happy, how to find strength, I can't make the pain go away, But I can tell you that you matter.
